Moussa for me literally has zero football brain. The others are just pretty ****, but Moussa I wonder if he actually knows the game, rules etc.

And yep, I’d suggest RM has some ammo of get these useless ****ers out the club. They are toxic in their crapness.

Surely we have better CBs in the club than Lyanco.

And I’m sure with Alex, the club would love to have rid but he wont go for his wages. Sent he in the last year (again) of his contract?
I don’t know why we bother with Djenepo, he’s never going to compete for a starting place in the first team, so why waste a space in the cup? Give it to an academy player who might one day be a first teamer.

RE McCarthy, I have no idea why they sacked off Forster and kept him.
 
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

Because this game will have very little impact on the rest of our season, which will be rightly focused on the bigger fish we have to fry. The reason Shane’s goal ranked so highly, was because it was far later in the competition, to take us to a final, at a time and in a league where we had bugger all to keep us excited.

Oh yeah I don't disagree, just pointing out that wasn't the best example lol as we're certainly not a worse team than Bradford were.

It's not all about winning though (luckily for SFC) . Playing new teams, the run itself, unexpected results, the excitement of a draw. Look how poor we were last year and still made a semi.

The City win was probably the highlight of the entire of last season? I'm gutted to be out as I always am.

Need a big performance on Saturday.
A like mind at last
 
Only remembered this match was on at halftime. So apparently did the team. Just glad it wasn’t on tellybox, like the Grimsby fiasco. Watch out for incoming abuse from a town near Southampton.

It won't now, but it could have done..

The last sentence I think re=inforces my point. As Southamptoon we only ever play for promotion/survival or a cup run. So we have given up 33% of that excitement in game 2. Not happy as a fan
