Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle 16:46 - Aug 12 with 40521 views | numptydumpty | Clearly this is our year.... Well likely half the team that won the Premier League Cup will be involved here, so the cup pedigree is there !!! Probably as Plymouth also stated they likely to field a second team, this could be seen as no more than a preseason friendly... I have no idea as to the result, performance or team, but am not too hopeful. Saying that Plymouth have lost almost all their top players, but its a cup game Random from me. Plymouth 2 QPR 2 We progress 3- 1 on penalties (Chloe Kelly strikes the winner) |  |

Im 55 years old. I've never knowingly wet the bed. I think our approach to this game is frankly pathetic and disrespectful to 1000 people who have trekked down to Plymouth tonight. If you're happy with the clubs approach to this game, then fine, but i disagree. It's a competitive match, and we've played children |  | |  |

It all looked a bit of a mess in the 2nd half … wonder if the under 23’s will play in the FACup 3rd round? |  | |  |

Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:39 - Aug 12 by slmrstid | It may be a team on the pitch that bears no resemblance to our league side, but its the sort of result and outcome that torches a huge amount of goodwill with the fanbase. Especially the poor sods who have travelled tonight. Just think how much people kicked off after the Leicester cup game in January! |
Absolutely this. This really is treating the fans with contempt. |  | |  |
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:46 - Aug 12 with 1840 views | andrew1302 | Can't blame the side but reckon Stefan will have annoyed a lot of people. For me simply not acceptable to put out an under 23 side. We are not playing a side to give them experience we are supposed to be a club who can have cup runs and not just be satisfied sitting in the lower reaches of the Championship. A cup run gives a lift from the constant struggle. Poor by Stefan |  | |  |
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:46 - Aug 12 with 1823 views | BushRanger82 | 12th August, and out of one cup competition already. That club of ours hasn't an ounce of pride in itself, or us, the fans. I am disgusted, embarrassed, and ashamed, of QPR. |  | |  |
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:46 - Aug 12 with 1815 views | Toast_R | I believe the club should state their intention when the tickets go on sale tbh. Please note, the club will be fielding an experimental team made up largely of the development squad and fringe players for our 1st round exit to (place shyte League one or Two team name here). At least the poor sods who make the long journey know where they stand. [Post edited 12 Aug 21:48]

Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:39 - Aug 12 by NewYorkRanger | well we can politely disagree then. What exactly have these kids gained tonight that is better than the club going on a cup run? i believe the answer to be f*ck all. You presumably have a different point of view |
You are missing my point. I want us to go on a cup run. I want the first team to be out there putting the green army to the sword and going on a cup run - but that is not what is clearly going on in the higher echelons of the club. Nourry is no doubt pulling the strings here or maybe even Stephan is handing over the reigns to Furlong for the cup ahead of the transfer deadline to say ‘this is what we have to work with’. Nothing has changed in 10 years in the cup. Warbs was sacked (or didn’t have his contract renewed to be accurate) because he reckoned that the youngsters were not good enough and now Julien is giving Furs his chance to prove to CN that they are. Or not judging by the result. |  |

Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:46 - Aug 12 with 1807 views | mart_Goblin | Not trying to get anything from this game now Just statistics and charts for Nourry’s next PowerPoint . Congratulations to these youngsters getting debuts and minutes . Genuinely happy for them and they would have learned alot . The comment about Putnam ‘not ever playing for the first team again ‘ on here a little while ago just makes me feel physically sick that fans talk about our young players like that . He’s a f*cking kid making his debut. Fans maybe . Supporters? Not so sure . We have an injury crisis at the club like almost never before which is saying something . But make no mistake . Thee have been many players come and gone who were better than some of these and various stages that got NoWHERE near the 1st team . Another chapter of ego and self serving garbage that is running rampant at our club which a lot of you are only too happy to wave through like it’s ‘great’. There are huge red flags . One of which seems to be the head coach going along with this utter guff. I could go on but what’s the point . A small shout to EDB and Nardi tonight . Never mind their performance. Professional and committed in everything they did when really , they’ve been hung out to dry completely. They should be looking for exit for their own sakes . |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:47 - Aug 12 with 1799 views | Beejnewark | We've had better elevens go out with less effort than that. The kids faded badly second half, arguably needed the more senior players to pull them through, but they didn't. |  | |  |

