striker Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Not unexpected. Have to remember we've got a lot of kids in the team and they have put a strong team out tonight. I'm not going to critique too much, but think we've mostly done ok. Nobody has let themselves down and still competing. At some point we've got to play younger players and this experience will stand them in good stead. Bar a bit of quality from them, it's been fairly even.

TheEnchanter Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Ultimately though I'd just rather save the players for the league. We are still 8 points behind the pack. If and when we have a 3-4 spell without a win which could happen to any team at any point in the Champ we could suddenly be well behind again. Honestly happy to get out of this cup and let some youngsters have a go. If it's an absolute disaster then it's not like any of the first team played to suddenly 'lose momentum' or 'lose morale'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borner terribly out of position time and time again. Moses our best player, with credit to Reach, Joey and FDB. Very impressed with FDB’s power and acceleration. Got to be knocking on the door. Out midfield looks orite tbf worst player on pitch dare I say borner. I've enjoyed watching pessy today been orite think he's learned a few things off bannan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give a monkey's chuff about the Carabao Cup. We've got zero chance of winning it, there's no money to be made from it, it's just a distraction from what is going to be an incredibly tough league season! Would love to hear Brian cloughs response to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hopefully we can keep it tight in the 2nd half, be great for one of the young lads to score for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the League Cup, its only value to us is giving game time to some of our younger players, the one's we'll no doubt have to call on as the season progresses. So many ways to look at it I guess, it's a successful manager that gets it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Would love Monk to say at full time he is hopeful we will have a few signings in before the weekend instead of the usual nothing imminent line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second goal though, he switches off because he expects if the cross does come over there’s no way it gets past Wildsmith, but I think Wildsmith gets his angles wrong too Waldock turned way too easy, Wildsmith angles wrong and Börner switching off... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I would’ve played Shaw and FDB from the start and brought Bannan and Iorfa into the starting 11 but it would’ve been more of a mix and match of sorts than tonight’s starting 11. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkstar Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Sounds like a decent performance so far on the whole just a lack of decisiveness in either box which is often the difference between levels. Can't knock Monk for giving the kids another chance, I think it's better to reward them for previous good performance rather than bin them off for the senior pros as soon as we come up against any decent team. Even if they do get caned it's a decent lesson for them and I doubt it would be detrimental to them long term at all, quite the opposite in fact. It also shields the first team from a similar caning which could be much more damaging to our league season which is the overwhelming priority this season in particular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with our limited resources. So much work to do in the league to try and be comfortable. I believe the players will give it their all but ultimately I still think we are a bottom 6 sort of side because of this deduction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
