We'd have been better off playing skins here the amount of holding and short pulling the ref lets them get away with.

Scarles would be one of the first I'd hook. He was abysmal in that half
And has started this one just as poorly
Lucky not to be carded
Has Scarles shagged your sister or something FFS.

Ten changes for a potential banana skin of a game, don’t think anyone from the board room to the manager wants a cup run we’re just sitting back and waiting for them to score.
Right up there with the forest game under allardyce in my opinion

I feel like the back 3 is only there to accommodate so many changes. Feel like he wanted to give Mayers and scarles a start at the same time. 

I think it’s a bit weird because I’d would want to see how backup squad play in the same formation as the 1st team.

It looks like we had absolutely no game plan here at all, its like a first pre season training match,

why are we playing a back 5 against this dross?

why does areola keep rolling the ball 1 yard to killman ?

why is mavro the only player looking to pass the ball forwards when he is hands down the worst passer in the side?

Why would you not have bowen or soucek on the bench as get out of jail free cards for this exact situation?

feels like we are throwing this

That is disgraceful. The youngsters, including Lamadrid, look fucking shit. We won't see Kante again. Scarles too is a joke, looks like a 12 year old out there and is incapable of doing anything. I've backed Traore but send the cսnt back to Fulham.

Absolute shit, can only get better.

All i'm seeing is players I dont want starting v Bournemouth,  Liverpool or Fulham. The squad is paper thin. We cant risk jimmy, bowen or fernandes in this game.

i spose we'll nick it by a single goal, prob a penalty. We have enough at the back, and a quality goalie to snuff their efforts out.

Our weirdo manager has served up a serious portion of shit this afternoon. He went for it against QPR but now looks to be throwing this one. So much of what he does is just illogical.  
We’re odds on to go down so the cup is all we’ve got to play for.

Our first XI has consistently shown that it’s barely above championship level (and that’s being kind).

Hardly surprising that our second string + a few yoofs is struggling against a league one side is it…

He needs to get Myers off for Potts and Kante off for Orford at half time and go 4-5-1 FFS.

One of Mayers or Scarles needs to come off, they’re both doing the same job. Get another midfielder on.

preferably Scarles off, he’s been shocking.
