what a grotesque excuse for football.

I hate the Welsh :0)

But Wrexham deserved to win that game

Class finish by Pedro.

Disgraceful…..all over the pitch. Ugly win by an ugly team. Knew it would be difficult but we just made it harder than it should have been from the twat who picked the line up to the 11 than lasted 90 mins….this will be our last round anyway…not going to beat any of those that are left.

Wrexham lose, but their fans will be proud of their efforts. If our players could play with half the effort and passion, none of us would be anywhere near as hard on them as we are. They are just embarrassing themselves and the club in almost every game they play. We get called entitled, sometimes by those in our own fanbase, but it's these pricks on the pitch that are entitled. They show up with a terrible attitude and play at pace that is like they feel they have already made it, are better than others and everybody is beneath them.

I wouldn’t point the finger necessarily to the players but to the coach who picks a random lineup every week. How are they going to play when you line up against Wrexham with 7 defensive players? And, among the CBs, Tosin and Badiashille, who have shown time and again that are not good enough for Sunday league?

I thoroughly enjoyed that. It was very entertaining and beat some comfortable boring going through the motions 3-0 win hands down.

Well if we somehow go on to win the cup I won't be complaining at that point how we got past Wrexham tonight....

...However I am going to complain about it right now. That line up stank, the subs stank bar only Joao Pedro.

That was a disgrace. Appalling attitude from basically everyone there. Why? Cause the fa cup does not bring home big money so they don't care. So Rosenior follows his orders and the team copy the same attitude in not carring.

Horrid absolutely wretched. Embarrassing

I agree with what you say but surely these players can't be as bad as we make out. They're professional footballers and individually would probably be good in other teams that haven't had the success like we have. We just don't seem to play as a team. No awareness. That problem must come from the coaching.

It’s these cup matches I’ve noticed BlueCo get their grubby little claws all over with regards to squad and game management.

A win's a win, very entertaining game.

That was tough. We were down to ten men with Guiu on the pitch. But we dug in, rode our luck, and our sheer quality saw us through. Badiashile MOM with a towering display at the back.

All I ask for in the draw Monday is Liverpool at home to Arsenal and Newcastle/City at Brentfotd/west Ham.

Any of the other 3 options fine by me. Lol

As for saving players for PSG. Most of our best players, João aside have been totally off their game for ages so where's the point in saving them for what seems to be the only cup these bellends are interested in. The club is like Billy Smarts fu**ing circus only not so well run

They're better than Championship level, a lot of them aren't better than mid table Premier League though. One big thing they lack is the ability to just take a moment and stand out over everybody else. Be the player that makes a difference. They feel safe just being another player, and that was pretty much the entire first 11 today. Nothing players who think they are the elite, but they're not, they're nowhere near elite.

This is why Palmer and Pedro stand out. Not everything will come off, they will give the ball away, but they will keep trying to be the difference and more often than not, they end up being that difference.

It's clearer than ever with these games.

People will say "what is Rosenior doing picking that 11?"...........the answer has been staring them in the face for years now. It's BlueCo.

I don't know why it keeps getting ignored by some fans, like they can't accept that the "manager" is not actually in charge.

Again I agree. As you say some of our players are more mid table Prem than Chelsea material. But instead of going to find a top quality striker from abroad they'll go and buy some 14 year old from the French 3rd division. It makes no sense at all to me. That's no way to run a club that should be competing at the highest levels.

You are 100% right he’s a two bob manager having his strings pulled 😤

I don’t think it is being ignored by most. But, just like when your train gets cancelled you complain to the first worker you cross paths with, LR, and before Maresca, is the face of the ownership. Also, he accepted this job knowing very well what it implied, so he should be blamed as well as the SDs and the owners.

That was a terrible performance and the better team lost. It’s that simple.

The manager, the SD’s, the team. All have questions to answer.

This will be quickly forgotten by many but if anything comes of today other than the win it is that Bada, and Tosin are simply not good enough. I’m playing Hato, Josh, James, Sarr, Cucu, and my Gran before either of those two at CB. We’re told about rotation but rotating those two in actually decreases their value they were both that bad. Josh in many ways was worse but kudos for the finish and there could be a top player in there. 100% needs a season long loan where he will play every week.

I’m not even going to start about Neto. Delap is Everton bound I reckon. Every single thing about him screams Everton. It’s mad that we’ll make profit on him. Guiu won’t make it here either.

Today was exhibit 1 on why our sporting directors should be sacked then hung by their balls from the Tower of London.

I loved the game, a throwback to the PL of yesteryear. End to end action with actual football being played instead of waiting for corners, actual drama instead of handbags over diving, centre-forwards attacking instead of playing false-whatever.

I hated the attitude of Chelsea's senior players. I can understand young players failing to take things seriously but it was the seniors who were culpable, trying to play the game with a shamefully arrogant level of involvement and energy. They were bailed out by the efforts of the youngest players on the pitch. I thought it telling that when Jesse Derry was bundled over it was Joao Pedro and Gusto who were first over to support their teammate whereas Tosin and the mouthy Neto were nowhere to be seen.
