Which midfielders are on the bench?

Ngandu is on there

[cc84cov]

Shipley cannot for the life of him miss the first man it’s just awful to watch,painful

 

[Nick]

Ngandu is on there

Not really going to do much.

Another shit corner from Shipley.

 

[Exit Stage Left]

According to Clive marosi is in goal

Prat

I remember the days when Clive would think Liam Kelly played in goal and Liam O"Brien was our holding midfielder.

I dont understand why they dont let Walsh have a go, cant do any worse and hes hardly an ariel threat

 

[cc84cov]

Give Bremang a run out for Bapaga at half time Kastanner into the number 10 role

 

[coop]

Shipley puts one hand up to say I'm not going to get past the first man

 

[Nick]

Biamou brings it down well and lays it off. Eccles just aimlessly bangs it forward without looking.

So wasteful.

Dave Bennett has summed up this game perfectly by saying he wished he had gone to a bonfire party rather then watch this........and he gets paid to be there!!!!!

No. Get kastaneer off and sack the c**t. He doesn't deserve a chance

 

[cc84cov]

Tell you what fellas Liam Kelly gets injured this season we are fucked these clowns are not fit to line up alongside him

 

[cc84cov]

No. Get kastaneer off and sack the c**t. He doesn't deserve a chance

Fair point Mr P lol

 

[Nick]

Drysdale gets taken out late after he kicks it. Ref wasn't even looking.

 

[ccfcway]

2.5 games gone.

Scored 0
Conceded 0

The glamour of the cup !!

 

[rob9872]

This is a crock of shit. I've seen 2 and a half games in this now tgis season and yet to see a goal!

 

[speedie87]

That was truly dire.

Passing is appalling- need to just go direct 2nd half.

Need something to aim for. We only have Biamou.

Midfield non existent.

Whatever the justification: giving young players a run out, rotating the squad, trying out new combinations; there cannot be any excuse for that first half. Eccles, Kastaneer, Walsh and Shipley have been abysmal. The tentative playing it around our area with passes across the box continues and has nearly cost us twice. Haven't even noticed Bapaga, so that saves him from the 'abysmal' category. Biamou a half-point above the others for having had a decent shot. McFadzean hasn't done anything wrong, at least.

Why is this happening for the third time this season? Does no one care?

Please don't anyone tell me those players just aren't good enough...

 

[ccfcway]

Not sure I can sit through another 45 mins then pens.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Maybe the lack of a decent crowd has an effect on the players.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Bring Bremang on at HT.

 

[ccfcway]

“Have a nice day” Is playing

Assume that’s ironic

 

[ccfcway]

Someone is coming on

Dabo for Watson

“does no one care?” I think that genuinely is part of it. They don’t want to be playing against Southampton u23’s in front of 500 fans. I can’t imagine Robins gee-ing them up, I don’t think he cares if we fizzle out of the competition.
I feel for the fans that have made that journey tonight (I couldn’t face it)

 

[Nick]

Dabo coming on .

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Not that he's had a great deal to do but Drysdale is the only real positive so far. He looks very comfortable and composed.

 

[BigadamL]

anyone got a link to watch? need to get to sleep

 

[ccfcway]

And wins the Callum davenport look a like competition

 

[ccfcway]

Dabo, mason, McFaz, Walsh, Shipley, kast, Biamou,

That’s 7 who are first team players, this isn’t a team of kids

 

[Nick]

Eccles wrestled to the ground, noting given.

Exactly this. Its a competition that's a hard sell at the best of times until you get close to Wembley. Then add in U23s that nobody wanted and a trek to Brum and its not hard to see why there's little interest from the players or fans.

Having said that you'd have thought there would be one or two going all out to push for a first team place.

 

[skybluebeduff]

Just dropping in to see if we're any closer to getting to Wembley? That's the only venue I want to visit for this cup...

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

BIAMOU'S (B)ON FIRE!

 

[ccfcway]

Biamou

 

[Grendel]

I can hear the roar of the crowd from my house
