Anyone still upset over team selection midweek....?

[Richy_Seagull]

I'll take the 3 points

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I guess Hughton got it right.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Yep, could of stuffed chelski in front of massive crowd

 

[Icy Gull]

Nope it was proof that we are not strong throughout the squad, we are currently still addressing that.

Midweek selection didn't make any difference to today's result.

Midweek selection - CH got it wrong and we lost.
Today's selection - excellent, did a job, so well done today, CH.

Great to be top of the league, but would be even better to still be in the cup.

What midweek team selection?



(don't need the Chelsea game anyway)

Jesus, here we go again. Odds would be bang against it being Chelsea if we were still in it. Yes, it was the same ball but the balls would have been moved about more due to the added length of time it takes to say Brighton & Hove Albion than Wallsall.

Thank you teacher - go and have a beer

The first one is half way down

Couldn't care less about a league cup game against Chelsea: we're not some little fourth division side who desperately needs the money and/or media attention. I would far rather have won today, it means so much more.

Besides. Chelsea aren't all that. Any shitty old side can beat them...

In fact it seems the shittier the better! I should feel pleased, but why did it have to be Palarse?

Ah, you see, thanks to our win, our glorious run of form, and the outrageous sense of optimism currently floating around Brighton & Hove Albion, I can't even say I'm that bothered about that result. If they have to beat anyone, it might as well be sulky Mourinho & his team of dull, overpaid tossers.

Where in the rules does it say when playing wallsall and Ipswich that you are only allowed to win one of the games?

 

[GT49er]

Wouldn't have been the same ball though, would it?

And people don't get it when i say we have become arrogant

It's not either/or. We could have had both.

It's not all about money and media attention though. When we look back at the 2008/09 season, we tend to think of the penalty shoot out win v man city. We don't remember how much money it brought us, or what the press said. We remember the elation, and the joy, we remember the on pitch celebrations (one in particular). Despite top prem sides not taking domestic cup competitions as seriously as in the past, the competitions can still provide lifelong memories.

2011/12 was our first season in our new home, and still, cup matches v Sunderland and Newcastle and even the loss to Liverpool still play a big part in memories of that season.

We could be sat top of the table, three points clear, eagerly anticipating a visit from the reigning Premier League Champions in beatable form.

You are such a lady ..Ma'am.

Lets give Walsall some credit. They are flying in div 1 and have run in four at Blackpool today. We would have beaten them with todays lineup but tuesday showed the cracks in the squad. The penalty miss turned the game and they took advantage.
A slight blip in an otherwise tremendous start. No dip in confidence within the squad. Good sign.

O'Grady played mid-week.....so yes I was upset.

This is it. They are a decent side, and beat us at home, after we had missed what would possibly have been a winning penalty. No shame there.
