What message does that send to this year’s loanees? In any case he’s obviously just pissed off with the general situation
I've never understood why we ignore the league cup under Robins, but we have every year he's been here.This is true. We wee never real contenders.
Makes all the 'glad we're out' comments all the more bizarre. Yeah, forget a cup run, forget winning football matches, forget the potential for big occasions later in the competition, let's focus on the mid table Championship finish we all know we're heading for.
This is real competitive football. This is your chance to progress. You have to do better. Coming from a Prem Club isnt enough.
Anyway he didn't hang them out to dry. He admits they are young and inexperienced.
I think a a fair few fans have had unrealistic expectations around certain players popped (some loan some not).
I am not saying anybody isnt good enough. Just they need more time to find their feet and a bad performance or two doesn't make them useless.
Midtable is generousThis is true. We wee never real contenders.

What the f*** is going on here?
What was Wilson doing?

So what. We also have two semi finalsWe have a history of League Cup failure long before Robins. Mainly when we were a top flight club.
No. Got bullied by the bristol city players and went missing after he got kicked early on.Did Palmer show any signs of being ready to make an impact?
Then they need some first choice players sprinkled in to help. Not like these players had a game at the weekend to be tired from
Wilson, Dabo, Rose, Mcfadzean, Allen, Palmer and Walker have plenty of experience of first team football. There were 4 players who had an excuse re lack of experience. They should have competed better as a team in the first half hour.
Robins will have learnt a lot tonight .

It's 40 degrees on Saturday. Most of our players will be fresh. It's good managementRobins has rhe stitched the fans up tonight. whether you like it or not, that's the case. We'll have our better players without any match action for nearly 2 weeks on Saturday. Even giving them short stints spread out in this game would make sure we've not been completely out played. Fucking frustrating. Burroughs looks good but been isolated.....there's one positive!!
Of which he does every game home or away whether we win lose or drawRobins straight down the tunnel while the players come over to clap the fans.

That would be a good pre match press conferenceThe huge fucking hole in central midfield for 90 minutes.
They should really say before fans travel if there's no intention to win.
They've had a full pre season. Last thing they needed was a game 3 days before a league game in 37 degrees heatSeriously worried about Saturday. Senior players going into a game in 37 degree heat seriously under cooked. I can only assume there was a bcd friendly on Monday, because to leave them all out makes no sense.
I'm a big Robins fan, but I thought that team selection was very disrespectful to people who had gone to great efforts just to be there. People sat at home on their arse who are 'not bothered' can fuck off.
So you want the 1st team players to play more so the fringe players can play in the same games you are wanting the 1st team players to play in?Without this competition how are the players on the fringes supposed to push for a start? Training isn't enough. I get that most aren't arsed about the cup but for minutes in some who need it, seems like we do this every season.
Anyone hear Robins post match interview anywhere?
Synopsis?
You're welcome btw, not all that far offAll set for tonight. Leaving Manchester around 5 to try and get one of the parking spaces, get to a ground I haven't been to before, then a quick hop to Nottingham to regale my Dad with a tale of either a) how I wasted my time to drive 2 hours and see a bunch of U23s get pumped 4-0 by Bristol City or b) how I wasted my time to drive 2 hours and see a bunch of U23s draw 0-0 and lose on penalties
A level headed summary. Had to read that twice. ThanksIt's one game, nothing to get carried away over but I'd say Robin's has to shoulder much of the blame.
Too many new / young / inexperienced players, playing together. Eccles had some better moments second half but overall looked out of his depth. Put him in a stronger midfield, alongside Sheaf, Hamer, etc and he will have a better chance to improve.
Doyle had a shocker but considering we effectively had no midfield, a young player had no protection.
On that showing I don't blame any individual player, they were all poor.
