A loss tonight could work out to be a blessing. Our cup run contributed to our poor second half league campaign last season, so going out tonight means we'll so walk this league......right?....right? 

just a bit of gelling and fine tuning and we are there..... up that famous creek

[nebristolred]

I fear it may be a long season...

[Wanderingred]

I'm glad I didn't go, only to be spared having to watch the travelling Janners in their green and white wigs, celebrating a famous win. They despise us, they will be absolutely delighted.

are we in Europe yet? .. oh, hang on, sorry, one for the "Brexit" debate...

LJ will get as many windows as he wants. Hes fireproof anyway but even if he was treated like any other manager we are onnly 3 games in and hes giving fringe players a chance tonight.

If it starts working will you disappear again like last season, Glos Old Boy?

What is it including friendlies against professional teams?

Of course you can make a prediction, but posting ‘we are going to lose’ is not supporting anyone, certainly not our youngsters, yet you then call out others who are criticising young players....and, as per my question, why is it relevant that their keeper is ex-gas? Is that enough for you to write him off? Terry Cooper was ex gas when he came to us as our manager, and he worked miracles and is my fave City manager ever, never gave his ‘ex gas’ status a thought for a second...

wasnt writing him off.   I was commenting that he used to play for Rovers thats all.  

You having a bad evening mate?  

[Northern Red]

Normal League Cup service resumed then.

Not bothered about tonight. However, a win soon would be useful for the lads confidence.

Two tough games coming up..

Pretty much this.

22 shots for nil is poor, and would have been nice to see some of the players really step up.

LJ is prone to ‘runs’, not a panic just yet, but some warning signs.

[Kingswoodactor]

To make things worse Luke Steele just scored a pen 

[AberRed]

Probably the single worst finishing I've seen from a city team. Unbelievably bad

More of a greenhouse than a manager (sorry, head coach) then?

[Super]

Back to being an embarrassment in this competition. Pathetic.

[BobBobSuperBob]

Fumble fumble

I thought that width was more important...

[Abraham Romanovich]

Hands up who enjoyed the ride, well at least we were competitive.

 

[Major Isewater]

I don't know  how many changes Plymouth made for tonight but we made too many,

Disappointed, as I thought we needed to get a bit of momentum going . 

Our first team aren't so familiar with each other that they wouldn't have benefited from a hour together.

It's never good to lose any match .

Couldn’t give a monkeys about the Carabao but that’s the concern

How many million pound plus  players starting tonight .?

 

I make it five and that excludes Desilva 

[Midlands Robin]

I think the word I'm after is......

Bugger.

Ah well, someone elses turn for a glorious league cup run this season.

Nope, pretty good one thanks...yours can’t be going too well if ages ago you predicted ‘we are going to lose’ - doom and gloom! It’s all gone dark Johnny!

[westonred]

We are desperate for a championship quality striker we had enough chances tonight to get a hatfull but Taylor is not good enough and Eisa is one for the future. We must get someone in now

[cityexile]

Pretty rare, Forest beating Bury 10-9 on pens, having been ‘round the clock’ and players having to take a second.

No our shit January window was the sole reason for our poor second half of the season

Nope. Wrong. All the stars and planets are aligned and tonights result was the icing on the cake.....sit back and enjoy Saturday's result boys and girls.

I was correct again.  Although sometimes I hate being right, like tonight.
