Credit to Hartlepool. They deserved it.But that had to be the worst performance of the season, including some of the dross we saw under Adkins.4

Off the top of my head, Washington, Matthews, Watson, Famewo, Pearce, Leko all poor tonight.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Exactly, wasn't far off the first XI.Dazzler21 said:Even if we win, there's a good number of these players that haven't done enough to keep their shirts tonight, but will because... Who else?0 -

Its pathetic though the reactionCroydon said:
What do you expect? The one chance this season had to redeem itself, and we've been outplayed by a team 16th in the league below us. This season has been a fucking shambles from start to finish and fans have every right to be angry.ForeverAddickted said:Yay... Here comes the childish abuse, for a competition no one wanted us to be in prior to the first game
Even more so when you look back at that first Group game
No one gives a shit about this competition, so dont pretend to suddenly care when we get somewhere - Either give a shit from the beginning, or not at all7 -
This team just can’t get going!No spark, no fight and seemingly no ‘team work’ - a lot of individuals tonight!Season has been over for weeks, but bloody frustrating…
sent the loans back (Leko is terrible, Lee off the boil etc) and just blood some youngsters!Instil some fucking pride into this team4 -
My first comment on our performance all night.
We are crap.
A strong team totally outplayed by a team in the league below.
With this team we are so far off mounting a promotion challenge next season it is embarrassing.3 -

All 3 home sides through so far tonight0

That just about sums our season up. Absolutely woeful. Just clear the decks and start again….again4
-
At least we can concentrate on the league now1

2 wins in 8 games and yet it's childish to actually want us to get better as a team?ForeverAddickted said:Yay... Here comes the childish abuse, for a competition no one wanted us to be in prior to the first game
- Bit like the England defeat against Italy... Lets keep it classy

A deserved win for Hartlepool, the better team. They played better football and had far more chances6

JJ said he's taking this competition seriously, he wanted to get through and play at Wembley, and yet our players put in a performance like that - getting dominated by a team 16th in the division below. That's what I'm pissed off about. I couldn't care less about the bloody trophy.ForeverAddickted said:

So many thick as shit players, Watson, Leko, Lee for staters.
As a team we simply can’t mark or find a decent forward pass. We are not a team we are a bunch of blokes that have been put together like they have never met before.
WTF is going on at our club9 -
We've been absolutely f**king dreadful in every game since Jackson got the job permanently, yes, we won Saturday, but we weren't exactly good then either.11
-
We're a fucking shambles, didn't deserve anything from that to be fair. Pathetic performance.
He wasn't the only bad player but Watson should never play for us again.
Knew it wouldn't be easy given Hartlepool's cup results this season but i at least expected us to put in a performance. Outplayed by a team in the bottom half of league 2 says it all.1 -
Awful performance. One of those where you think we need a major clear out. We were outplayed by a League Two outfit that had a few players who seemed better than ours. Can't think of any pluses from the game.4

Absolute embarrassment on the standard shown. Those so called professional players should give up their day job. Be honest with themselves and say that it would be better to make a honest living being a Plummer/sparky or whatever. I’ve seen better standard of football displayed on Hackney marshes on a cold Sunday morning! Its not the losing that pisses me off, but i do question what makes a professional footballer that can’t pass the ball, that cant be aware of players, that can’t be bothered to block shots, cant control a ball, just hoofs it up hoping for the best. As Madonna says, Papa don’t preach we’re in trouble boy (or something like that as Madonna is shyte too!).

Deserved win for Hartlepool. Poor performance from us again. Not sure Lee should’ve taken a penalty - came on as a late substitute and out of form.

But the same things were coming off for him earlier this season which tells you he is better than his current slump. His “level” perhaps lies between the two, but he’s better than this. Players go through spells like this, unfortunately.Dazzler21 said:
Because he's not as good as he or many of our fans think.Exiled_Addick said:Feel for Lee right now. No lack of effort form him but nothing is coming off for him.Glad we’re out to be honest. Snobbery or otherwise but being in the competition just rubs in what a shit level we are at right now. Sadly, we’re precisely where we deserve to be.2 -
I think that end of season contract for Jacko is about right.

We didn't give a shit at the start because it's a Mickey Mouse tournament, and we should have been aiming for top 6. The fact that this cup and a day out at Wembley has become so important shows you how useless this shower of shit are. We as a club shouldn't even be in this tournament, let alone clinging to it for hope of salvaging the season. That's where the anger comes from.ForeverAddickted said:

Complete clear out needed, this mob will never get us promoted. There is a reason the likes of Lee, Leko, CBT etc are at our club,
Because we only sign the leftovers the other clubs don’t want.7 -
It may be a shit cup competition that none of us care about, but, we do care about the performance.
More so when those are supposed to be top 6 league one quality players.7 -
Calling people wankers and c***s isnt childish? - ITS A GAME!!!!!!!SELR_addicks said:

He will develop himself right out of the door at the end of the season. If not the end of January.Valley11 said:Burstow continues to develop.That.Is.All.0 -
I’d send Leko and Lee back to their clubs. They have been pony for weeks.Hartleypete said:So many thick as shit players, Watson, Leko, Lee for staters.
