Disappointing to end our unbeaten run or good to have that distraction out of the way?

    We are technically better than Manchester United though are we not?

    I doubt Bob will be too disappointed, as it stands we don't have a squad to cover a cup run.

    Both. Let's hope Brighton are tired on Saturday.

    Just imagine how bad it could've been for Manure if MK Dons hadn't held Danny Green in reserve.

    Apparently they had 18 shots to our 6

    6 shots all game is woeful.

    They had 8 on target to our 2, Maybe Pope deserves more credit than I gave from the commentary.

    I think the rose tinting is taking over on some of you lot though.

    We are not playing this lovely football you all seem to think we are. Our possession reflects this!

    We do need a decent partner for Vetokele and Bob needs a better plan B than putting our big lump slow CB's up front.

    Squad is thin. A league cup run would not have helped.

    Disappointed. Its always good to win & to keep an unbeaten run going. My main concern is that by the sounds of it we didn't threaten much in front of goal.

    just hope its a blip & we are better on Saturday.

    Losing thanks to an 87th Minute goal, against last year's play off finalists, I dont think its to bad
    and it is better than last year

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Christ i'd hate to see how depressed you were last season.
    Didn't expect much else. Probably highlights the need for a couple players. Onto saturday

    I listened to the Derby County coverage, and their blokes were not disparaging at all, they were well respectful, and even worried that we would beat them.
    I agree we still need some players, and that we are a work in progress, but there have been many more miserable defeats than that one and we will learn from it. Quite a few plusses like another quality 90 minutes for Joe Gomez, and what sounds like a much improved Pope performance.
    We dust ourselves down and move on.

    I wasn't depressed last season as expectations hadn't been built up.

    That's 2 poor performances in a row, though only one seemed to really matter as we snuck a result out of the other one.

    Brentford - Poor - I really don't get why people thought that was a good point?
    Colchester - V.Good
    Wigan - Good
    Derby - Strong upfront, poor at the back.
    Huddersfield - V.Poor, but Lucky
    Derby - Poor

    Didn't go in as favourites, and agree we don't have the depth for a cup run at the moment. Have to say though, am a bit worried we wont fulfil the early promise of this season. Need a winger, and I'm not convinced George is up to it, despite his decent half last week

    Scenario 1 - our form in the first four games was a flash in the pan, we flattered to deceive, no reinforcements will arrive, we face another mediocre season at best.

    Scenario 2 - our goal is to challenge for the play offs at least, we have a much improved squad and a talented young manager, we gave some squad players a game tonight in a tournament which little more than a mild distraction. We will be back to full strength at Brighton and pass them off the park in a superb away victory. 2 or 3 quality additions to the squad will join within the week.

    My money's on scenario 2.

    I'm pretty sure there are more to follow, but then again I still have to see a team who has 80% top performances

    There we games last season where we never had 1 shot so tonight's 6 is quite reasonable?

    Possession and style are different.

    We can be organised, let teams play in front of us and then play fast passing football, be attractive and effective when we do get it.

    Tonight wasn't our strongest side and we played just one striker.

    We played a different team/formation against Derby at home, scored 3 and still had less possession.

    Think you are being over critical.

    Listening to the game, it did not sound at all like we played as badly as Saturday or badly in general.

    We got beaten 1-0 by a late goal from a team 10 days ago most fans would have predicted us laying down for on both occasions.
  • Never been strong in the League Cup, never going to win the competition so prefer to be out now rather than wasting our legs in some match where we could be battered by a Premier League side

    (Yes we could do a Milton Keynes Dons and beat the big team but see above we NEVER do well in the League Cup)

    Can bang on about all the chances that Derby had yet if they're gonna be that wasteful it'll hopefully continue on into the League and of all the stats being thrown about only two matter.

    Charlton Athletic... 5th
    Derby County... 7th

    Best bit about tonight... Allows the doom merchants (the we told you so's from Welling and Ebbsfleet) to come out of hiding for a few days

    I did expect 4-0 to them just check the prematch thread.

    most of us before the game were prophesying a loss, and we lost to a single goal in the last few minutes.
    let's hope that Bob can get 3 more decent players in this week.
  • Surprised there's not many of the usual it's only a crap cup competition glad were out of it ! Concentrate on the league etc etc just like all those up at stadium mk are saying now!

    Erm 2 in a row 3 overall that's 50% out of 6 performances.
    So?
    I've said never, 50% decent games is a good average to me.
    My team in Belgium has one good match in 6 or 7 games, I could get used to the idea of 50%, but then again Cercle is no top team...
