Losing to a team that was in the confrence last year is a big worru

 

[somerset]

Yup. Barnes was superb, for one. LuaLua was poor.

How was that then?.... all I keep hearing about is Barnes missing sitters.....

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Why is when Casper plays we always lose

That's not entirely fair. We won the league with him in goal.

I imagine it is difficult to come in, such a crucial role, for the odd game.

I'm not saying he is faultless!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

REALLY??

I was telling the ***** who think all those off target shots are hitting the corner flags

 

[One Love]

3mins first half, 9 in the second.

Why?

That is all I ask?

Has there been a bad injury?

 

[BadFish]

Oscar out - Edinburgh in

 

[GoingUp]

But Casper was Ok in L1 and they are L2 - he should be able to cope with this

but hes not had regular football, so that makes him rusty and even more sh!t.

 

[Seagulltonian]

We lost our first two games last season.

Exactly this!

I'd much prefer a run in the FA Cup than the COC Cup any day of the week, and if this season unfolds the way last season did, there's still loads of twists and turns to come

Casper was SUPERB in League One. People have incredibly short memories.

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Christ. Palace are gonna love this

 

[terryberry1]

I want us to go out anyway. Shit cup

[Justice]

been saying that since the first year in the championship, we might of got playoffs if it wasnt for him, he cost us so many points that year, hes terrible at this level.

Very true Brez has always looked the better keeper IMO

 

[kevtherev]

Yup. Barnes was superb, for one. LuaLua was poor.

Please.....if he had taken a quarter of his chances, they would be in the ice baths by now. Barnes may do a lot to help the team out but as a striker he is poor. We will see in weeks to come, to be fair Oscar hasn't got much choice but to play him atm has he

 

[Dick Head]

Oh FFS!

 

[Ernest]

****ing disgrace

 

[casbom]

Should be an interesting team selection on Saturday! Although it sounds like Buckley's having a good game, the other positive is that Maxi is getting some game time which will help him on Sat.

Based on what Oscar has seen, I wonder how many new faces we can expect now?

 

[Mellotron]

How was that then?.... all I keep hearing about is Barnes missing sitters.....

All I hear about is Barnes scoring and creating countless chances for himself and others. He's missed ONE sitter from commentary. You'd rather a player who scored none ad created none than someone who scores but also misses?

 

[madinthehead]

bollox!

 

[Simster]

Gus must be having a little chuckle at our start this season?

3-1.
