Damn. Like we've been overawed by the occasion.

I think we would have still been in this, had it been 1-0 at half time, but 2 down, is a bridge too far I feel.

 

[mark82]

Was that as offside as it looked?

Nobody paying attention to the run then.

 

[David O'Day]

To.be expected they are a much better team than us

We are going to win this……just watch!

 

[Evo1883]

And I can't keep seeing Latibeaudiere like up for us , just shite

 

[Skyblue in Baku]

Booooooooooooo!

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

433 second half. At least it might make it more exciting.

 

[Liquid Gold]

That's one for all the mugs celebrating us playing against an international standard CB.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well lads, threw away the top 6 challenge to just timidly roll over anyway.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Looked to me he was on, just nobody picked him up.

Yeah, but it's the manner of the goals isn't it and the fact our ball retention has been so poor.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Been embarrassing tbh, don’t expect us to be on their level technically but the fight hasn’t been there at all. Newport put up more of a fight

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Obviously was always gonna be a likely loss but don't feel we've done ourselves justice this half.

Call me deluded but i think we have the players to hurt them going forward if we have a go.

Let's go down swinging second half.

 

[Tommo1993]

Never mind lovey

 

[skybluegod]

Exactly. If we played like we did against wolves and lost it would be fine. It's the lack of conviction today. The players are working hard but playing very much within themselves

 

[shmmeee]

GK and CBs have cost us this season. Just not good enough.

 

[Tommo1993]

Looks another game Wright isn’t up for. I will say that. Otherwise, meh.

Kitching just played him on

 

[covcity4life]

Half time at 1 nil woulda been ok but that's prob game over. Played too nervously. Not actually tried to win. Shame. Need to go 433 second half

 

[JPG77]

Haven't been good enough, with or without the ball. Had we got in at 1-0 maybe but 2-0 no chance, but prove me wrong Cov...go on

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just generally shown far too much respect

How thick are our fans you play to stay in the game
Second goal a killer
Mve having a great half
And sheaf others just not at the level unfortunately
Eccles should have shot but it was great play
Next goal hugely important
Still in this but have to play on the front foot now

 

[HadjiChippo]

Shame that Eccles cross for simms didn’t go in, completely different game then.

Only hope now is this lot take their foot off the pedal and let us back in

 

[shmmeee]

Go back to 4231 and give it a go at this point. Would rather lose 8-0 like that than 4-0 like this.

Team mentality is again a concern. Desperately need some leadership in in the summer.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck we have set up slightly wrong for me. Collins needs to be getting that ball out and testing them rather than fucking around at the back letting their slower players get back in to position. Nothing he could do for the 2nd goal but first for me ha has to do better with that cross. Fantastic cross from Eccles great defending otherwise it was 1-1 at the time

 

[larry_david]

Unfortunately we've let the occasion get to us.

We took the game to wolves on their patch and looked like the prem team.

I gota say I'm not enjoying the match at all but at 1-0 ht you got a chance to go and attack them. That goal kills everything

I'd honestly rather go get beat 4-0 and attack them that play out a dull 2-0.

Brilliant to get to the semi, we're winners here no matter what, so let's go out giving it a go

 

[Paul Anthony]

Honestly, never thought I'd say I'm disappointed by playing in a semi final, but we've really looked far too timid. No outlet, passing's been poor, sat too deep at times playing at a pace that's never really worked for us.

 

[TomRad85]

Go 4 at the back. Take Lati off asap

We’ve broken a few times then just passively waited to give the ball away. Shooooooot

 

[Paxman II]

Wrong tactics I feel. We are better with the ball and playing it on the ground. Play our football. We have set up to play so differently. Play our game now and we will improve. Get up in their faces, nigle at their ankles. We are sitting too deep.

 

[pusbccfc]

Miles better than us and every 50/50 went to United. Unfortunately you need those in these games.

 

[skybluegod]

Cost us??? We are in the semi final against Manchester United. What do you expect. It's over £100 million talent in their front 4. Not sure this is the game to be calling this out.

They are young and growing anyway.

That would have made for interesting TV for sure
