    Must be photoshopped. Khaled has barred him from Oakwell for commenting on transfer policy.

    It wasn't Tranmere's second 11. I'm not entirely sure why people keeping saying it is. I think there's 3 who didn't feature regularly last season. There's way way way more experience and know-how in that tranmere team than there was in ours.

    Just as mixed as our team. Don’t paper over the cracks.

    Paper over what cracks? There's 3 players who didn't play very regular last season in that first 11. The rest played plenty of last season. Are we really trying this hard to berate our lads or? We're acting as though our fringe/youngsters are on the level of City & United when in reality they're not, nowhere near.

    Yeah exactly, its a shadow of what it used to be, when it was something that every team used to want to do well in.
    Although they were right to scrap the 2 legs and extra time, and regionalising it to North and South etc.
    But if we're going to take part in it, then I wish we'd play to our strengths and not pi*ss about rotating the squad etc. And yes I know it means there's a risk of injuries and suspensions but that's part and parcel of the game.

    Ah you’re a better fan because apparently you want us to win and apparently I’m not arsed. How could I have missed that!

    Of course I’m arsed. Im just realistic.

    Also I’m not sure how you could read from my post that I didn’t want us to win. But being as you did it’s probably best we leave it there because we are definitely not on the same page.

    Can we stop slagging each other off just because someone’s got a different opinion? It’s getting a bit boring to be honest.

    Not acting like a baby during and after an unimportant game that we drew is loser mentality now.

    ok.

    We should aim to win every match we play in and always choose our strongest team. Winning mentality is key to success.

    Are we sure we didn't sign him from a rugby club? Looked like he was kicking a conversion. ;)

    Trouble is the board want the fringe players to play so they have to use cup games.

    That kind of thinking is the problem not the solution.
