Well that was all so predictable.

The really simple concept of a cup competition is you play randomly drawn games and if you win them all you get a big day out, a shiny trophy and a crack at Europe.

So we play Royball and aim to keep a clean sheet. We will never win a game unless we actually score and Roy sucks all front running play out of the side.

I used to reckon we would survive as there were worse teams than us. Not so sure now.

Parish would not give any other manager this much time so I can only assume Roy has pictures of him in a compromised position and is threatening to.go.public if he is sacked

It’s isn’t though. We’ve a decent first 11, unfortunately Roy would set us up defensively against Mansfield at home.

Considering how much he bangs on about his CV, how many players had he ever actually improved.

I'm absolutely staggered that after starting with 5 defenders, two defensive midfielders and a left winger who used to be a left back we didn't score.

Disappointed that we conceded though, I vote on Saturday we sacrifice Eze or the striker and play Tomkins to shore it up at the back a bit.

Can’t remember the last time I actually looked forward to a match day.

We are just going nowhere and aren’t even good to watch anymeore.

We all know what to expect against the Arsenal - a defensive set up hoping to limit them to a respectable score line with very little attacking intent on our part.

It’s all Very depressing right now…….I just want the season to be over.

Ironic, since Roy knows exactly what he's doing. The FA Cup is a luxury we can't afford this season, and he is giving some of our limited squad a little breather in readiness for a very hard game on Saturday.
