Once chance left to get to Wembley again this season, if we don't make it I'm going to cry.

Fans want us to win every game. Feel sorry for the fans at the game. Think they been been cheated and let down by Robins.

He should have said before the game it's gonna be the under 23s!

This is one to forget about - it's not important, and to be fair we managed a handful of those last season, too! Rather tonight than in a league game. Will be practically a different eleven on Saturday (thankfully!)

Xucking joke of team Robins put out.

Players not playing today.

Burge
Sterling
Hyam
Willis
Davies
Brown
Ogogu
Doyle
Kelly
Thomas
JCH
Chaplin
Andreu

Couple of these are injured supposedly. Can't help but think we desperately needed an experienced player or two to help the young team.
Was it within the rules to do that ?

Robins will have expected fhsm to win so will be disappointed by their inability to step up. You’ve got to think baykiss, Jones and bakayoko and Shipley can help the younger players and I agree with him.

So why did he use a formation that hasn't worked for the first team? It was clear we weren't going to win pretty much from kick off.

He hasn't shown any intent, it's just a runabout.

To be fair he did hint that it may be a mixed team (still some with a lot of first team appearances, if some recovering from injuries etc)

Agree, he should say before people travel down there. At least let on he will be using it as a fitness game rather than actually trying to win it.

I don't agree. he has had a run out, turned and looked to be positive at times. He is not going to be silly and get injured. This is just another run out for him. Fitness is everything and he does look like he has oodles of talent.

How long is it just a "run out" ?

It's fine if MR's plan is to bomb out of the cups at the earliest opportunity but at least make that clear before anyone buys tickets.

Anybody else think Geoff Foster (if he is there) won't be looking forward to interviewing MR?

I'm not sure we wanted any cup runs in the way of our promotion push ! We've fucked all 3 up badly thus far. Still as some say a win at Burton and back on track.

Well that was rather dull! Pretty much a training session by the sounds of it.

No problem playing the U23's - if they're being paid as footballers they have to be ready to step up. Pretty much all of these are not.
