On Drysdale, he went to for a header and the attacker nicked the ball away with his foot. A lot of the time the ref blows for a high foot in that situation. Admittedly Drysdale needed to react quicker and make sure he got a head to it and wasn’t close enough to him to start with.

Just thinking about MRs comments on waiting for loan signings. Think he said it’s out of his hands and if things don’t progress soon he needs to move onto a new target. Think he’s talking about the club agreeing a percentage wage contribution? Agents? Something else?

Was there any trouble after the game, as there was in our previous games against them? Some of them seemed intent all night

He's rubbish at attacking and appalling at defending yes. I'd rather chance it with one of our youngsters.

Last night was an opportunity to look at some of the fringe players and give minutes to others needing to improve their fitness
I'd preferred us to have won the game too but if we get a decent result at the weekend it will soon be forgotten
Although I only listened to the game on CWR it sounds as though some the fringe players didn't make the most of the chance they were given
I suppose the one small positive is that it seems no one picked up an injury

If you paid the money to go watch then all criticism is valid, some of this stuff going on is bonkers though, and Biamou is being talked about more than some of the people who actually played last night which is weird
Burroughs is on loan and Rowe potentially been sold. Not sure who would be after them?

We’ll get fuck all for beating Barnsley at the weekend. Better send the kids.

I get where you’re coming from but stick a business head on for a minute - the prize money and ticket sales (which most could have guessed roughly) probably wouldn’t have been sufficient to cover players’ appearance bonuses, let alone win bonuses. Maybe there is a business case for not committing full resource to it, as the first 2-3 rounds will likely generate losses.
Football isn’t strictly business, I am aware, but it’s not implausible that these things are considered.

ticket money? Big crowds if we'd have progressed?

To stretch a point, we make zero money from away games. The Barnsley game at the weekend will generate a loss. But we play it because the tournament as a whole is worth it.

I think someone said earlier in the thread the clubs only get 45% of ticket revenue

look at the crowds for it round the country..
It's a slight step up from the checkatrade nobody cares about it apart from the prem clubs .
The FA CUP generates smaller clubs alot of money in comparison

Yep, 45% to each club and 10% to the EFL.

But if we stay in the league and get our prize/TV money of c.£7m then each game has been worth around £150k. If you make the 4th round of the Carabao Cup (which probably isn’t far from our ceiling in the competition) you make £47k in total. It’s appalling.
In terms of wanting to see us compete in matches, I’m of the same mindset. But let’s not pretend that it may well be in a club’s interests financially to throw as little resource as possible at the competition.

I see Gruff has posted his review on YT, and I sense there is a theme developing here. The guy is a genius.

It's a real shame the team went out tonight. Cup runs ignite the fans imagination and there is no doubt the feel good factor for those who made the effort to attend will have been slightly dented by a frustrating night.
It's also money. We might need a quility loan in Jan from the premier league and will have no funds had we beaten Northampton and Wimbledon we could have drawn a top 10 prem team and that conservatively would have been worth upwards of 400k to the Club.
I see the case for resting McFaz but 10 changes was at least 4 too many.

After watching the game last night shows we haven't got a Championship squad and we were playing Northampton's reserves.

So I'm assuming that Luton and Bristol city don't have championship squads either .
OR
sometimes teams play shit
When Leeds lost to Crawley in the FA CUP last year did their fans say " We DoNt Have A PrEmiEr LeAgUe SqUaD "

Some times, how many times have we been knocked out in the FIRST round of the League Cup?
