    they had a report & all 8 goals (I don't think i'll every type that again in my life) on the SE lunchtime news.

    Stevenson's 2nd was not a rocket (groan) but an excellent strike - not many of our senior players can execute a shot that well.

    His first was a great move - some great one touch passing & again he finished expertly. Someone show this to Grant please.

    His hat trick goal - I think their GK would have been lynched if he'd saved it.

    Record win? Is it?

    Since when did we count anything other than first team games? This competition hasn't been great for a while, but when they started allowing reserve teams in it lost its "first team" status as far as I'm concerned.

    However, well done the fellas that played anyway.

    Our two best strikes of the season have been by infant left-backs in the Checkatrade

    Its a First Team competition for League One and League Two teams which played last night though

    Can understand your sentiments had it been a win over Swansea City

    Its a record win in a first team competitive game and has been recognised as such by the club & the museum, so probably so since then I guess, oh and I was there so properly smug.

    True but teams make similar wholesale changes for FA Cup and League Cup games. Yet they are still considered, rightly, as first team competitions.

    If this had been against one of the U21 sides, would this still have counted as a record?

    As far as I know for us yes, if it was an u21 side then no (for the first teams record).

    It's a brief ray of sunshine in an otherwise shit storm under Roland.

    Just accept it was a fantastic scoreline no matter what and do away with your negativity.

    Slightly harsh on Ajose re the penalty. From the footage I saw he went over and congratulated Stevenson. No problem at all with a striker being disappointed at not being able to score a goal.

    Was at the game.

    Sadly, immediately after Stevenson scored the penalty, Ajose quite clearly went up to Pratley and had a moan that Stevenson was allowed to take the kick!! In his defence, he did congratulate Stevenson when he was subbed though. Definitely a superiority complex going on there with Ajose in my opinion. Which would be fine of course if he was really very good! Had a good game though (as did everyone), against very mediocre opposition.

    The thing that pleased me was Toby said Ajose told him to take the penalty, I assume Ajose was going to take them on the night, and the fact he had already scored two goals himself. he has gone up in my estimation

    He scored one, if he had been on a hat trick he would have taken it for sure.

    Not having it. Ajose went nowhere near Stevenson before the kick was taken.

    Sorry, wrong again, must tell myself to check facts first before writing on here, go to corner and keep quite until spoken to. Perhaps Ajose is not as nice a fella as I thought

    Yes I understand that but it's as devalued a competition as anything with u-21 sides in it and I , personally , see it as an insult to our history that this result in this joke of a competition will now mean we have this as our record victory as opposed to a top flight 8-1 win over middlesbrough against a second string league two side

    I wasn’t around in 1953 and neither was my son and we were last night, so it absolute does count in my eyes !

    In fact I’m getting 5000 T-Shirts printed to sell , saying - “I was there to see the 8-0 “

    The reason for the success at Stevenage? LB Roland has had the team on a special reduced diet and last night they ate nothing ....

    Just to be clear - ate nothing = 8-0

    We've been starved so long of a result like that.

    I seem to recall we beat Apoel Nicosia 9-0 in a friendly at The Valley. (I’ll await the comments of “not a proper game” whereas, of course, playing Stevenage under 9s is) :smile:

    I don’t want to devalue the other night but I’m with oohaah here. How can a competition that includes U23 teams from sides in other leagues be taken seriously? Even Stevenage made nine changes to their line up. It’s a farce. Nothing more than a friendly in my eyes. Results etc should not go in the record book in my opinion.

    Most Cup games have become a farce in that teams rarely put out full strength sides - applies to FA Cup, League Cup and the Checkatrade.

    fuck me too many doom and gloom on here, yes i wasn't bothered about the game at all really. Although when i heard the result i was pleased, records aside its a great result no matter who we played.

    Take it for what it is, although stupid comp/ reserve players we won 8-0nil. Its still classed as competitive game so be it.

    Wonder what the score would have been with our first team :wink:
