I want a cup run. We've got a big enough squad for it.

Always annoys me a cup game so early into the season. Fuck off

After yesterday's shit show, I don't hold out much hope for Tuesday. MR needs to look at changes to the line up.

I can’t see anything but a defeat. When was the last time we got through to the 2nd round?

Not fussed. Extra pre-season game in my eyes, a solid performance will do for me.

100% this. Even if we won yesterday I’d still hate this fixture. 2/3 days after the first league game is shit

League has to be priority

Odd to think that chucking games away is useful to be honest. Getting to round 2 or 3 has its uses before the fixtures become an inconvenience

Wouldn’t be at all gutted with a loss. Not interested in this competition whatsoever. Just don’t get slaughtered.

Dovin, Lati, Thomas, Kitching, Da Silva, Eccles, Torp, Allen, EMC, BTA, Tavares

Some players need the minutes to sharpen.

I am, but it won’t change my view. Getting embarrassed by AFC Wimbledon last August didn’t prove to be much use either

Weren't there a recent season when this was played the weekend before the start of season (covid perhaps)?

Better to go back to that.

Kind of a weird one this. If we'd won yesterday I'd be heading down hoping for a decent performance but ultimately losing. Now I don't want to start with 2 defeats, so hope we smash them and go out in round 2.

It is also a bit odd to be unhappy with the squad mentality while also wanting us to throw competitive games in August

Cup run would be useful to give different players minutes and maybe try different formations and partnerships

Hope we start with Allan and Torp in midfield, that way we won't have to put up with the same shit show on Friday.

The idea that players like Dovin, EMC, Torp, BTA and Wright wouldn’t benefit from playing some part is ridiculous ….

Why the hell would you play Wilson ? Dovin needs as much game time in English football as possible right now …. He was hardly rushed off his feet on Saturday ….

Play the weakest team , get knocked out and concentrate on the league. The sooner we are out of these cups the better . Less chance of any injuries.

To be fair I'm not too fussed about the result, I just want a performance.
That performance against Stoke was as flaccid as we were towards the end of last season, cup aside.
Another showing like that on Tuesday and I'll be slightly worried.

I want us to win whenever we are playing. Back to back defeats is no way to start a season. Hopefully will get one or two strikers up and running. I think BTA may start.
