Again, left feeling sorry for the academy lads having to endure their first starts surrounded by struggling squad players and a make-shift system.
It's such a big ask for them to shine and stake the proverbial claim in such circumstances. It's almost like it's left to them to elevate the likes of Wanyama, Dier, Dele, Davies who for one reason or another have barely played themselves.

Fucking brick wall that stops both teams.
I'm personally afflicted by all this. Up at 4am to catch a flight, then a full office day but i still can't sleep.
On the plus side i have tickets to Inter vs Lazio. Should be fun.

Our early round domestic cup performances against lower teams have been dire for a few years now, but we've usually always managed to grind out a result. Also giant killings can happen, but I associate them with games where you come up against a team that is far poorer than yourself, but for that 90 minutes totally plays out of their skin and just will not be beaten. That didn't happen tonight. Colchester were rubbish. It should have been a breeze, but it didn't just look like hard work. It looked like we were incapable of scoring. We're rapidly turning into a team that looks like it is so lacking in confidence that winning is beyond the players.
I don't think anyone is (or should be) getting sacked over a League Cup exit, but this evening is the first time I've really sat up and found myself deeply concerned about what the fuck is going on at the club.

PUNISHED CHRIS
Watching Chris Cowlin go into Colchester's ground is like watching a bunch of horny teens going into a cabin in the woods.
Before 2 in 8 the run wasn't anywhere near as successful as it has been the last few seasons. Its been right up there with the top two and now look, yes it's early days but already its like poch has just seen levy come round his house on Christmas day and piss on his kids and he's not entirely happy about itMate, have a word with yourself... 2 in 8
Sometimes I wish I was wrong.
Have we spent as much as our top 6 competitors then? My recollection is we didn’t buy ANYBODY last Summer. And overall our net spend over several years is closer to the bottom of the PL than the top. So yes, it’s a legitimate excuse. Doesn’t mean we don’t aim for the top. But we have to realize that it’s always going to be more difficult for us than our better financed competitors.
Then don’t fucking play them, drop the cunts to the reserves.
