Somewhat reminds of the reaction to the Chelsea game on the Chelsea forums.
I think myself lucky that a few problems have been exposed against Swindon in the League Cup pre-season.
I love the FA Cup but honestly can stand this competition, it's a cup too far. Very very rarely attend it.
I'd dump it and beef up the FA Cup so it generates more money for lower league clubs but that's another story.
Swindon won't win it and neither would we have.

Poyet really doesn't give a shit judging by this interview. He actually looks happy.
We need more free kicks like that in the game. Too often it's a shot, or a cross. All teams need planned routines
Greer was turned far too easily and then just laid down for that second goal, it was embarrassing.
I see people picking up on his final ball, but where has Noone's pace gone?
Where has our ability to defend gone?
I'm not convinced with vicente as a forward
We're constantly outnumbered in the Swindon box. No chance of getting the ball to one of our players.
I said yesterday I had the impression the cups were going to be treated as they were the season we won league 1. I was surprised by the start for Kuszczak, and bruno, bridge I can see for extra game time, so the team was slightly stronger than I expected, but it didn't seem like a team that was our strongest, even accounting for injuries and absences. As such, while I'm disappointed by the defeat, and the completely confused and light weight nature of our defence, and the toothlessness of our attack, I'm not too concerned about this result in respect to our chances for the league this year.
Worst away record bar Coventry? No.
We won 6 and drew 7 for 25 away points
Ipswich 6,7 for 25
Palace 6,6 for 24
Peterborough 3,8 for 17
Bristol 5,7 for 22
Barnsley 4,5 for 17 points
Portsmouth 3,6 for 15 points
Coventry 1,6 for 9 points
Doncaster 4,4 for 16 points
You are confusing "scoring fewest away goals" which is what Coventry were worse at than us.

Don't worry about it.
We won't come up against a side like Swindon every week.

For all we know TB has told Gus not to f*** about with the tinpot cup matches and concentrate solely on the league. It will be a completely different attitude on Saturday when the serious business begins.

When i said "we would lose because i didnt make the thread" on Page 1 - i didnt actually mean it !!!
But yeah, we need a new thread maker, BBBW has had 2 poor defeats in his last 5 topics (6-0 West Spam was the other).

That seriously wasn't very good. Lets hope our forward play improves not looking good for Hull

Only one thing on his mind this season - the prem but if we had won I'm sure his reaction would have been that this cup is good for the team and fans etc
That's what's worrying me.

We are Brighton & Hove Albion, not Barcelona. I really think some people struggle to remember this when setting out their idea of what our expectations ought to be.
However many millions we had to spend, whatever our average attendance was, 10th place in the toughest and most competitive league in the country in our first season back in said leagye is a far better achievement than you are making it out to be, and to write off all the progress we have made under Gus on the basis of one shitty League Cup defeat is short-sightedness at its most extreme. We will not win every game, we will not play perfectly every time out - this does not make us shit, nor our manager untalented, it makes us just like every other football team on this planet.
Were we poor tonight? Yes we were. We also had nearly half a first team, including two key creative players, missing from the lineup. Had we had those 5 players (Crofts, CMS, KLL, Buckley, El Abd) on the pitch, would the result have been different? Yes, it probably would have.
Have lessons been learnt from last season's shortcomings? Of course they have, just because they were not in evidence tonight (against, to give them their due, a good Swindon side who should do well in League One this season) does not mean they have not been learnt.
Perhaps you're the one who is too easily forgetting where this club has come from in a bloody short space of time.

No sports (or any people) people should display any passion, emotion or personality. It is just showing off you know and may if continued make sport too interesting for the dullard trainspotting fan.

People can be pissed off with a turgid performance, it hurts.
Most of realise in the grand scheme of things it does'nt matter to much but it still HURTS watching us look like a pub team on TV.
