Morale sapping loss and we won’t score

 

[pusbccfc]

I want a cup run. We've got a big enough squad for it.

 

[hill83]

Always annoys me a cup game so early into the season. Fuck off

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

League Cup should be the season opener imo

 

[Joe King]

After yesterday's shit show, I don't hold out much hope for Tuesday. MR needs to look at changes to the line up.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

2-0 Bristol

 

[pusbccfc]

Big enough yes, good enough is debatable.

Really!?

 

[shmmeee]

No replays right? 0-0 Brizzle win on pens.

 

[no_loyalty]

I can’t see anything but a defeat. When was the last time we got through to the 2nd round?

 

[Jonny]

Not fussed. Extra pre-season game in my eyes, a solid performance will do for me.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

This is this week?! cba

2-0 Bristol City, we’ll play a shite XI.

100% this. Even if we won yesterday I’d still hate this fixture. 2/3 days after the first league game is shit

 

[Saddlebrains]

Hope we play the reserves and go out tbh, couldn't give 2 fucks

League has to be priority

Odd to think that chucking games away is useful to be honest. Getting to round 2 or 3 has its uses before the fixtures become an inconvenience

 

[Tommo1993]

Wouldn’t be at all gutted with a loss. Not interested in this competition whatsoever. Just don’t get slaughtered.

 

[Sick Boy]

Hope we play the reserves and go out.

 

[Limey]

Dovin, Lati, Thomas, Kitching, Da Silva, Eccles, Torp, Allen, EMC, BTA, Tavares

Some players need the minutes to sharpen.

I am, but it won’t change my view. Getting embarrassed by AFC Wimbledon last August didn’t prove to be much use either

 

[lord_garrincha]

Weren't there a recent season when this was played the weekend before the start of season (covid perhaps)?

Better to go back to that.

 

[rob9872]

Kind of a weird one this. If we'd won yesterday I'd be heading down hoping for a decent performance but ultimately losing. Now I don't want to start with 2 defeats, so hope we smash them and go out in round 2.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It is also a bit odd to be unhappy with the squad mentality while also wanting us to throw competitive games in August

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Cup run would be useful to give different players minutes and maybe try different formations and partnerships

 

[fatso]

Hope we start with Allan and Torp in midfield, that way we won't have to put up with the same shit show on Friday.

 

[RoysterE17]

Play the u21 if we go out we go out want all energy into the league

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Hopeful/unexpected 3-2 win, with a team of youngsters. PUSB. ️

 

[Deity]

The idea that players like Dovin, EMC, Torp, BTA and Wright wouldn’t benefit from playing some part is ridiculous ….

Why the hell would you play Wilson ? Dovin needs as much game time in English football as possible right now …. He was hardly rushed off his feet on Saturday ….

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Play the weakest team , get knocked out and concentrate on the league. The sooner we are out of these cups the better . Less chance of any injuries.

 

[Nick]

Am I the only one who wants to win?

To be fair I'm not too fussed about the result, I just want a performance.
That performance against Stoke was as flaccid as we were towards the end of last season, cup aside.
Another showing like that on Tuesday and I'll be slightly worried.

 

[steve101]

I want us to win whenever we are playing. Back to back defeats is no way to start a season. Hopefully will get one or two strikers up and running. I think BTA may start.

No
