We've gone full circle and now we are back where we started......Typical City.

Just watched the highlights. Fucking hell we looked worse than what it sounded.

Big questions have to be asked of the defence and midfield. That was truly awful.

At this level our team and squad simply have to be winning these games.

Direness. But not our first XI, thank God.

wished i had saved the 100 quid i spent on travel and tickets for a performance that was absolute dogshite.

having witnessed some utter dross over the years in the league cup. brighton, doncaster, chesterfield, last night and loads more, i am sacking it off in future, not worth the time and the money when clearly we have zero interest in the competition.

This is not a critiscism of your views but more a question to those who say this cup does not matter. If all 28,000 fans last night decided to not go again next year and the team ran out to an almost empty stadium do you think the club would be bothered then? I'm almost sure they would.

Of course this cup is important. We need players who are squad members playing in competitive games in readiness if called upon. It should help the youngsters to gain some important action and experience and now both those opportunities have gone. Also it'd be another bloody great day out in London come next February.

I've never understood this arguement of let's get knocked out early it's more of a hinderence arguement. Next season play 11 kids from the start if we're seriously not bothered.

i dersperately wanted to win, i spent 40 quid on tickets, knocked off work early, 50 quid petrol, 8 quid parking, home for 1.30am and up at 5am, done it year after year in the league cup, i have reached the point where i cannot justify it for such an half hearted display, i honestly think i wasted 100 quid yesterday, i made the effort, dont feel the team did.

and i agree it is a great chance to blood the youngsters, but to me, the outlay no longer matches the return.
