First time this season we've lost a match of significance. Forgot what this feels like. 

This.

 

I fucking hate losing in any circumstances.  We had a clear path to the next round and we shit the bed.

 

The manager fucked up with his squad selection. The handful of senior players there fucked up by turning in the worst performance of the season.

Nunez was not remotely the reason we went out.

Cheap, easy target because he got on the pitch at all. 

 

All the forwards were useless. At least he can say he only got 30 minutes.

It might not be the worst thing to have happened in the long run. It seemed like all the cup games caught up with us last season in the end and that Arsenal actually benefitted from us knocking them out early on in the FA cup. But it's still disappointing to lose any game and the performance was really disappointing. Most of the senior players were really poor. It seemed like it wasn't until the last 15 minutes that we even looked bothered.

 

Well done to Plymouth. They defended well at the end. I couldn't help but like their defender who celebrated every challenge he won and clearance he made like he'd just scored a last minute winner in the cup final.

That midfield was too weak by far. Nyoni is years away from it. 

 

No excuses. We were shit. It's probably better off. We need to keep the first team fresh and these reserves have shown they ain't up to it. 

 

Ps It absolutely does my head in, these left footers unable to even kick a ball with their right. They don't even shape their body right to give themselves the option as they know they won't use it

Kinda proves the point that we don't have the squad to challenge for 4 trophies (3 remains to be seen).  We should not have to play many first choice first teamers against Plymouth, we didn't and we lost. A logical result.

This game says pretty much nothing about the squad. We didn't even use Jones, which tells you it was about the kids sinking or swimming. And they sunk. None of the first team players wanted to be there and it showed.

Wit was a risk but I'd rather that be the risk.

 

It was a risk in the same sense of telling a kid to stand on railway tracks and try to dodge an oncoming train is a risk. Absolutely idiotic.

Truly pitiful. Handed it to them on a plate. You don't throw away any game, but we did that one. Idiotic choices for the bench, absolutely no serious options for a back four who already looked bloody terrified.

 

Elliott I'm reluctantly losing patience with - that was godawful from start to finish. The forwards who needed a proper run-our were reduced to just watching from afar, while endless punts were directed at journeymen defenders who are only quite good at heading away endless punts - brilliant planning, that. Rest some of your senior players by all means, but don't humiliate the club with a shambles of a performance like that. 

Every word of this.

I don’t like losing, I get where you’re coming from. 
 

Feel sorry for the supporters who made the effort to get there. 

I don't like losing either but I'm just saying how i feel, and i don't feel anything.

 

Dunno if I'd have felt anything if we'd equalised at the end to be honest. 

 

I didn't watch until about 70 mins gone, just not arsed in the end.

 

I can pretend otherwise if people really want me to, but only if they REALLY want me to.

If you're going to get knocked out of the cup, I'd much prefer it to happen now than the semis. 

 

Shite performance, but on the plus side, that's a few less games for the team to worry about. 

 

The league is much more important than the fa Cup

And Quansah is our only option now if Konate or VVD gets injured. But apparently we've got plenty of good cover according to some FSG apologists.

 

Relying on Slot's apparent ability to keep players fit seems a bit risky, especially in key areas where our first choice is injury prone as is his back up. Time will tell.

What a fucking shite squad to bring to an FA cup game. No idea what slott is thinking. Having no senior players to change the game. Disgusting and disrespectful tbh.

And if they had played and someone got injured people would be going nuts...

 

Manager picked a team and bench he felt was enough - it wasn't - although it should have been enough, he was let down.

Man of the match: Mark Goldbridge. He played a beautiful hand on ‘That’s Football’ by stirring up talk of a Quadruple.

 

Why the hell give a wanker like that any time? Just don't flush the toilet and just stare for half an hour - it's about as much value.

It's perhaps fitting that a comedic horror show like that is decided by a goal from fucking Herman Munster.

 

A shame that a competition that some of us coveted sometimes more than the league has become such a throwawaythese days.

If 'game time' was all that was wanted, they may as well have had a knocabout at the AXA. What the hell was the good of today? The forwards didn't get anything BUT time - hardly any passes, hardly any service at all. That's not 'game time,' that's running about on a pitch without the ball.


Where did I say there was anything good about our play? 
 

Anyway, while I’m sure his preference was to win, it’s still clearly down the priority list. He’d probably have fielded a similar line-up in the next round.
