Regardless of manager, players, owners… our record is absolutely fooking abysmal. Sick of it. |  |

Here's a novel idea FAO ITFC management - How about next season, play the strongest line up and see what happens.
Its not like this policy of weakened teams under the last 5 or so managers over at least 10 years has helped us deliver successful seasons, and ensure the first team are fresh and deliver victory after victory. In fact maybe its just not doing us any favours at all. [Post edited 9 Aug 2022 21:45]

I’m usually quite level headed and try not to let football stuff bother me too much BUT this cup “run” we keep missing really is starting to p1ss me right off
Goals and where they’re coming from weren’t an issue for me and again another BUT …….this is getting a little worrying now |  |

People will say it does not matter, going out of this, but it's how it happens that matters and tonight McKenna's shown himself to be just as incapable as the Pauls. |  | | |

When are we going to learn that making 10/11 changes does nothing for you?
Make 5/6 changes then 5+ more in the second half if necessary. Win the match then you have momentum.
Fed up with losing in the first round every time. |  |

That last sentence is patent nonsense but nevertheless wholesale changes never ever work. He's a young Manager learning. He needs to prioritise goal-scoring now rather than defence. | | | |

One of the downfalls of having a big squad. |  |

If Humphrys hadn’t missed a sitter, and Harper hadn’t gifted them a goal, then it would have been a different story. I don’t blame McKenna. It was the right thing to do to make wholesale changes. That team was more than good enough to win the match. |  | | |

McKenna trains them, McKenna coaches them, McKenna picks them, McKenna decides the formation, McKenna decides the style of play. The way Humphreys finishes, McKenna's not had much success coaching him has he. | | | |

True, if we hadn’t lost we might have won. | |

When it comes to cup competitions it's Groundhog Day with our level of performance. A different season, different manager but the same limp display. Sooooo incredibly frustrating!! | |

Should have qualified that with "in cup competitions". I haven't given up on him in the league...yet. | | | |

What I don’t get about this playing a weakened team in cups so we can “concentrate on the league” is that it hasn’t made a blind bit of difference for years.
When was the last good cup run of any sort? |  |

2010/2011. Got to the semis of the League Cup.
Keane was sacked before we played the first leg of the semi final. | |

It’s a f’king joke.
11,000+ there tonight £15 a pop for an adult, fans showing up team not, once again.
Finding myself saying ‘oh if we win Saturday tonight is forgotten’ said it every f’king year for the last 20 years. Someone on the radio said ‘promotion this season, tonights long forgotten’ that’s been said for the last 20 years.
Really annoyed by tonight and will be tomorrow but come Thursday it will just be ‘it was only the cup’ (another thing said for the last 20 years) but for those that went tonight it wasn’t ‘only the cup’. |  |

And there’s no guarantee that we will win on Saturday either. | |

The issue is tonight's result has turned up the heat under Saturday. If we lose that one too suddenly the pressure is going to be on, to a degree McKenna hasn't suffered from before as a manager. | |
