New low

[Seanshoreham]

Back in 1981 I witnessed the Blades get soundly beaten by non-league Altrincham. certainly thought that was the most humiliating defeat I'd ever witness.

Well today Barnet proved me wrong

NB Altrincham were the top non-league side then

 

[zablade]

And we were a Fourth Division side then.

This is our most humiliating defeat ever no question.

[Fanny magnet]

Not to me glad we lost certainly won't give it a second thought after QPR next week

 

[McGrath]

We're obviously concentrating on the league given the team we put out.

I'd be more worried if I were the pigs, who fielded a full first XI but still couldn't get through

 

[SteveBlade]

I still felt worse after getting bummed 6-0 by Arsenal's kids.

Today compares to my girlfriend beating me at pool after I've had eight pints.

 

[Rodley]

And we were a Fourth Division side then.

This is our most humiliating defeat ever no question.

 

[JohnDenver]

It’s a low alright, no disguising that. But equally it’s a sad reflection on attitudes to the FA Cup.

A reserve team and two debuts. They played like strangers, and as much as Wilder will say otherwise, the team selection tells people and players what a low priority it was.

But congratulations to Barnet - they won with comfort.

 

[Seanshoreham]

Well we caught the bookies out today - Barnet were 11/1

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I’d love to be really bothered by this but instead I’m grieving the FA Cup.

The reality is it doesn’t matter and we’ll still be 3rd in the league next week and Wilder can get on with what he’s actually paid for.

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

Get a grip ! Worst defeat ever ?? The team lacked game time and it showed against opponents who obviously raised their game !! Not the greatest day but hardly the end of the world!
These things happen !
As ever UTB !!
Ps I feel fucking way worse when we lose 0-0 to the pigs and way way way worse when we actually lose to them !!

 

[AWetFlannel]

Fucking embarrassing, Wilder and the team should be ashamed.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Not to me glad we lost certainly won't give it a second thought after QPR next week

How the fuck can any Blade be glad we lose in any game? Now that really is a new low.

 

[Eric Cartman]

How the fuck can any Blade be glad we lose in any game? Now that really is a new low.

Very fucking weird

 

[Harrisblade]

Fucking embarrassing, Wilder and the team should be ashamed.

They will be until tomorrow.
Then they'll start preparing for the next game.

 

[Harry's Game]

Being hammerd at Stevenage in the league and Yeovil beating us in the play offs was more humiliating.

What is our worst defeat ever then?

Agreed. We were beaten by the better (non league) team. We, along with many other clubs, have lost respect for the FA Cup. Our best team could have been competitive. But no, we're not that interested.

 

[Topplayersleave]

I still love the FA Cup and I'm gutted when we go out

We will never win the League ever again, the only chance of ever seeing us win anything is a cup

If we're in the Premier League we'll toss it off because the main aim will be to stay there

If we're a Championship club we toss it off because the aim is to get promoted

Its pathetic, and there is no evidence that a cup run affects our League form, quite the opposite actually

 

[Harry's Game]

What is our worst defeat ever then?

The thrashing at Stevenage in the third tier takes some beating.

The thrashing at Stevenage in the third tier takes some beating.

That didn’t lead the sports news the following morning.

This one will.

 

[SwissBlade]

And we were a Fourth Division side then.

This is our most humiliating defeat ever no question.

When you pick a reserve team you deserve all you get.

Humiliating? Not really.

 

[Antonb]

It was very poor. Second string or not. This was a non league side that didn't need to even play that well to beat us at home. Any fan that paid to watch that should get a refund.

 

[JackSUFC]

What is our worst defeat ever then?

Remember Adkins? Take your pick from defeats that year mate.

 

[Nick Jansky]

It was disrespectful to both the FA Cup and Barnet. It backfired and the club got exactly what it deserved. Serves them right.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Remember Adkins? Take your pick from defeats that year mate.

Adkins had a Lg1 squad, and only got beat by other Lg1 squads. This is worse.

 

[AWetFlannel]

When you pick a reserve team you deserve all you get.

Humiliating? Not really.

The reserves humiliating of are getting paid thousands of pounds a week to play football.

The Barnet lads will be on hundreds, it should be humiliating.

 

[Fanny magnet]

How the fuck can any Blade be glad we lose in any game? Now that really is a new low.

Why ?
I want us to give promotion everything we've got
We've got an ageing squad, with no depth of cover for the real quality players and I just see the cups as a distraction
In fact I hate them

 

[JackSUFC]

Adkins had a Lg1 squad, and only got beat by other Lg1 squads. This is worse.

True, but the fact we had the squad we did, losing league games against the teams we did, hurt me more than our reserves going out the FA Cup when we’re in a Championship promotion race.

 

[SwissBlade]

The reserves humiliating of are getting paid thousands of pounds a week to play football.

The Barnet lads will be on hundreds, it should be humiliating.

It comes down to who wants it more, not money. Those players earning thousands per week have all played a decent part and earned their money in the games they’ve played before today.

Making 10/ 11 changes was always going to have one result
