At this point the second string should be capable of handling things without draining resources of the starting XI.
Totally, how bad are some of these players. Embarrassing. Can't even do the basics ffs.
Guys
In the recent pill of our teams years in the prem. I believe the winner was Shane Long's at Liverpool I. The semi-final in this competition.just trying to reconcile that with the attitude this game is irrelevant
It’s more enjoyable if you turn your screen brightness down to zero too
We were in the PL then. Our one priority this season is promotion. The cups can go bye bye.
When you're a mid-table PL team with little hope of going any higher, the cup competitions are incredibly important.
When you're a Championship team aiming to be successful in a dog-fight for promotion, with a load of midweek matches already scheduled, the cup competitions can be set aside for a season.
Shane Long didn't score the winner at Liverpool: he scored a goal to make it 2-0 on aggregate which sealed it.
This team is never in a million years reaching a cup final.
Really, so we can be in dog fights each season with more misery. Which games have brought you most joy. Winning a semi final or scaping an away draw 0-0 at Crystal Palace to give you an outside chance of staying in the league.
I have read so many posts about enjoying the championship. It seems now the holy grail is all about getting back to the land of disappointment.
When was the last time a Championship team reached a cup final? Bradford about 10 years ago when they got battered by Swansea?
