 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is my three things, QPR 2, Eviton 2, I really didn't feel like doing this at all tonight because I'm not sure whether there was three things I want to talk about. I guess the first thing is my disappointment. Why do I, why do, why am I shocked at that defeat? I mean I'm not shocked by it but why can't I just accept it easily, that defeat? It was, I've seen it so many times. These players aren't good enough, simple as that. They haven't got the stomach to go and fight against the team who wants it, that little bit more. They proved it again tonight. But it's still it, as an Evitonian, as a, you know, you're hoping that you can build some momentum, which we obviously lost at the weekend of Villa. You're hoping you can get it back tonight but it shouldn't be the case when you look at it, you know that you've got a few injuries but you're playing a championship side and you're looking thinking it's going to be a tough one this whereas you just feel that other clubs will be able to go and do the business and fair play to QPR, they, they done well tonight but Eviton, a lot of players out there tonight let themselves down so about that in a minute but for me you would think now wouldn't you that I'd just become used to it and just be able to go oh well doesn't matter to another, I've seen it before, why am I getting, you know, why am I worried about it now or upset about it now because it is just like grawn dog day every year this, we don't do anything, you know we've, this competition's been horrible for Eviton throughout our life hasn't it, you know we've got the two finals in it, one we played three times and we're beating by Villa and the other one was Liverpool which went to replay back in 84 and we've not been in a league or finals since and it'd be quite often found ways to go out of it so I should just be able to go yeah oh well and I probably will tomorrow but right now it just feels a bit raw, disappointing to go out and the, the worst thing about it is I kind of knew it was going to happen and just had that feeling then hadn't he gone and shot early on didn't go in when it looked like he probably should score and just had that feeling and yeah and so yeah so I probably shouldn't be surprised so that's the first thing I just get my own moaning feelings out the way first. Second thing I want to talk about is some of those players you've played tonight the squad players as they're called um players who apparently are knocking on the door to try and get in Rafa Benitez his first team um I don't think any of them can go and seriously have a conversation with him and look him in the eye with any seriousness and say I think I should be in your team not one of them who come into the night John Joe Kenny not a chance the keeper no chance I mean he'll after play but when pickfords back and I hope it's soon he'll be back out I think the two centre backs as a pair in and a partnership I think Godfrey is struggling um there's reasons for the fact you know he's not been fit and coming back after Covid and all that so you can kind of overlook it we know that he was fantastic last season so he's just struggling at the minute to and he's got to try and play his way into you know fitness faced and foremost um Mason Holgate I don't know where we are with them at the minute still think there's a good defender in there in them but I don't know I don't think he knows um you know you're going to midfield Tom Davies who always backed always backed still will but I don't think he done enough tonight missed obviously missing the the penalty the decide on penalty which cost you know which ultimately has knocked us out doesn't really come into it so I'm not the game itself I don't think he was in the game enough he should have been bossing it I thought against Holdersfield he was excellent in that tie this one tonight it was in and out of it and he's a better player than that Tom Davies Gomez no shocking for me tonight pulling out of 50 50s um he should have been able to glide through that game um and then Antony Gordon who actually I thought Antony Gordon done okay to be fair I thought he was him and Andrew Samson with the bright spots um but yeah you just look through it and think you should be chomping at the bit to get your chance to go out and prove to everybody that you should be playing every week Alex O'Wobe he thought was poor um and he never yeah he just didn't and that's ultimately a frustrating for him a supporter because you want to see those players get their chance and play well to you know perform Premier League squad players apparently um getting done by a championship team and I don't even think it was QPR's first choice team either so there we go with this what it is third thing I want to talk about Andrew Samson let's finish on a high I thought he was excellent tonight I gave him man of the match in my instant match reaction because he was quite simply evidence best player tonight um and assist for Luca Dean and uh scored evidence equaliser was the the one who looked like if we were going to do anything it was him it was going to come from him work this socks off scored a penalty in the shootout as well it was up and down he's been excellent I thought he was he was the bright spark tonight it's a pity a few other players didn't take any influence from him any kind of inspiration from him and follow the example that he was setting by working on and getting in you know pressing closing down trying to make things happen too many of them just just ghost you know drifted through the game for me tonight but he was the real bright spark and you know from a free transfer I think he's been excellent forever and so far he's been really good value and hopefully he can continue that because you know he's one who you look for and think he can he can provide something him and the marry great but time's in for me tonight was the real bright spark so thought to finish on a positive on what is a disappointing night another disappointing night forever and certainly where the carabao cup is concerned that is if for me let me know what you think in the comments section below I'm sure you will anyway you might agree you might disagree you might think I'm overreacting I'm not ranting and raving it's just it just becomes a bit tiresome a bit boring that we just do the same thing all the time but I suppose when you look at it it is what it is we all knew I guess going into this season that this squad of players ain't good enough and you can probably get by with one or two of them if you've got your top full players out once you start putting four or five of them into quality drops ridiculously so and I guess that's where we are so there you go yeah give the video a thumbs up if you've enjoyed it subscribe if you haven't and check out all of the other match stuff see you later
