I suppose it’s the shock and surprise of being knocked out in the early round of a cup that’s such the disappointment for us...
With no screenings on offer, very interested in the views of those at the game tonight so please do share your thoughts on the players and performance

Really hope the club breaks the apathy/ hoo doo towards cup games. Seems an accepted forgone conclusion from the off and shouldn't be like that. Just give the cups a good go with strongest teams as there is no evidence that not doing so has any benefit for us in the league going on past years.
Listened to the game so can't comment on the performance, but it sounded like a typical cup defeat.
Really need positive news about signings ASAP.

No positives I’m afraid.
Sums up how the majority of fans feel about the competition.
On to Saturday
Adkins first 10
Scorers /Assisters in Adkins first 10.
In the 4 games Stockley scored in, 3 were as the one up top in a 4-3-3. The other was against AFC in a 4-4-2 alongside... Washington.
Both of Stockley's assists came in 4-3-3's too.
It’s the League Cup, Adkins stuck the youth out other than a couple of first teamers, we’ve got bigger battles ahead - we do need more players & Adkins/Gallen/Sandgaard are aware of this so let’s get things into perspective before we start losing our minds
Know what you mean. Whilst not a catastrophe or panic stations feels like we are in pre season mode still with eyes on the remaining transfer window.
1. Morgan and Clare, our first team creative players, both looked inadequate.
2. Other than Elewere, none of the young players looked remotely close to being first team. Davison might be 4th or 5th striker, the rest looked completely out of their depth.
3. We created nothing all game except one ball over the top led to our only shot on target. I make that 1 in 180 minutes if football so far.
This squad needs 5 or 6 quality players, not just squad members, to make a challenge this season. If Sandgaard thinks Adkins can do it through 'self sufficiency', which I have heard he has said, then dream on Tommy.
Or was one a concussion sub?
