Roy has lost the plot he said in an article on Team Talk he was making only 3 changes from Saturday as we can handle 2 games in a week, then changes 10 players and our subs are all the youngsters. He might have a case of dementia as he is forgetting what he is saying? Further just to prove the point when Zaha played in the Chelsea game he stayed on the pitch for the full 95 minutes even though he hadn't played for 2 months yet against Newcastle he was taken off kicking and screaming with Roy citing he needed a break as he was tired and he didn't want him injured? Does he actually know what he is doing?

He didnt say he was happy at all. Pretty much said that the 2nd string players blew their chance of forcing their way into the team. He looked like a pretty angry geezer to me Agree, just been on the radio and he was very disappointed with them.

I thinkbwe have sadlybwitnessed the future at Ashton Gate. A team bereft of ideas managed by a man who is out of touch and a club being misrun. We are championship bound and the players left will be of the calivre we saw last night. The players are not fighting for the club and the defending is beyond a joke every week. You do know that was our dross last night in the league cup?

Great post by The_Aviator earlier in this thread. Agree with everything. Ashton Gate is a top stadium for a championship side, makes Selhurst look like a cowshed. So much for having billionaire investors. Nothing about last night gave us any hope that our situation can improve, each week we hit a new low, we are laughed at by everyone and it’s embarrassing to call yourself a Palace fan at the moment. The decline of Palace is like watching a much loved but terminally ill family member slowly pass away before your very eyes.

The ground is lovely. Looked and wondered if we will ever have a stadium like that at selhurst park. It was impressive and had to remind myself several times it's home to a championship side. Not what I was expecting at all. Game started well. We played well to start off. The atmosphere was great and when we went a goal up I thought this could be a great night and well worth the effort of driving all that way. The wheels came off pretty quickly. The amount of our on fans arguing with each other and hurling insults at each other was ridiculous. Singing we're s*** and we know we are and singing about Julian speroni had lots of us shaking our heads. Being shouted at and heckled by our own supporters for leaving at 85 mins was the icing on the cake

What concerns me about all this is that our Premier League team is now under no pressure to perform because they all know their places are pretty much safe – until January at least. Players need competition. Using Benteke as a prime example, I think a contributory factor in his below par performances this season is that he knows there is no one in the squad remotely capable of challenging for his position and he’s nailed on to start when fit.

I understand people are p1ssed about last night as i would be by the capitulation but it's always possible a bigger team is replaced with stand ins that haven't played with each other and end up losing. This was always possible when people bought their tickets or left from work or from the house on Tuesday afternoon, and trust me, I've been through it myself. This is as much about lack of respect from clubs AND players for cup competitions with no financial reward and little prestige left as it is not wanting to fight back for travelling fans. I know people aren't happy but it was always possible. Bristol city play together every week. That lot last night don't, or don't even play. Great in a previous round, completely insulted the next. I'm glad I don't let them mug me off with these sorts of games anymore. The chairman, shyte manager and first team players do it in the first 3 games instead.

We lost to a team of journeymen and a championship manager.
