Normally no, because we're in the PL and the cups mean a lot more. But promotion is far more important than getting to the 3rd or 4th round of the EFL Cup. It's certainly far more lucrative.
Realistically, a good cup run for us is what, the fourth round? Would anyone look back with great fondness on a glorious trip to the fourth round, or even remember it? It sucks to go out here, but we're already staring at about 50 competitive matches this season. That's rather a lot. We can't play our best XI for cup matches unless we're intentionally playing a weakened XI in the Championship to accommodate it, and we should not be doing that.
Guessing from the subs he is fuming at Armstrong, Mara and Perraud. Adams off in 68th min too.Russel going all in. Love it

This is the more worrying thing. Lower championship teams can become well drilled at set pieces.

Love this bloke
Yeah I know. It is the attitude amongst our fans, that are so happy to write this game off, and give this team yet another free pass, it does not matter, it is just the cup, I find so irritating. Russ. Should still have kept a core of 6=7
Feels like this was an annual thing even with fewer matches. Play our best XI in every match! No excuses! Wonder why our performances seem less energetic in the second half of seasons!
Agreed. Really fallen in love with him. Its about time these players were called out publicly.
We can stand by the statement that the cup and match is not important but in any universe that was a crap result.
Yep, ****ing embarrassing. Lyanco, Bree etc can all **** off on free transfers as far as I’m concerned
Utterly woeful footballers - not even league two standard it seems.
Also hope Wilcox brings in an entire new scouting team & network. Anyone involved with signing this horrific squad has to go immediately
Agreed. You don't need to pick a crap team to realise that they are crap, he works with them all week. We should win these games, think there is still something intrinsically rotten in this group, if so work it out and don't pick them.
Thanks for giving me my first Sportato topic to write tomorrow though chaps.
Is this what they call “throwing them under the bus”?
Two recent unsuccessful managers have said similar things about players and got a very different response.
edit: I’m not saying they don’t need a good dressing down, just interesting how differently we respond to Martin atm.
