  • Costello can’t take corners…… 
  • Tactical AMB injury?
  • Are people going to be genuinely sad if we go out?

    appreciate it’s not been good but I couldn’t give a toss if our second team gets beat and we’re out of the league cup?

    momentum important and all that but this is a whole new 11 playing together for the first time 
    Yes. If we'd won tonight - which we should have - we could have had a home game against one of the big boys.
    It's cliched but I'd rather beat Derby/QPR/Wrexham etc than a big day out and get walloped 4-0 by City or Spurs
  • God forbid any injury, requires one of this 11 to come into first team. 
    Thats not going to be a problem, as they'll have the experience of the rest of the first team around them

    The problem will be, and a bloody big problem it'll be, is if the entire lot playing today have to be relied upon for a game.
    Which is not going to happen so stp worrying
  • Can anyone explain how Hobden is in front of Enslin?

    Who says I'm worrying?
  • Groin injury? He’s a seriously unlucky goalkeeper.

    Don't care about the cup personally. 

    More concerned about how poor some of the depth looks tonight. 
    Not playing reserves.playing youth team so no refection on depth of squad
    I don’t buy this. AMB, Gillesphey, Z Mitchell, JRC, Anderson, Knibbs, Tanto and Kelman aren’t youth players and Fullah isn’t really anymore either. That’s 8/9 out of the 11 who should be good enough to play with some cohesion 
  • Say again where our wingers / wing back
    .. Olaofe again wins the ball both flanks were empty not one player making a run ???

    Fuck off Nathan.  Stop disrespecting a major cup competition. Only started with 6 first teamers, 3 of those (Anderson, Gilesphy and Rankin-Costello) have hardly played this season.

    And we have no experience to bring on. 




    “A major cup competition” Come on Golfie, I’m disappointed by the lineup and the score but let’s not go OTT about a crap competition here 
    This is the LEAGUE CUP !!!! 2nd only to the FA Cup in terms of cup competitions in English football. 

    You can get into Europe winning it.

    I give up.

    Most of the youth team are the depth in the squad. Hobden maybe the exception. 
  • AMB faking injury so NJ can give our players some tactical advice according to BBC Cambridge. 
  • That’s better, some good, quick passing football. A shame it needed a tactical break to do it

    Good point
  • Mitchell to Tanto, passes to Anderson, cross whizzes across the 6 yard box, and we have a throw near the RH corner flag

    In all honesty I’m not too fussed about the cup, it’s more about giving players that need minutes in competitive games that aren’t championship games the opportunity to play, and I think being in the cup is a good way of getting that..

     it’s also about the momentum, we lose tonight it’s two losses in a row and could just start to play on the minds a little…

    positives of this half so far are Kelman at least having a couple of attempts on goal, and Fullah having a decent game.
  • Shocking and disappointing that Nathan has not put enough strength into the team. Does he not realise fans pay a lot of money to follow us and this is like a preseason friendly/under 21's.

    He talks about honesty but why wasn't he honest about the likely changes that could happen tonight.

    He clearly just wants minutes for the first team subs but on this occasion I'm angry.

    Thank you for giving up, hopefully that means everyone on this thread will be spared of reading your ramblings 
  • Can anyone explain how Hobden is in front of Enslin? 
    I would guess they want to see how Hobden does in a first team game to help make a decision on his future. Same with Rylah.

    Enslin signed a long term deal earlier year. Hobden and Rylah possibly only have a year to go.
