Hate how cups are disrespected by new age football fans

Tell that to everybody here

You couldn't pay me to go to a league cup game. That's on you.

 

[Nick]

If he brings on Gyo and Hamer and they get injured you'd be fuming (even if we win 4-3)!

They might get injured in the next game or training.

 

[Tommo1993]

If Eccles is big enough for first team football then he’s big enough for justified criticism. Why is it so taboo?

Shut the fuck up then

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Tavares just unable to reach a tap in

 

[Liquid Gold]

Losing is one thing but just getting thrashed kicks morale

Hopefully it's a kick up the arse to do things right on Saturday.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

True enough - still wouldn't do it (especially now)

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Robins wants out of the dodgy shite cup, it’s all part of the plan

 

[ccfc1234]

Grendal planning on how he can blame Boddy after the game

We have a poor record at Burton and Boddy chose the ground for us to play at. All roads lead to Boddy surely!

 

[chiefdave]

Not sure I'd be rushing to bring anyone on at half time that we'd miss if they got injured. Why take the risk, we're not coming back in this game

 

[Briles]

Shut the fuck up then

You paid to go to a league cup game then complain the standard of one of our youngest players is shit.

Think about it

[kingfield park skyblues]

this game is about getting fitness levels back to speed, not about resting players

It's not taboo. People are entitled to their opinions.

Just as other people are entitled to call talk of him being a League Two player just a tad overreactionary.

Yeah? You would be there if we got a big draw at home though.

He's 22 ffs.

That's a compliment

Fewer potential games to play on the cabbage patch at the CBS

 

[Briles]

Wouldn't give a shit. It's a corporate bullshit competition. It's the kind of shit people skip on championship manager. FA Cup and league yes. Highest bidder interrupting the season bollocks, nah.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Robins always looks for an exit in this round, struggle to think when we last won one at this stage

 

[larry_david]

Eccles spent the whole of last season injured and when he did play, we played him out of position at rwb where tbf, he did well enough. He's not played at Coventry City in centre mid since the league 1 campaign. He was injured all of the summer and missed the first week of training.

Have we rushed him back?
Have we ruined him playing him out of position?
Has injury fucked his confidence
Is this just a shocking game where we're getting battered and he's the poorest if the lot.
I don't know, I'm not there but he's had more good games than shockers and MR rates him so I'll back him.

 

[Nick]

Tavares forces a save

 

[AStonesThrow]

So does Oscar Pistorius.

No he shoots better

 

[SkyblueDad]

Robins would love us to be out of this cup. He's said for months about the schedule before the break

It’s certainly never a priority can’t remember last time we had even a half decent run. Having said that 0-3 after half an hour is desperate,

He cant blame the pitch....feel sorry for those who went to this "home game" refund them tickets too

 

[wingy]

Twinkle toes from Tavares according to Oggy.

This is great for morale and getting the fans on side.

Well they should make it free entry next season instead

[Balli001]

Aderamola is the only positive

Going forward maybe not defensively. Him and Doyle have been poor

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Any more injuries and we’re fucked if this is our depth.

Exactly!

 

[Paxman II]

They all have the opportunity here to stake a claim for a place in the league side. So far many are failing in that regard.

 

[Nick]

So let's not play them ever or let them train.

OR we could get them match fit

 

[skybluegod]

Did he? When?

Short term? He's been here years

I wouldn't have the equivalent working for me.

Middlesborough, Southampton and the other game around that time he was good at RWB

What are you talking about? You are talking about dragging him off and ruining his confidence further when he's clearly needed at this moment in time. Not about the length of time he has been here.

It's funny because an elite football manager and coaches think he has something to offer. But of course the person who should never manage anybody if this is how they react after two bad performances says otherwise....

100% this. From a sporting perspective and also, we've just taken a big financial hit, progress here and we could redress that. People foaming at the mouth for us to lose this, sat on their arse at home watching emmerdale or some shite, fuck right off.