I mean you have spent all off season insisting that the EDS kids should be throw into the first team and next season they will make up the core of a title winning team… No matter which way you try and spin it, they instead, rather predictably, showed that absolutely none of them can be relied upon in a competitive league game this season. |  | |  |
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:47 - Aug 12 with 1778 views | Malintabuk | Not going to disparage the kids... they gave everything out there tonight... and that is all you can ask if any player that puts on our shirt. Whether it has positive or not is debatable. Personally I would rather have had us at least be competitive... and picked a team that would have had a better chance of a result Perhaps Nourry was thinking that we are likely Man City or Liverpool... plays the kids in the early round... except we ain't either More disappointed with the club than the players tonight |  | |  |
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:48 - Aug 12 with 1718 views | theone_theonly | I honestly don’t understand the argument for fielding a team this weak. This fixture comes along like every other game in the calendar, why sack the entire competition off when you could give the fans a cup run and potentially earn that sweet TV money if we get a Prem team away in the later round. Disrespectful to the fans who travelled, disrespectful to the competition, and disrespectful to the DS players who’ve been thrown in the deep end. By the end of the game, most of our players were making their professional debuts. Isn’t Julian supposed to have a good record in the cup in France? Just goes to show the attitude to cup competitions the club has… |  | |  |

yep 100% agree. As a 58 year old I may be out of touch with the yoof and what's in vogue football wise today - but this is unforgivable. Really, really poor. The club hierarchy should be accountable for this. Caaarnts [Post edited 12 Aug 21:49]

Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:33 - Aug 12 by Wilkinswatercarrier | No it's not. Again, people completely missing the point of tonight. Get the youngsters in, get them playing so they can push onto the 1st team. These players will have more in these 90 minutes than an entire season of development football. It's not difficult. |
It's you who's cravenly missing the point about being professional, being competitive, and respecting the only Cup we ever won (and as a Third Division team). |  |

Was a difficult watch and hard to take many positives from the QPR approach. At two nil at half time, took off our one potent threat in Burrell. So from doing spectacularly well, we gave them a leg up in the game. Am all for giving the young boys a chance but if you get into a position at half time, where winning is a possibility, protectit so you can give the boys another chance next time. Handed the game to Plymouth and tbh am truly f'd off with the powers that be. If giving theyoung boysa chance,have senior players on the bench and we win that and the boys get another opportunity in the next round. Nardi and the defence was unfortunately very weak in the second half. We did not bring on the cavalry to win thegame, but two of our three youngest ever players. Thats daft. |  |

Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:50 - Aug 12 with 1553 views | ozexile | This club blows my mind. You want to develop players that's great. But no one is buying them if they only see them playing the likes of Plymouth. They need to be seen playing premier league teams maybe on a cup run. And yes I know injuries etc. it's all B""llo" |  | |  |
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:51 - Aug 12 with 1503 views | Blue_Castello | Well I dont believe Stephan made the decision to field a complete development team for our first round cup game, that obviously came from our Director of Football. Anybody know what's happening with Alfie Tuck, he was one of our star players in the Cup Final over Brentford and now can't even get on the pitch. |  | |  |

Total disrespect shown to competition and fans |  | |  |
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:52 - Aug 12 with 1452 views | NorthantsHoop | The only thing I took from this game is that Burrell should lead the line at Watford. I thought earlier Nardi should start on Saturday, but not so sure as he had a poor 2nd half, although the young defenders did struggle with those crosses. Basically the better team won but to spunk a two goal lead is really disappointing. |  | |  |
Carabao Cup Winners thread - victim one - Plymouth Argyle on 21:52 - Aug 12 with 1415 views | lassel | About the only meaningful takeaways are that it’s unsurprising the club are keen to shed Nardi’s generous wage packet, Tuck is infact not the messiah some thought and seemingly has no future here, Burrell is fast and that’s about it. Cant blame the kids, they have a valiant account of themselves against by far and away the highest quality and strongest opponents physically they’ll have ever played against, but clearly none of them are close to being able to fill injury gaps this season. |  | |  |

It definitely feels to me that Stephan wasn't really involved in choosing the side tonight. The half time score completely flattered us - Burrell was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. Understand taking him off to save for Saturday... But the same as Saturday, we were completely bullied in the 2nd half and it could have been more than 3-2. I'm all for playing the youngsters, but they have to be able to compete - I don't think tonight will have done any good for any of their personal esteem. Playing the kids just to make a point is poor IMO, we deserve better than throwing the kids to the wolves. |  | |  |
