An odd game. We looked in total control until PvA's error and then we were awful. The second half we just fell apart and everyone started hiding from the ball. However, despite how awful we were for the last hour, the score-line still flattered Bristol City.

Result aside, it shows what a joke competition this cup is. We would have been in the Q/F had we won and yet we still changed all but one player. Even Bristol City rested players.

Our current squad really needs work

Absolutely disgusting performance. They were there for the taking and we shipped four goals to them. A couple of decent performances in the first half hour but the only thing it reminds me of is that cricket match in Antigua in I think 1993 when England needed 141 to beat the West Indies and were bowled out for 46.

It's fair enough to play a second string team in the league cup when you're struggling for points but this lot dragged the badge through the mud.

Ten days ago we saw Wilf, Andros, Sakho et al run through walls to turn the champions over. One of our best performances in recent times.

Tonight was one of our worst.

Agreed, tonight was total toilet.

"Billy Gilbert really is God"

Wolves don't seem to think so. Putting up a solid performance against a pretty good Man City. Could easily have won it but for Bravo. 3 one on one saves including injury time.

"Billy Gilbert really is God"

If Hodgson picks him again in the near future when Schlupp and Souare are available then he needs his f***ing bumps felt. Worst performance by anyone in a Palace shirt for years, and that includes Ledley's shocking display against Sunderland last season.
