I know its a sh1te competition but I am not sure if were suffering from a lack of confidence or talent or both but that was ruddy awful again. Too many performances like tonight are racking up. Dont want to join all the hysterical ones that inhabit the board when we lose but something clearly isnt right at the moment.

Biggest positive tonight, we're out of the competition.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Quoted from Madeleymariner
What have we learnt so far tonight :-
Maher should not play at right back again.
Hurst does not expect to use anyone but Michee at left back from now on this season.
Our centre forward is completely isolated as per.
Hunt can pass a ball but everything else passes him by
When Halliday plays at right back Eisa may as well be sat in the stands (look back a few weeks to the away game as well)
Bramwell looks like a decent prospect
Cartwrights positioning leaves a little to be desired.
How sad that when he brings  Gardner on later, he will also be left isolated up front

Oops sorry I am supposed to say, wow were doing really well with so many injuries and we are about to see a tactical masterclass by Hursty.

My mistake  he brings Gardner on as left winger and leaves our centre forward isolated as per
Brings back 11 players for corners despite still losing with 10mins to go.
Keep the red crosses coming as I know lots of you love watching shot football with shot tactics, tin pot trophy or not.

I'm sorry, I hate this comp in its current guise and the fact the EFL have sold their soul to the greed of the PL but whatever game town play in I expect some kind of performance.
Another game at home where our keeper is the busier of the 2 teams. Hurst put out a relatively strong team there yet Bradford outfought, outplayed and outwitted us.
At what point do say its not good enough?...we seem to be getting weaker and increasingly poor as each game passes. Somewhere the tactics, set up, information, are all wrong, and tonight I saw frustration creeping in with the players, first time it almost felt they lacked any kind of belief. I'm genuinely starting to worry that our confidence is getting shot to pieces and we'll struggle to turn it around.
Oh, and Cartwright is genuinely not an upgrade on Battersby, not a chance the lad will break through and threaten Eastwood.

That was the most disgraceful performance I have seen since Ragarse Rovers lost 12 -0 to Nunny Infants. Not one player deserves to be called a footballer. How Hurst can pick a team for Saturday out of the FIT squad on the books I'll never know. I am totally embarrassed.

I thought we were boycotting this competition so it's OK for the fans not to turn up but then moan when the players don't.

Biggest positive tonight is that we are utterly and totally shite. We have had shite served up to us all season and now it is time for our owners to do something about it.

It’s the general malaise that concerns me. Our form seems to fall down a hole at this time of every season. We have no discernible shape or formation and, seemingly, no leaders on the pitch.

I was genuinely enthused by most of our signings but we are genuinely getting worse.
