I’d be embarrassed to be knocked over by Gittens. The lads made of tracing paper

Every single thing Alan Smith has said so far (at the rate of one sentence per minute) has either been objectively wrong or profoundly moronic. No idea how he gets work, he's awful at his job.

This game has a Caicedo red all over it.

Maybe, stats only went back to 86 which we lost.

I remember Cardiff knocking us out of the League cup twice in the 80's. Both times over 2 legs

51 million pounds Gittens should be causing carnage v League one opposition.

This Hato looks a completely different player than the one we bought. Looks miles off.

Once Cardiff figure out that we are crap this should be a Sunday stroll for them.

Great work rate there from Hato

Quite liking Badiashile with the beard

They are no mugs….this was never going to be an easy game…..but somebody should have told the bald twat that before he picked the lineup. Might be League One but the football is intense, if you don’t match the opposition you’ll get turned over.

Last season we were able to give our second string regular games in the Conf League. But this season those kind of opportunities have been limited so inevitably a number of these players look short on match readiness

Almost like hes being coached by a completely useless f**kwit.

It takes a special kind of person to be awful at his job and stay employed. I should know.

Ref is buying into the home town underdogs theme, and our players are falling for it

Plus Maresca messes up the starting eleven consistently. He has to use most of his subs rectifying the problem rather than giving the likes of Hato minutes.

If there's a solid chance of him getting the tic tac because we go out tonight then I could live with that, id be naturally disappointed that a potential road to Wembley had been closed but sometimes no pain no gain.

Why are we wasting our time playing Buonanotte

Could Gittens not have caught up with that cross? He seems to just let it roll out for a throw, lazy.

I'm going to say something unpopular, but we may as well have just held on to Felix.

Acheampong looks really good. His pace and ability to break the lines is impressive.

Strange to then make 11 changes to the side in the QF of a cup competition, especially after Maresca reiterated over and over and over again, a chance for 3 semi finals in 18 months

He did score a cracking goal in one of our earlier matches though have heard nothing until today.

We don't with Enzo every week so at least Maresca has a consistent tactic!

Does seem very pointless given his temporary status.

Recycle FC

Looks like as tough as a test as we’ll have in the prem TBH.
