Not buying it one bit.

We have hardly just slung on a load of youth players. RoD, Pack, Little, Reid, etc are in the first team squad, sometimes they play, sometimes they dont.

I think LJ picked a team he thought had a chance, while rotating. If I was going to quibble, I would always keep the back line together if I can, as more than anywhere they get to know eachothers roles.

The team he picked should have been capable of dealing with the two goals conceeded. Lesson learned.

What do we have to do to get a penalty. bet he would have given our two shouts to Hull. !!!

Cant do both

Words to that effect on the website might have saved a few people the trouble of turning up. 

They can look forward to crap attendances for cup games for years to come.

No, but a place in the quarter finals would have been welcome.

As I said it in a previous post I want that too of course but I'm sprinkling a little realism

Do you believe that we couldnt have had some great memories of perhaps reaching a semi final or final? Some fantastic publicity? A great buzz around the club? You are the ying to my yang tonight, I disagree completely with your opinion.

Would love it...I'm just being realistic 

[Northern Red]

This team is no weaker than the ones that got through the last 2 rounds. And some are talking like it was a dead cert that our 'strongest' XI would have got through.

Fair weather fans...isn't that the realm of the Sag?

[stawey]

look at the bigger picture

[iamalagerdrinker]

I'd rather have the three points we got Saturday and hopefully another 3 Saturday against Barnsley which is a verge winnable game then get through tonight

No. If the club aren't prepared to commit to the game then why would fans do the same?

If everyone at the club though that then what's the point of getting through the 1st round, might as well not have bothered.

@Bristol Rob I've had the radio tuned to find we're 2-0 down....they are currently searching for episodes of Lovejoy for me now instead

It seems the competition is there to blood youngsters and to provide practice time for others. Not exactly the basis of a competition. 

[Northern Red]

Of those complaining about the club not taking it seriously, how many are not at the game yet could easily have gone if they'd really wanted to? 

[cityexile]

My guess is LJ will not be happy with this.

Slings it in the 'reasons I hate Hull' pile.

[bristolcitysweden]

Crowd announced or are they still counting?

Have another look at the team...plenty in there with game time this season and LJ clearly believed that they were capable of the challenge. 

Hardly a capitulation is it?

Exactly. Just a pointless cup run.

Do you think the two Manchester clubs will be doing that?

Not me. I worked until 7pm, and I am over 120 miles away.

We all have to do it though. Maybe mix up your brushing technique a bit to make it more exciting?

[bristolcitysweden]

They left 7 out as well

2,352. They'll be glad they saved their money, given it was just a run-out for the club. 

I should add - I've no issue with what they've done, so long as they let fans know about it in advance. 

[stawey]

good test for this group might well pay dividens in the future

Probably not. But Liverpool and spurs have.
