I’m going to put my head on the line and go with the ‘stick up for KR’ today.
I don’t think he did a lot wrong with the line up. A couple of tweaks but largely our best XI and with no game on Saturday a chance to really go for it. Why not stick a decent team out?
The defence that kept Pompey out went to pieces and experienced heads didn’t do their jobs. Even our normally reliable goalkeeper had a howler. We learned that Kashi and Carruthers aren’t match fit (we knew that already in all likelihood) and that Eastwood needs some recovery time. We also now know how good Whyte and Mousinho are when they aren’t in the side.
It’s a painful way to exit the trophy but it’s still the trophy regardless. I’m annoyed about it but the histrionics on here are something else. We beat Pompey at the weekend, folks!
No, it’s not the fact that it’s just the trophy at all. We had more or less the same team out as Saturday, so therefore you would expect a similar effort/performance.
Thats giving Kr and the players a hiding place.
No histrionics at all, it was as bad as anything I’ve seen this season, combined with the worst of clotet.
Sideways at the back, where the ball’s getting intercepted. No options when going forward, then no target man to aim for, when the ball was put into the box
