What disappointed me wasn’t the result, so much as the disrespect shown by Bob and the team to us fans that bothered to go and who were treated to a woeful, woeful performance.
I was so excited about attending our only London game this side of Xmas and was pretty p1ssed off at the end by how poor it was.
I don’t for one minute believe that a bunch of fringe and brand new players can’t play as a team. What they might lack in understanding and link up and the ability to stick to tactics can be overcome by pure passion and desire. None of them gave a 5h1t though (Macmanaman and Watson being the exceptions).
We should care about every competitive game we play in. Even if our priorities lie elsewhere, we should use the cups to try out the fringe players and other tactics – Tuesday night has just lost us 5 or 6 more games to experiment and keep players sharp.
