[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Hendrie off to a good start spouting lazy generic bollocks

 

[Davalon]

The negativity for a glorified friendly is unreal.

Depends how unprofessional you want to be I guess

 

[AnstonBlade1]

We scored after the 4th minute

Not watching got some paint that wants watching drying

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

Is Cannon on the pittch?

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

New season same old O'Hare refusing to shoot

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Rothwell really should be burying that.

Good to see Chong finding players too

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Chong and Serki enjoying their day out. Should be 2 nil or a handball before it.

Importantly not letting them have a shot on target. The stat of losing 7 games from winning positions was because we were so Powderpuff at times.

 

[Westran]

Rothwell gives me Ricky Holmes vibes

 

[Shawy24]

Is Cannon on the pittch?

A refrain which will no doubt be heard every week until someone sees sense.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Ah shite

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

That's 3 weeks out for Chong then

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Fcks sake

 

[XADE]

Which part of this is unprofessional? Playing a few that wouldn't make the ideal lineup?

 

[BangorBlade]

Chong was looking lively, think he would be better used on the left with Donovan on the right

 

[Gtblades]

Real shame. Chong playing well.

 

[Davalon]

You called it a glorified friendly.

I hope it's treated than more than that.

 

[coolasanidiot]

Rothwell and RND soooooo slow. Cannon might as well be not on the pitch.

 

[SB_90]

the sheer amount of people that came in as players coming out of tunnel. my anxiety could never. i have to be in at least 30mins before KO. Espically at an away game

 

[Richy Rich]

Was wilder having a go at Chong when he came off? Neither looked happy.

 

[jt64]

If I ask Grok to make me a video of someone trying to do a Zidane turn with nobody near them, them fucking it up and the ball rolling harmlessly out for a throw, it could just look up that Donovan clip

Didzy doing a little twirl right in front of him seconds after was amusing

Wilder has gone senile.

He now thinks Chong is Brooks.

 

[ckpe147]

Typical Chong coming off when he actually looked quite lively, seemed like the only player trying to inject some pace into the game.
Donovan way too lightweight

 

[jt64]

JFC HOW MUCH SPACE DID HE HAVE THERE, TWICE

 

[espoo blade]

Great save Coops!

 

[AWetFlannel]

[coolasanidiot]

Rothwell and RND simply not good enough.

 

[harrry1990s]

This is not looking fantastic. EFL Cup or not. No obvious out ball or creativity, and not just Hamer related. We don’t seem to have an identity anymore.

 

[SB_90]

pleased to be 1-0 up. although Mansfield far better team last 15 mins. Cooper kept us in it with some cracking saves

 

[jt64]

Difference between us and them - they seem to want to win the game, we're happy just to try to hold on
