Regardless of it being the League Cup, this club really needed a win tonight.... 21:42 - Aug 10 with 921 views | gainsboroughblue | Ok, not going to lose sleep over not taking part in this competition again this season but we need a boost of confidence, among the crowd as much as anything to feel like this new era is taking shape. A win is a win at the end of the day and as much as we'll hear 'Micky Mouse' Cup (which I don't disagree with), the pressure to perform and get results are going to multiply the longer we go on. Burton on Saturday won't be easy, particularly with a new squad. Just think we've missed a trick tonight and a win tonight could have given us a springboard. | |

We just seem to want any kill any feelgood factor almost immediately. We did it with the new owners in such a poor finish last season and now new squad new start this was really a missed opportunity. Disappointing | |

Regardless of it being the League Cup, this club really needed a win tonight.... on 22:05 - Aug 10 with 496 views | The_Realist_09 | I think I'd be more worried if the patterns of play and stats weren't there to show that something is brewing. It's unsustainable to have things like 70% possession and 25 shots and not be winning. If I remember rightly, even when we went off like a rocket at the start of last season, our underlying stats weren't very good, suggesting it wasn't going to be sustainable over a season. Of course we should have had enough to win tonight but it was more about getting minutes into a few players. We're still short at the back but we are putting an extremely strong side together. Enjoy the ride, it's a long season and I doubt the owners would literally buy Paul Cooks ideal squad to then not give him a fair shot with it. | | | |

Given the big influx of players there was a good opportunity to work on the playing side tonight with his preferred starters and formation. It was a free hit and seems like an opportunity lost to me. I’m sat here in my usual ITFC state of resignation while the Mrs is on a high because the Swans fielded a near first team so their remoulded team could get used to the new manager’s approach, and ended up getting 3 and should have had 4 or 5. We could have used the game positively if we’d wanted, rather than largely right it off. Hey ho. | |
