Don't give a **** about being knocked out of this cup. It's worrying that if we get a few injuries/suspensions this is what steps in.
I’m actually looking forward to seeing what Neil has to say. Whereas if it was Johnson I’d have been dreading it
Yet against Roma, our whole impetus disappeared when he was subbed. I think he can play a role but he was awful, along with probably 7 or 8 others.
Aim high I say, first 11 is a match for most in this league. Second 11 not so much. 4 quality additions by the end of the month and why shouldn’t we aim for top 6!
What I would say after that is a few of them will be off. They're not getting near the 1st team so will have no game time at all. Few loans coming up I think.
One of these times I'm not too bothered to be out of the cup. This season is about getting or house in order
Just feel sorry for the loyal band of fans who followed the lads to Hillsborough , they deserve their money back after having to endure such a gutless and pointless effort .
1st 11 can compete in this league. 2nd 11 us made up of mid table league one players at best. We probably have a squad of 14/15 who are of the standard required in the championship so this highlights we need another 4 or 5 in before the window closes. Winchester, Onien Diamond etc just won't cut it at this higher level.
I'm not one for saying fans should be refunded, its their choice to go knowing it could go this way. I would however let them loose in the dressing room with the players.
Looked to me like a few of them had already been told they were being ****ed off. No energy or urgency at all. ( in Roy Keanes voice...) do the basics, run around.....
. Harsh on Diamond, made some great channel runs but no-one was playing him in as they would rather play a safe option
