Fully understand the disappointment at being beaten 6 2 was the team we played our strongest line up No was it a reasonably strong team yep . To be fair with QPR's record in the FA Cup there is no guarantee of our strongest team beating a weakened Leicester team and Leicester's team was basically their first choice eleven.
We have not won an away FA Cup game other than replays this Millennium . I fully understand peoples ire but sadly this is how the FA Cup is treated these days with very few clubs putting out anything like their strongest team. |  | | |

We’re still bleating on about yesterday then.
All players who played with the exception of Walsh have played plenty of football this season . No one was out there who shouldn’t have been .That wasn’t our ‘second string’ . It wasn’t a bunch of kids brought out of the stiffs to play a premier league team .
We just weren’t good enough . We didn’t retain the football well enough just like every other game this season. We just didn’t get away with it this time.
I read things like “Marti lied to us”, “that starting line up was minging”, “f*cking furious with Marti” and god knows what the idiot I’ve muted has vomited out in the last 24 hours. Seen usually reasonable and interesting and sensible posters be personally abusive to a couple of players . Come on guys . We all hate losing . Conceding 6 is embarrassing of course . But take a breath ffs.
Plenty to disagree with Marti on yesterday. No subs at half time for example. Seemed strange to me but there would be a reason for it. I don’t know why but my guess is he likes his players to play themselves out of bad form . Thats why Madsen started . Thats why he persevered with Ashby….thats why he never took Fox off against Portsmouth.. we don’t have to agree with any of that stuff , but we’re all football manager 2025 in hindsight aren’t we?
MC has been in charge for just over a year . The fact that we go out in the 3rd round year after year after year isn’t Marti’s burden to carry . It’s not his problem .
It’s our problem and rightly so . We’re entitled not to accept that, but a coach ultimately lives and dies by his league position (mark robins) not a cup win at Leicester. The bigger picture is we need Dunne and Smyth to help stay out of that drop zone . You may not agree but you have to accept that that may be the clubs and Marti’s priority .
He put out a team he thought would be competitive and he was right . 3 terrible individual errors in the first half and we concede 3 goals . A coach can’t do anything about that .
And for the 4th and for the 6th.
He wouldn’t have expected his players to fold like that so maybe just maybe the players should hold their hands up as JCS alluded too.
25 pages of whining .
Blimey .
How many pages was the Luton match thread after a great victory ?
And 1 last thing that if taken the wrong way will upset everybody but it’s not meant too.
I’ve read that the 4500 didn’t deserve that starting line up.
The 4500 were incredible yesterday as I’ve said previously. Loud , proud and just brilliant .
But surely not one of the 4500 bought a ticket without wondering if we might just play a weakened team and if you did then that’s a bit naive . In the end we left Dunne , Smyth and 18 year old kid out who has made 12 appearances. Nardi would have made little to no difference as Walsh had no chance with any of the goals . The team could have been a hell of a lot weaker in truth . Chair, Varane, Field, JCS, Saito, Kolli, Ashby, Paal all started and have started league games in the last 2 weeks . Edwards will start games going forward so how weak was it really? Too late perhaps but Smyth, Colback and Frey got minutes . So just Dunne then. And I read that we’ve rested most of the squad and we’ll still lose at Plymouth ? Most of the squad??
Listen I don’t expect our fan base to accept losing 6-2. It hurts .
Some of the criticism has been fair and deserved . But 25 pages, multiple threads , personal attacks , calling the coach and someone who continues to polish and ever growing turd….a liar…. Come on . [Post edited 13 Jan 0:29]

So, those of us still unhappy at Saturday's team selection, the performance and the result are 'bleating' are we? Well, on behalf of us bleaters, we are so terribly sorry to have expressed emotions that do not conform with the standards required by those who clearly inhabit the emotional, intellectual and moral highground. And what's worse, we've been bleating about it for far longer than the proscribed 4-hour wailing period. How dare we!
Never mind, at least we have now been told by our betters that our behaviour is unaccectable, and we shall go back to smiling beatifically for the honour and privilege of sharing our support with those who deign to allow us to do so. Thank you. |
Mr / Mrs / ms Hubble I take your point . In the cold light of a Monday morning it does come across as a bit high and mighty . Keeps saying I shouldn’t post on a Sunday night but I still do .
However I do stand by the premise and for that we’ll have to agree to disagree . My last paragraph as follows.

I stand by that as I saw posters who I greatly respect resort to some weird old rants and it was more those I got annoyed with , but didn’t mean to belittle anybody nonetheless,so apologies where needed . |  | | |

The only way to rectify this would be, starting next year, stand our ground and voice that nobody will be buying a ticket for FAC 3rd round until we have club confirmation that we’ll be fielding a full strength side.
That may possibly be asking too much given that we haven’t managed to do that once this entire season but needs must.
Next Jan I will accept nothing less than Cook romping along the back line on crutches and the Tyler fella strapped to his therapist in a holding midfield role. |  | | |

Ahh the victim card comes out again. Go back and look at your reply when someone spoke to you about your poll. They started it with 'no offence'
So what did you do. Had a little hissy fit, was rude, condescending and sarcastic. You can't even see it which is the scary thing. No self awareness sadly. |
Don't feed the troll! Even though I agree with you 100 %. [Post edited 14 Jan 2:05]

Fair enough Mart, apology accepted, and thank you for correctly acknowledging my triple-gendered identity. |  |

I've kept my powder dry on this until I'd properly digested my own thoughts and balanced them against what everyone else has been saying, including mart's brilliantly written post.
If this had been last season, Denham, I would have agreed 100% with you and everyone else on your side of the debate - no question.
However, I was very ill with a horrendous respiratory viral infection all weekend which nearly had me hospitalised, and my one friend whilst I navigated my way through this medical minefield was 5Live's coverage of the Third Round.
The Tamworth v Tottenham tie in particular was an absolute joy to listen to - all the old cup cliches were there in abundance, and were dutifully milked by the BBC, but the thing that I kept coming back to was actually how strong the majority of sides put out by their respective managers were: Newcastle, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Man Utd, Arsenal: it felt like something of a genuine rebirth, and fanned by the BBC's extensive coverage of it.
No doubt about it - we've dropped a substantial bollard this time around, especially seeing who we would have got next round.
Putting up a gallant fight against Man Ure in a 5th round cup tie at leaky Old Trafford AND finishing beautifully cuddled up in the bosom of Clive's predicted 13th place in the league this season is something I think the majority of us would have happily accepted. Now we've got half the fanbase unnecessarily upset and irritated, lost out on a shedload of cash and positive exposure AND we're no closer to guaranteeing the mid-table finish despite the sacrifice. | | | |

Agree, and especially so in retrospect when that draw for the next game would have given us a game with Man U. I thought that other than poor defending on the right side we played well 1st half and at half time thought we could win it if we brought Dunne on. I understand why the key players were rested, but as said they wouldn't have been for a League game. The League is rightly imo given priority but given our mid-table position and lower table PL opposition we had beaten already this year, we should have put out our best team as Leicester did. It was winnable. | | | |

Cheers, Bri - yes, almost back to full working capacity, but there were a few scary moments between late Friday and late Saturday pm. | | | |
