I'm certainly not a negative poster on this board, nor am I desperate to moan or have a pop at Poyet, who I think is an excellent manager. In my opinion, though, we were very poor against Orient and I'm not sure how anyone could say otherwise. We looked toothless in the final third.
He's quite right. As much as the competition is not a priority, to come out and say it should be scrapped the day before a game is disrespectful in the extreme. It's OK for him to say having played at the top level but third division footballers may see it differently.
That's without taking...
