I know it's only the JPT et etc but is everyone more confident about our next match after this evening?
Makes no difference to me. The first team will be back in action, Powell will have had words and this will just be a mere blip soon forgotten. No big deal.
Hayes and Hughes both shocking, wagstaff very poor as was doherty, only players i thought did well were green and kermorgant when he came on. green for waggy and kermit for hayes at the weekend please.
We are gonna lose some games and get at least one thrashing. Thank god the losses so far have both been in (relatively) unimportant games with no direct bearing on the league or our promotion prospects. That this is so makes me think that CP and his backstage team are better strategists than they are sometimes given credit for. Not that he set out to lose, I'm (almost) sure he wouldn't do that, but that he makes bloody sure we aren't losing the league games.
Ideally we'd have won, but it's not the end of the world. The league is our main aim and a reality check is always a good thing and I think we can now guarentee a win this weekend because of tonight. We'll get a reaction.
Our main aim this season is to get promoted. Would I have liked to win the JPT? Yes. But we're still on track to achieve our main aim, and there was a few positives (Green, Evina, Kermorgant) from tonight.
Not once have these commentators even acknowledged that we fielded a much weakened team and are really not bothered by the result!
The commentators have been told to make NO reference to either side fielding a weakened team. This would undermine the competition & royally piss off the sponsors. The Sky commentary, as a result, was totally dishonest. Shameful really.

People talking about players attitudes but some were already tired and trying not to tire themselves out even more for Saturday. I was quite happy watching players not breaking too much of a sweat. Im sure they were only following SCP's instructions as well.
Look on the bright side. Only one card, for a player who wont pick up many, no apparent injuries, Alonso and Evina got valuable playing time, and Kermit once again looked interesting. Of course it was a poor performance but what we saw above all was the consequence of having a big squad and no reserve team competition.
Oh and we wont have any more of this nonsense before Christmas, when we have the FA Cup, which might involve replays.
Sullivan didn't do anything wrong apart from one kick. Evina looks a good prospect. Alonso never hid, was always looking for the ball from the defence but looks very rusty. Green lively in parts. Hayes few nice touches but no service. That's all the positives I can think of. And Garry Birtles is a twat.

Some of the players looked very rusty. Need to play some more behind closed doors games
Alonso looked better towards the end of the game. Green the same i would say.
Every time i see Yann, he impressive me nice little chip.

Performance still disappointing though - but thank goodness we have Cort as back up CB rather than Docherty. I had almost forgotten how bad he is!!
