Did we play that badly? Walton was poor in goal. I reckon Collins saves at least two of those goals. Can't be easy coming in when its a no win cup game. If we win we were expected to, if we lose it's another nail in this season's coffin. If it was 4-1 at full time would we have been as distraught as we all are now after seeing the starting line up? Players who did well: Styles, Morris, Vita Players who had a mare: Walton, Adeboyejo and Kitching Cole scored a great goal but not much else. Brittain frustrating end product once again... On the positive side the players showed some backbone and never gave up. Carlton really led from the front.
No, because it would mean that we beat a League 2 side, down to 10 men for over half the match by 3 goals!!!!
Carlton Morris is probably the only one to come out of that looking good. Maybe Vita apart from his finishing, given it’s his first game for us. To concede 4 to a league 2 team down to 10 men is shocking. Granted 2 goals were very good strikes, the free kick in particular, but it’s still awful. Let’s hope we don’t draw City or any prem side for that matter in the next round. Man City would quite possibly get double figures.
We looked like a team who were trying very hard to beat a team they know they should beat, comfortably. Lots of effort, sometimes too much and not enough composure. We certainly didn't manage the game well when we were up 2-0 and they were down to 10 men. A win is still a win. It's a shame some would rather us have lost.
Absolutely zero positives from that performance. Infact it's pretty much told us that Poya isn't the answer and there is no point continuing with this inept manager.
On Vita, I agree he did well, but he was lacking composure. Possibly something that comes when he gets off the mark. There is definitely a player in there somewhere.
