Brau had a much better game than KKH although I’m yet to see what he ever offers at LW, and I’m not sure what’s to gain from routinely moving him there (other than minutes). That blown chance in stoppage time was dire.

KKH had a desperately poor game.

That doesn't make him a desperately poor player.

What are you supposed to say in the match thread?

He was overmatched tbh - the formation was asking a lot of him, but he didn’t really show the bravery or the composure to do a good Torp/Rudoni impression when required. Also he inexplicably tried to chest the ball back to Wilson from a corner which led directly to their first goal.

Tonight showed that our strength is depth isn’t that great. Granted, Sheaf and Eccles were injured and Lati too.

The reason I’ve been banging on about wingers all preseason is because right now, Rapha is our only recognised winger in the squad. EMC is carrying a knock so his minutes are being managed and Sakamoto is currently out injured.

There will be games where we need the 2nd and 3rd choice players to step up and make an impact.

He had a couple of nice touches and played a nice ball to BTA in the box in the 2nd half.

Right now, you wouldn’t back him and make an impact if he was required to fill for a first team player. He’s a raw prospect. The same applies to Rapha.

He’s still developing and if Lampard believes the best way to do that is with us, or out on loan… I trust him.

So maybe it was just Luton reserves making ours look OK? Would be good to add a bit of depth this week. A winger at least.

Nah he actually had touches, just constantly tried to do more than he was able to with the ball and lost it.

Between that and Allen's passiveness our midfield was non existent until the changes.

Really, if you're a centre forward playing up front on your own the one thing you need to do is to hold the ball up which allows other players to join the attack.

Don’t get the nonchalance.

Yea it’s not the end of the world by any stretch, but a cup run is enjoyable as fan. See Wolves and Man U as evidence; two memorable experiences as a CCFC fan.

And it doesn’t automatically mean it detracts from the league performances either. We weren’t great tonight but lost due to sloppiness and mistakes.

The examples you give are FA Cup. If we bow out of the FA Cup like we did tonight then I will be pissed off. Just don't feel the same about this competition. Will gladly sacrifice a defeat tonight if it means us beating Oxford on Saturday.

You don't need 2 domestic cup competitions. It's completely pointless.
You could do something unique with it and make it a British Cup, otherwise yes just bin it.

I would actually borrow what’s been done with the equivalent competition in Scotland. Make the ‘first round’ a group stage of 4 teams each with all 3 games played before the league starts. 3 glorified friendlies against a mix of opposition.

Thats an interesting concept. Frankly, I’m not sure it’d move the dial much in terms of interest.

Attendances are a problem too and now the draw is ‘seeded’ in the next round… I wouldn’t be against the League cup being a Prem only affair.

No one takes it seriously and only the top Prem teams have the squad depth to half arse the tournament until the latter rounds.
