Worthing_owl Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Before the league games have started, must be a record even for us!! Get a striker and we may not be too disappointed we went out and we can focus on getting out of this awful league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Don't like to lose however, got tp be all about the league. I look at it as one less chance to get players injured etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noleafclover Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Glad we're out of it tbh I couldn't care less about any of the cups this year, it's all about the league. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually glad we are out with the league,papajohns and fa cup still to come I’d rather have the players fit for the league not injured like today our focus is gelling the squad so cup games do help but I’d rather they crack on with the league Edited August 1, 2021 by stocksyuto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papalazarowl Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The "Cup Kings" got promoted the year they were out of the cups early... less games... less injuries.... before that they went to the 5th round etc and ran out of steam in the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I am disappointed about not winning but I don't care that we are no longer in the cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dykwim Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Let’s us concentrate on the league Seriously though, we were never going to win the cup were we? It’s a total unknown what this new bunch of players can achieve in this League, but that’s where our efforts should be concentrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think a few people may not be happy with how the league goes this season. We have a lot of new faces who are only just starting to gel it may take a season or two to get fully upto speed with it. as long as we keep strengthening and not stagnate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The Carabao cup is as tinpot as the pizza cup, we now have to play in. Both a waste of time. In the 30 years since we won it, has been devalued to an inconvenient, mostly reserves competition. Not bothered one bit about being out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Would’ve been nice to have won but if I’m being honest, I’m not overly bothered we are out of the cup. It’s so important we get promoted this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I don't think we have a deep enough squad to worry about the cups. If you have at least 20 first teamers then the cups can be good to keep game time up. But our squad is too thin for that at present. In a weird way, the Tin Pot trophy could be the most important to us this season. Hopefully give the fringe youngsters important game time.

At least we didn’t lose in 90 mins yesterday (if you pretend it’s like a normal league game) What worries me is that it obviously goes down as a loss yesterday, and we don’t want to get too used to that (like last season).

WAWAWUTO17 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Glad we are out. There's too many games this season. Priority is to get out of this league. Not to compete in a cup we can't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I’d rather do well in Papa John’s cup this season. We’ve already won the other 2 cups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My attitude is that when it comes to form you only look at 90 minutes. I get that this wasn't the final result but if it is the best indicator of form. Penalties don't say anything about form. So far this season we have had a draw against a team from the level above which is a good start. Just like last season we only managed a draw against League 2 opposition, despite winning on penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I didn't go to Hillsborough yesterday hoping we would lose but cant say I am too disappointed we have been knocked out. Watching the early rounds in midweek in front of low crowds can be a bit of a chore sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
