So what have we learnt tonight?

We should have taken Cardiff's money for Noone, he is not upto the championship consistantly.
Harley and Dicker are not good enough.
We don't win games when Vicente starts(however great he is),
All the possession in the world doesn't score you goals.
Playing one striker does not work, Barnes is not all that,
Cms is still the best striker at the club,
If we keep Bridge and Bruno fit we have got two great players.
El Abd should always start over Dunk everytime.

So nothing most of us didn't know already then,
Impressive you learnt about playing with one striker when we've played with none.

It's not a pre season match though is it?? It's a lucrative Cup competition shown on primetime TV, that can generate serious funds when you get to the 3rd round. If the players and the management don't give a toss about games like this, more fool them.

I agree, but its the same as the prem sides not caring about the Fa Cup and fielding reserves etc, I dont like it but its the way it is these days.

I would agree with that.

Still think we will have a good season if we bring in a centre forward and midfielder.

Crofts is the midfielder. Would have made a big difference, I think. Missing Buckley, Kaz, CMS etc. Hope we are a bit more potent on Saturday. Oh and El-Abd should start.

Spot on - and that di Canio is a great manager and has built a good team.

Going out of the cup isa the least of my concerns, it was the performance that worried me.

Look a different team away from home.

You should write that on a postcard and send it to the club

What's the point. Our manager has already told the rest of the league that we won't change nothing and we only play one way. It took the championship half a season to get used to us. The worry is, now they all know.

Your the prick. Been given more money than any other manager, worst away record in the league last year bar Coventry, utterly clueless when it comes to attackers, only knows how to play one type of football. Bring back Lloyd, Coppell, Slade, Mc Ghee - at least they know how to play attacking football & relegation form for most of 2012. SMELL THE COFFEE. Hull will maul us on Saturday

What a total bell end you are.
