Bradwell canary 109 Posted January 9 Why, not because I wish us to focus on the league, that us has gone. I want us to avoid being total thrashed and shown up for how far we have fallen. Watching Liverpool recently I just dread to think what would happen. Even with their second eleven playing us. But truthfully Bristol deserve their day in the sun, after they showed us up! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan Edwards 2,237 Posted January 9 As soon as we’re Mathematically safe, we should forfeit the remainder of our games because it’s just so embarrassing. God, what if we struggle to get the points and have to play all our games? Has anybody got a paper bag? Im hyperventilating… 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rottingdean canary 117 Posted January 9 I hope we get through as playing Liverpool is an exciting prospect (for me) however it might turn out. But I suspect the Bristol Rovers players are more keen on it than ours and that might determine the outcome of the replay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im hyperventilating… I remember trying to get one of the players shirts at Charlton to chuck it back at him , the good old days under Gunny. I think we are ok this year , but maybe next after we sell Sara and Rowe , then bring back Tettey and Pinto. Who knows Alan Lee may want another crack at it.

Examples of quotes from the same kind of fan. I echo the sentiment, it's embarrassing around here at the moment Of course we should try and beat Rovers and then go and give Liverpool a go. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,537 Posted January 9 This follows the nonsense of hoping Southampton thrash us which followed the pantweetting about the binners game. The whole thing is now about the match needing to fit the narrative. Whinge all week and hope to lose. Perhaps that's something that's come since football was something you watch rather than something you do. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we certainly need the money generated from a game at Anfield , so I expect us to put out a full strength squad in the replay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was the solution but DW obviously over estimated the squad quality. We didn't. He didn't even have quality players on the bench to change the game if needed.

He didn't even have quality players on the bench to change the game if needed. DW and others have made this club look so pathetic I mean, he may have talked once or twice about squad rotation and the need for it. I would say that putting out a better side would have been preferable, but Wagner isn't a total dunce and he's not alone in the coaching team. Players do need rest and need to recover from niggles to do their best in the league games (whether they're good enough for us fans is a different matter). Questions of this nature do make it look like fans expect a full strength team of the best (their favourite) players all season long, which just isn't realistic Yes it shows the lack of depth to our squad, but it is what it is - playing maxed out players or those not at peak is just asking for injuries 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect you have seen umpteen ups and downs, Many on here have not and delude themselves that we have a right to be in the PL as do similar glory hunters at Swansea, Boro, WBA, Hull, Blackburn, Bolton, Cardiff Wigan, Birmingham, Stoke, QPR, Watford I wonder what the unifying factor there is. Lack of ambition, or seeing their income more than halved since their parachute payments dried up. The answer I would suggest defines whether you are a supporter or a whiner. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,237 Posted January 9 Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Had Wagner not weakened the midfield so much and played one of Sara or Nunez then we would probably have beaten BRR done and dusted. As it stands we now have a potentially lucrative (by our standards) tie next round with the replay sandwiched between 2 tough league games. He really needs to field a full strength team in the replay and risk the consequences imo as at the end of the day we should be trying to win every game, having a run in the cup and pushing for the play-offs. Hwang being returned today means 3 hard games in 8 days relying on Sargent returning to fitness, a rather lack lustre Barnes and Idah blowing hot and cold. An interesting week for Wagner coming up, but he's been in a make or break situation before and still clings on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
