Who is most to blame for our Cup exit?

[Blue Valkyrie]

Burke - for being head of player recruitment, and not having an adequate 2nd choice goalkeeper on the books ( Walton maybe in the future ).

The standard of our number 2 goalkeeping is poor for our ambition, which meant the number 1 keeper had to be protected from injury in this match.

Not Brezovan's fault - he is what he is in terms of ability - I wish him well for his next club as surely he is leaving in the summer.

 

[carlzeiss]

Hull City for me

 

[Seagullible]

The Lino

 

[fruitnveg]

It is obviously my Dad's fault as we never win when he watches us play.

On a more serious note. Football is a team game and as a team we played appalingly for the first 60 minutes of yesterday's game. No individual to blame more so than any other.

 

[keaton]

I can't remember the last time we won a game on TV (maybe Hull at home last year?) so I blame Sky.

 

[dougdeep]

The injuries.

 

[CheeseRolls]

Hull for being better than us.

Where is this advanced sense of entitlement coming from ?

Most seasons end in disappointment and if you are talking about the cup, we have over 100 failed attempts to our name, you would think people would be used to this by now.

Seems a bit harsh, considering it was on ITV.

No-one and everyone. Why do we always need a scapegoat?

I don't think you can realistically blame any one person for our exit.

Other : Hull City Tigers.

I put the blame on our opponents who went and scored more goals than we did.

Hull City for me

Hull for being better than us.

Sensible answers.

Sometimes you've got to accept defeat and learn from it, not bedwet, especially when you narrowly lose to a premiership team over two matches.
Some people need to man (or woman) up. Feel free to create a pantomime and a blame culture but no-one is going to take you seriously. I guess I'm asking for too much.

[MENTION=153]perseus[/MENTION] for putting a sodding POLL in the Official match thread

This
And like I was responsible for Saturdays defeat against Wigan for inadvertently giving Wigan a bigger badge than ours

 

[El Sid]

The rugby markings on the pitch, causing confusion for the players on where the half way line was supposed to be.

 

[edna krabappel]

Oscar's little beard. Not quite manly enough to motivate the players. If he went for the full Brian Blessed, it would be far more imposing and result in a more determined attitude from the players.

 

[daveinprague]

The EDL, and our teams total inability to pass the ball to each other last night

 

[keaton]

They ruined football.

 

[MattBackHome]

You missed out David Burke. And the club's marketing dept.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

The Management & Players shirley have to take collective responsibility for the defeat. Individual errors are generally the reason a team wins, loses, or even draws a match: but the tactics, application, & collective performance last night outweighed any individual muppetry IMO. I just hope lessons are quickly learnt & corrected, otherwise I can see a very disappointing end to this year's campaign.

The man in the club shop who told an NSC poster this week that Nike were the new kit suppliers.

Clearly evidence of a lack of unity and trust within the club, from the bottom up.

 

[Jesus Gul]

I blame 'Negative Stand Chat'

 

[Hamilton]

If Ernest Barnes the Midget hadn't missed that SITTER against Yeovil then we wouldn't be in this situation.

 

[The Wookiee]

All of the above
