City Exile Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Always disappointed when we lose.However, the next best thing unless you are going to win it is to go out early. If you went - 5 goals, hopefully no injuries.In the time honoured fashion 'we can now concentrate on the league'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man In Black Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Of course I'm disappointed we're out, but look at the big picture, the league is MUCH more important.So I'll just say what we all say in moments like these...

Guest Stafford Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 It is all too easy to pretend it doesn't matter in front of 1000 or so fans at Underhill but the LDV is a major trophy - and source of revenue - for clubs like City who have a realistic chance of lifting the Trophy. From a morale perspective, we should not be losing to the likes of Barnet either. Bottom line is, tonight was a very poor result. It will do nothing to entice the casual supporter - such as myself - back to Ashton Gate. City should be beating temas like Barnet for fun - just look at the relative support and resource base. Can we be honest - tonight's result was very poor - an acute embarrassment. LDV - FA Cup - Carling Cup - League 1 - they all matter. Another dysmal chapter in the recent history of BCFC.

And don't forget that we don't have an instant right to beat a team just because they're a league below us.Besides, I'd prefer we get out of this league and not have to compete in this competition.Except the year we won it.Should have given us qualification for Europe. we were cheated out of what was rightfully ours. Its all a farce.I know what you mean.Though seriously, even when we won it I had the same opinion - my only hope was that it would spur us on to promotion through the morale boost... that didn't happen though, did it?

Bristol Boy Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 FEW POINTSThe League is far more important.The Money Would be Nice.......but it's only real dosh if you make the final.So, the important bit is, don't get any bookings, avoid injuries and, if you're not going to make the final, get knocked out in the first round.We can now, in time honoured fashion, concentrate on the league and, let's face it, we could make more money out of 2-3 rounds of the FA Cup, than winning the LDV.Partridge, Brooker, Orr & Brown will be back for Saturday-add Russell & Heywood to that starting line up and we've got a strong enough team.Looking at the squad, as I've posted elsewhere and there's some work to do on loan and in January if we're to become serious Promotion candidates.

Guest billybob Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Should be beating teams like Barnet for fun. The LDV is important for revenue and a good day out if you get to the Final. This confirms, again, that Tinnion has taken this club back 5 years in development. Concentrate on the league my a***. We'll be lucky to stay up.

With every respect I agree with you. But losing to Barnet is not good. We seem to be blaming our Defence and yes we do have (arguably) better in the wings. Howeever, I do not see any accountability for the strikers and attacking midfield. We have repaced some Defenders but if the forwards don't starting getting goals soon we are nowhere. Am I panicking?

We were also punished when some of our defenders made mistakes. Fortune and Woodman are clearly not players who will be 1st choice in the future. Carey was also at fault.

Get everyone back, get in a left side and we will be sorted but that is going to take time.I agree with your thoughts Alex but there was little difference in the scoring stats between Barnet and us. Sure we can tighten the Defence but can we at least agree that someone needs to get the forwards scoring or at least more shots on target than our opponents, especially at lower divisions.

Guest RoryFice Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 It's good and its bad that we are out.The bad is that Barnet have beaten us again, and it does mean we're unlikely to win a trophy this season, even a silly one like the LDV VansThe good is that we can now concentrate on moving up the league, which we will!

Atticus Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 don't start this crap again huh? I'm sorry but it is dissapointing that we lost, and lost to BARNET again. A game is a game, and if you don't care about this game because its ldv then your not the greatest supporter. LDV's is a nothing/injury risk cup if you ask me. Sorry but no. This cup earns alot of money for the winner for a team in our league, something Swindon would surely need right?

REDOXO Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Mr Johnson obviously thinks the LDV does matter....Or thinks.. to be more precise.. we can't out score and out defend the likes of Barnet...that matters.....With all the strikers on our books the official propaganda site says he is looking for a forward.....Oh dear oh dear GJ has only been here three weeks and has already worked out we are a bit of a retirement home for old disabled or just un-commited footballers...Two Full backs in already and a striker to come...what next a winning team that spends less time spending my money in the pub or the bookie.... who knows....Maybe the arrival of Saint Marcus and his mate and a bevvy of mediocre others deluded us a little into thinking we might do something this season... But it seems to me this guy has no dilusions or illusions about what we've got and who we are....Up this season doubtful but this guy takes no prisoners and you can't knock him for that.

Guest annanimo Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Personally I'm not bothered, the leauge is much much much more important.yes, you're right.The LDV isn't the most glamourous of competitions.But all the same it would have been better if we could have put some sort of run together. might have done team confidence a bit of good, especially if we got to the final which I'm sure we were capable of.But as you say the league is our number one priority at the moment.
