The season isn’t over, we can concentrate on the league now.

3 games in a week, a squad on its bare bones, 120 minutes and a shoot out … that’s draining.

The penalties were shocking, but taking everything into account, it’s amazing we even got to that stage.

We need a few players back, a few players out and couple of players in, and a couple of players need to step up and others an attitude adjustment.

As a club we can ever stand up and kick on or fall apart.
 
In a season that has seen a lot of progress that may have been the low point of my time as a Blue

Cheer up mate, could be worse, you could be a Palace fan and seen your team knocked out and out played by a team from the Conference North and that’s with the fan boys on here, world class manager too.
 
I get that we are only a few points from 5th like a previous poster has said and we are pessimistic. The cup isn't just bonus territory and we have somehow become programmed to think so. It's nearly 40 years since last league and 32 by last trophy.

We just make first round exits in now annually, it absolutely stinks of useless mentality. Our best chance of a trophy and getting better players.

Feel so sorry for our younger supporters who have never experienced a trophy.
 
Taking a step back here.

Shunting Moyes is only 5% of the problem.

The problem is the core of the team is still the turd brought in by previous regimes and what’s been added are “potential” that unless they bag 30 goals in their first season then they’ll get rinsed.
Academy needs a complete overhaul too.

Whole setup is chronic. Even with a new ground, we can’t sort ticketing out with 100s of empty seats again.
