Good Luck to Argyle in the next round - could easily have been seven or eight nil tonight.
Looked like a Ben Garner team tonight … maybe worse.
Hopefully we have our real team back for Accrington.

How can a potential Wembley final be pointless for the club? Once we've reached this stage the cup is really no different than it was in pre U23 days. It’s full of Premiership under 23, their dream is for one of them to win it, the publicity would be ten fold of the normal competition. This game is like a reserve team fixture, nothing more. Thought it was U21!

Jakola - what happened to you man? Lack of games. Some of these players are lacking match fitness, they need reserve team football.

Jaakola and Whelan I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last time they put on a Rovers shirt. The rest are players we've paid a fee for this season or young loan players. Who do you think we should be moving on? A few out on loan maybe …. Loft and Gordon maybe Hoole on loan. Just don’t think they will help us mount a challenge if indeed it is to be believed from the manager. Hoole isn't going anywhere, same for Loft. Gordon seems to be the weakest link but we don't have the cover now Trev has gone so can't see him going out either tbh

At least it's shown again that JB can't trust the defense and needs changing as teams have now worked out our weekness ( lob it over the top)

To be fair, it’s probably a performance that’s matched the managers attitude to the fixture. Never mind, put it to bed and let’s move on to Saturday and the league….

It'll be interesting to see what JB says post match, I assume he'll say he took one look at the pitch and decided it wasn't worth risking 1st team players.

Just don’t think they will help us mount a challenge if indeed it is to be believed from the manager. Gordon and Hoole are both typical young lower league Full Backs for me. They have good games and bad games. It doesn't help when all of our back 4 or 5 are all youngsters with little to no experience of League Football. We need an experienced Centre Half, in the mould of Mark Mchrystal and Tony Craig to help the young lads out I think. Just a straight up Commanding, No nonsense, experienced Defender. I don't think Lofty will ever be good enough consistently I agree. I am confident Joey has some gems up his sleeve again to improve us massively this month

Oh well
Best we can hope for is that the manager didn't take this competition seriously and fielded am appropriate team and didn't bother with any tactics or coaching for this game.

Thought it was U21! That’s how little I care about it, the race to be top four is all football is about in this country and to make the top six to ten teams richer. It’s all the press go on about.

Joe,just as Darrell was,ain't that bothered about the Cups. Even the FA Cup!Borehamwood!
The football authorities need to reasess English football ko tournaments.
The League and FA Cups are simply not what they once were.As for the U21 Pizza Cup,well it it's insulting rubbish.
Football clubs need real incentive to win a Cup game,that's what is lacking.

We will keep carrying them through the season.

Out of interest,what's the money for winning tonight? Sure we could do with it.

There's a fella called Kilgour that may be worth a try

That was embarrassing, let's not enter it next season, or play the youth and get knocked out straight away.
Archie and the under 10 s showed more application at training tonight.
Anssi must have been in the spoons all day

See Accy won tonight on pens. Wonder if they played a strong side or rested players like us? Hopefully the former.
Luckily there’s a couple weeks now to try to sort the pitch out (as far as possible).
Never like to see us lose but hate the u21 format so glad in a way we’re out (as a ‘silver lining’). Once again I avoid that dilemma of a trip to Wembley I’d want to boycott but the kids wouldn’t want to miss having not seen us there before nor understanding the politics (obviously, I would have bitten the bullet and taken them).
