    A theory

    So why are we such rubbish in the cup (s)? How about this thought. Teams like Franchise, Brentford, etc view us as a genuine scalp, based on our presence in or near the top flight in recent history ( except for our brief spell one division lower. Incidentally, we have NEVER been in the bottom division.) So teams raise their game, enjoy their day and have some fun at our expense. We just roll over for them, because of a billy Big boots attitude ( presumably shown today ) or dont even bother if we were the underdogs as we don’t do that anymore. As for the current team- I don’t think Anyone can turn them into contenders - when did they turn in a convincing 90 minutes last, win lose or draw? Holloway is far from the best, but Dave Sexton would struggle to get a decent performance out of this lot.

    I've got a better theory, the manager is a c#nt and so is the chairman!

      I think we have been taking a midwinter break for the last 10 years.

          It’s part of the OAC plan, the lower we are the smaller the stadium needed = more residential ��

              We have always been a small London club but had style, had being the operative word.
              Now we are a joke and no one fears or respects us.

                Les ain't the best, but at least he's made some improvements to the club. Can't say the same about Uncle Bungle or Ian Hollowhead. Farking idiots the pair of them!

                    For the last 20 years? Even beloved Warnock couldn't win us an FA Cup game.

                      That's a fact. Doesn't make my point any less of a fact!

                        You're correct lol but it's not the answer to our FA Cup hoodoo.

                          Dont even care about the FA cup to be honest. But we picked a strong side today and should have won. If we were gonna lose the game he may as well have played the kids. Wouldn't have been as embarrassing if our U21's had lost to MK Dons.

                          Regardless, he won't be sacked based on today. I hope he will be if he gets anything less than 3 points against Burton next week!

                            Yes we picked a strong side but if the players dont give it there all there going to come unstuck against anyone tarbs, the players are at fault here, especially after showing what they can do last week! too many half arsed performances today against a team who wanted it more.

                              We will lose at Burton,Nigel clough is a very decent manager and will have the nous to beat anything Holloway comes up with.
                              Maybe our superstar goal machine Connor will be back after his well deserved rest and be back to his red hot best.
                              After another loss next weekend he will still have a job,I'd go as far to bet my life on it.
                              The club are well beyond a joke and a laughing stock without any real clue.
                              Probably think we are bobbling along quite nicely and things will improve.
