Entertaining game with plenty of good signs of the progress that is happening at our club. I'm not getting carried away but so far so good.

Fatalist Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 On the subject of "poor team", why has become fashionable for lesser clubs to pick a weakened line up when playing a club from a higher division? I can just about see the point for the better club using their squad, if they are still good enough to progress. But Plymouth yesterday were outclassed. They have just had a highly successful promotion season, a rare chance to test themselves against an old rival, a big and happy following, but they put out a side who were embarrassingly poor. Their fans highlight was singing "We've had a shot".Apparently Cambridge made 10 changes for their game against Rovers. I can't believe any player needs a rest after one league game, so why do it?

Another 1800 put in a 300 mile round trip on a Tuesday night and deserved better than what they got to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, cup competitions allow for smaller teams to face bigger ones, something they may never get to do in the league. It brings in money to those smaller teams, you get to tick off new grounds youve visited, I cant see why anyone would want to get shot of it.

Get rid off the pisspot trophy (and tell the Prem youth sides to do one) and make the league cup for Championship and below perhaps. Obviously wouldn't be able to keep the UEFA cup spot for the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 On 08/08/2017 at 15:10, 22A said: I see where you're coming from. Cambs Utd are away to the gas this evening. Their Manager has announced "I am rotating the squad as we have a long trip to Exeter on Saturday". Sounds like he's putting out their reserves at the Mem. Cambridge made NINE changes to the team that started on Saturday. At least three of the team were dubutants, so I hope Rovers don't think their result is "the start of the good times returning".
