Had this one down as a draw so that second half performance was indeed a very pleasant surprise. Credit where it’s due, the manager’s subs on the 50th minute changed the game.
2 - 0 down after 12 minutes guess that we will be out of this cup competition tonight, onwards and downwards
Well that was plain embarrassing. No pride and zero organisation. Our B team just got thrashed by Swindon who are near the bottom of L2, unacceptable.
The comments I read in the press from their manager was we want to concentrate on the league, while ours said he wanted a cup run. Whoops a daisy he got it wrong again
And they rested players too. I don't care about this competition but I still expect certain standards than that. I started watching on sky+ when we were already 2-0 down. I turned off at 3-0. Taylor surely is on borrowed time.
Don't think we will be that lucky, didn't they give him something like a 4 year contract, probably cant afford to pay him off
Not a single attempt on goal whatsoever in the first half. We’re playing Huddersfield not ruddy Bayern Munich! Taylor has no idea what he’s doing.
