Match Day Thread League Cup 2023-2024 Round 3 - Blackburn Rovers Away

Bugger 2-1

 

Etete

2-2

 

Yet another entertaining game from the great South Wales showmen

 

Etete with another is encouraging. And Robbo opening his account.
No respite at the back.

 

Bugger, bugger, bugger and bugger.

 

One more bugger.

3.2

 

4-2 then
looks like we'll have to settle for penalties then

 

Christ, what happened there????

I've literally looked away for 10 minutes and we're 4-2 down!!

Ah well, just have to win it 5-4 now.

 

Jesus, Runarsson saved a penalty on amongst that lot too!!

 

Defence all over the shop apparently

 

have the penalties started early ?

 

Hardly surprising with only 2 actual defenders back there really...

Guess Blackburn are a bit of a step up from Brums reserves for our experimental line-up.

 

Ouch 5-2... guess that's curtains for our cup run then

 

Yep but nothing more disastrous than that. Certainly not enough to cause any negativity. Of course we want to win these games bur just now we don't have a second string as good as the first choices. However, some third and fourth stringers got an outing.
Focus firmly on Rotherham now

 

We go up there shortly again but with no doubt a totally different team so I’m putting tonight’s experiment out of sight and mind.

We absolutely gifted them their 3rd goal.

4th was a really good hit.

A couple came down our left side. Not sure who was left wing back (Evans?) but he definitely was out of his depth playing there.
