To be fair, it was only one game. Freak result IMO, not a lot anyone can do about it, time to move on and how we react is more important that how and why we lost. 3 points at home to West Ham will consign this result to where it belongs - the history books. Howay the lads.
The freak result came at Spurs. That should really have been the same.

"I could easily go out and buy a couple of defenders who are the wrong side of 30, but that's the road to nowhere" - Roeder today.
What a pleb.
-
At least we won't get to the latter stages as usual, build our hopes up once one or two more big clubs get knocked out, and then have them flattened when we get an away trip to Arsenal or Chelsea in the last 16 or last 8.

Are Parma out of the UEFA Cup?
-
Actually agree there. How many (if any) of them have produced a performance that's made you think, "Wow, he should be a regular even when XXXX comes back from injury."?
-
He won't...but neither will Carroll, Pattison or O'Brien.
-
Hmm, I'd sooner get thumped off a team much better than us, than hammered off a side in a lower league!
-
Tbh, we should have in all honestly been thumped on Sunday too.

If he gives the slightest shit about the fans, they should all get feckin refunds for going along tonight. Poor sods. I was gonna take me dad: Christ, it might've killed him.
My dad took the neighbours' 9 year old son tonight.
What a great memory he will have of his first ever match.
-
I've never laughed at a goal being conceded, but I did literally laugh when the 5th went in. Was pathetic.

Given
Solano Ramage Huntington Edgar
Milner Butt Emre Luque
Dyer Martins
If Luque isn't leaving in this window, few could argue he should be getting games when we clearly have nobody better.
But, but...THE YOUNG LADS TRY HARD IN TRAINING?!!!111

My pre-match prediction of 1-1 with us losing on penalties is just a distant pipe dream.
-
Yeah, 10 minutes where you'd have thought a local lad on his home debut would have been bursting a gut to impress. He didn't. He jogged around for 10 minutes.
-
How's it "fact"?! I saw him mope around for 10 minutes but didn't close down, didn't win one ball which came upto him. People are quick enough to write-off big money signings within 10-15 minutes so why can't I say Carroll will be lucky to make it as a League Two striker after the same time?
-
To me Huntington just looks a pretty boy. Always gets outmuscled, doesn't put his body on the line, distribution is sh*t. Even at 19, he should have those 3 basic things.
-
As for the Luque factor, what have Pattison & O'Brien done the last 3 games that Luque didn't? And Carroll looked the spitting double of him, just jogging around looking like he was closing the defenders down with minimal effort for 10 minutes. I'm now round to the fact he's been sh*t for us and will be a failure, but people who'd still sooner have Pattison, O'Brien or Carroll ahead of him want to f*cking look at themselves tbh.
-
Not if you read what most people tell you on here.
-
Will get slated, but thank f*ck Bramble & Babayaro are nearly back. Crap, but still better than Ramage & Huntington.
-
This game reminds me of the Villa 4-1 from 2 years ago but without the fisty cuffs. Fans were starting to get behind the manager at the time after an impressive run (think it was 1 defeat in 12 or something before that Villa match), then bang, reality check.
Wasn't that Fulham?
The Fulham 4-1 was when Crossley had a blinder, although I think the Villa match was 0-3.
That's the one. The Fulham one was just a freak result. We battered them. The Villa one is what I meant.
-
As with the Villa 0-3 from 2 years ago, this for me is the reality check.
-
I can never remember them playing as poorly as that. Solano & Huntington have done a job, but the fact we've been scoring goals has hidden the fact we've been leaking them for fun.
-
But for some reason people would still sooner them ahead of those two.

And over a run of 10-15 games, no way in the f*ck are Solano & Huntington better full-backs than Carr & Babayaro. 16 goals conceded in our last 6 games. What a joke.
So we sack Roeder then...

If it's a write-off, then surely it's better to replace Glenn this season, let the new manager come in sharpish, see who the crap is, see who he likes, then he has a full summer to do what he wants.
