It's a tough role, too. He's not the best finisher in the division, but he works his arse off. Got plenty of goals last season because of the number of chances they were creating. Hard to see someone coming in as backup and grafting like that all the time with some quality, too.
Good luck to him. He's in the next round, so he can enjoy it. Might regret doing the other manager's team talk for him if the draw comes up, though...
They rattled in 8 pens on the spin vs us in the last round, last night they managed 1. Useless ****s.
Just watched the highlights and they were all bloody awful, too: It's like they were deliberately missing.
I don't think so. He isn't taking the cups seriously and there's no expectation from the fans to go any further. This competition is just a nice side distraction and games to get minutes into the youth and fringe players legs. If we go through again that would be great but we need stay focused on getting out of this league first and foremost.
