It seems a bit odd not to use this as opportunity to bed kelman and knibbs into the first team we would have beat these without getting out of first gear had we played the starting 11. It would build fitness for all. Disappointed with tonight.
Hopefully after this a few of the U21s can go and get National League loans and play regularly. Likes of Josh Laq,Enslin,Mbick and Mwamba could do with going and getting the experience under their belts.
Might be one of a few reasons as to why Jones did what he did tonight. Especially with the Transfer Window about to close. Refuse to accept that there isn't a bigger picture going on here, and its not just a case of "Not giving a shit about the League Cup"
I know we've got incredibly picky with who we send loan players to and seem to have our favoured clubs almost now but I'd like to think we've got the feelers out with L2/ top of the NL that some of these players they'll be available for loan after tonight.
Mbick is the one I really don't get why we seem so keen to keep him in house and not go and give him a loan until January at least somewhere.
We may have tried Marcus, might not have found the right move.

Age I think, young enough to learn a lot by training with the first team.
Some of the older u21s are at the point after few seasons of u21 football they need a bigger challenge. We can’t loan them all out though, we need a big enough u21 squad.
Wins breed confidence, continues to build fitness and gives us an opportunity to get a decent tie in the next round and make a bit of money hopefully. For me this is a case of all eggs in one basket with no regard given for anything else.
But we lost in the First Round last season of this competition, and still got promoted?
Not really sure what your point is?
Forgive me for wanting my team to be competitive, and looking to win every game.
Maybe some on here are to used to the losers mentality we’ve been accustomed too in recent years that this is acceptable.
As others have said, if we go and roll over to QPR on Saturday, tonight looks even more ridiculous.
Your whinging about winning breeding confidence blah blah blah, but we lost in the First Round at this stage of the competition last season, and it did us no harm.
What bit about that did you struggle with?
To be fair, after going out in the first round of the League Cup last year it took us almost four months to kick-start our season.
What about the FA Cup in 2018/19 when we rolled over and lost at the Valley in the Second Round against a team, that I've got a feeling, we went on to beat in the Play-Off Semi-Finals?
Bloody hell, I can't remember that!
I couldn't tell you who we played in the cups that year, all I remember is beating Sunderland in the final.
