League 1 - EFL Cup Round 1

[07.05.16]

Home to Cardiff on Thursday. On sky sports.

Diabolical performance. Improved when went two up top and got Hooper and Thomas on but embarrassing.

Huge improvements needed

 

[Gator]

On Saturday Mclaughlin put Southend 1-0 up, only for us to come back to win 3-1 away. (JET 1 goal, 1 assist)
Tonight Mclaughlin put Southend 1-0 up, only for us to come back to win 3-1 away. (JET 2 goals)

Lesson to take: JET is GOD

 

[GFCSludge]

Won 3-1, deja vu much? Nelson fuck up to leave us a goal down, JET destroys Southend.

Injuries aside, very satisfying.

 

[Bobbin']

Away at Cheltenham, not usually fussed about this but I don't particularly want to be going into Saturday's game off the back of 2 defeats with a losing mentality already setting in. Need to pick up some sort of positive result. It's quite conceivable that we're going to lose though.

Yep, predictable as ever.

 

[joethegill]

I bloody love JET.

 

[PuB]

JET looks to be one hell of a signing so far

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Excellent night for us. 13 players who came through the academy in the squad, 6 players making their debut.

2-0 down to come back and win 2-3 simply wonderful.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Sounds left out some big players, but it sounds like we have been total shit tonight.

 

[EricSabin]

Beat a nearly full strength Barnsley side away, we love beating higher opposition in this competition. They battered us but who cares when you've got John Joe O'Toole in the side. Bring on the big boys.

 

[blademan89]

What a fucking shambles. I've fell out with football my clubs shit and my country's shit.

 

[Fedora Dale]

A good nights entertainment at The Slick (Crown Oil Arena is far too cumbersome )

Belting finish by the excellent McGinn put Chesterfield 1 up at the break. Three second half goals by Cannon, Henderson and Mendez-Laing took Dale through; could maybe have had more as Chesterfield tired, but then again Lillis had to make a couple of smart saves.

 

[spireite]

Oh no... We're out of the mickey mouse cup... /endsarcasm

 

[Jockney]

Smashed Barnet 4-0 at the Hive. Hope we still have something left in the tank for MK Dons.

Did you play a full strength team? None of our regular starters started tonight.

I think you'll thrash this league personally. Millwall are my 11/1 antepost bet

 

[Shrimpurh]

Brown out is beginning to come about. Another shit display no improvement from the relegation form we showed in 2016 side of last season 3 wins since Feb. 7 straight competitive loses a new club record. Same defensive mistakes. Can't defend set-prices. The first sacking of the season please.

Demetriou not doing well? Amazed if not, heard he got hauled off on Saturday, that may have been incorrect though.

Best right back in the league last year.

Pathetic performance for us tonight, I know Whitney chose to leave Cuvelier, Moussa, Osbourne and O'Connor completely out of the playing squad, but all of those 4 are massive injury risks permanently. Can't help but think we are playing with fire having so many crocks in the side, if tonights first XI becomes the team for part, or a decent size of the season for whatever reason, then we are absolutely fucked.

 

[blademan89]

We played an identical 11 to saturday

 

[JJH]

Only 8305 here despite it being free for season ticket holders must admit I can see why people don't bother

How long did you last?

 

[JJH]

I bloody love JET.

Told you so, he's superb. Will flourish in your side.

A front four of Wagstaff, Dack, JET and McDonald when all fit will be ridiculous.

 

[Bottega Don]

Good win, Van Veen with two.

Very hard game, I thought Notts County defended excellently throughout the game and were unlucky to concede twice.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Dire, dire match.

Credit to Yeovil who came to our place and defended very, very well.

 

[F!RTHY]

Never seen a more one side game, but our lack of goals is becoming a serious problem. McCall needs to sort this ASAP.

We created countless opportunities tonight, and to be fair, Accy defended amicably, but it's just not good enough.

Aside from this, we learned that Colin Doyle can't save pens - he's truely fucking woeful at them.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Yay, we did a win.

We were really good second half. Jodi Jones and Kyel Reid are immense.

 

[Jockney]

Did you play a full strength team? None of our regular starters started tonight.

Made five outfield changes. Gregory a doubt for Saturday. I actually don't think squad rotation helps this early on in the season. After a two/three month break, the players need all the match-time they can get.

 

[Jockney]

I think you'll thrash this league personally. Millwall are my 11/1 antepost bet

Hope so. Certainly doesn't seem like there's anyone to fear. Well, not yet anyway.

 

[4froale]

We beat Wigan who played the whole second half with ten men.

 

[blademan89]

How long did you last?

88th min going away again this weekend thankfully so no football for me

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Oh no... We're out of the mickey mouse cup... /endsarcasm

Everyone was just saying how much worse it'll be without Chesterfield
