Sadly Darren the League Cup is dead. Personally I think it needs to be scrapped, its becoming an embarrassment to the game.

Hucks, the League Cup has long been held in contempt by many a club and Manager, this just illustrates it all the more...

Funny how the "big" clubs do their level best not to be interested or committed to it, until, by accident, they find themselves in the final, then its the chance for a bit of a jolly and they then want to win it!

I agree it''s disrespectful, but justice was done in the end, an extra time defeat is the last result he would have wanted!

[/quote]Id argue that its time the League cup should not include the Premiership teams (And therefore scrap the JPT) - Or get rid of teams who play in Europe.Its annoying that the big premier league teams dont take it that seriously, yet through the purchase of so many players to add to their huge squads you know they are the only ones who have a shot at winning it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Football_League_Cup_winners

Thanks Darren. No one is kidding themselves when we say we have a very long way to go to reach the Premier League with this caliber of teams week in, week out, but it''s good to see we did not disgrace ourselves, especially when playing some of our current reserves players from the start.

[quote user="hucksdh6.co.uk"]How can a manager not be at a first team game,a total disrespect of MK Dons, Blackpool have been in top flight for 2 games, would he have done that at Plymouth ?[/quote]Totally agree, I would assume that a massive fine from the FA will be coming his way.

Now that sounds like a good argument. I''m with you there.

Despite the changes i thought we held or own at times. We passed it around nicely, and created a few good chances, only 2 excellent saves by Bunn from a Ward header and a Hughes volley kept our score to 1. Thought Ward did brilliantly again, and i thought Mcnamee caused their defence all sorts of problems when he came on. Never seen a team win so many headers in 1 match. Every corner they had they won the resulting header, every long throw in from Pedersen they won the resulting header. Their whole team were giants, and it was obvious they were managed by Allardyce. All 3 goals came from headers or as a result of a header being saved by Rudd, and Diouf following in.

I''d love to see it mixed with the JPT, you could even invite some of the Scottish teams over to compete if travel wasn''t too much of an issue. Would make for a much more interesting cup IMO

Trent - spot on! Plus considering the Champioship is something like the 4th best supported league in Europe why the hell not have a Euro spot for the winner? I do know I am living in cloud cooko land here (and that the Euro league is also in real terms a micky mouse competition anyway) but the power held by the Premier league sickens me.
