Will happily take defeat and an exit from this cup

Couldn't be less interested in this game ,

Good opportunity to get back on the horse 5-0. 

2000 on max

Evatt will know a poor result/performance will be used as another stick to beat him with, he'll pick a strong team to avoid a 3rd straight defeat, especially with no game for ages, he'll want to be reflecting on a win for 10 days not 3 defeats.

If Evatt picks a team to satisfy disgruntled fans it is a rocky road. Riga would be club captain. 

Would have gone to this but after yesterday I really can't be arsed. I might wobble about half six on Tuesday but probably not.

Not saying he's picking a team to satisfy fans, just that he'll want to win the game more than he might have done if we'd won yesterday.  He knows if he loses its "3 straight defeats".  So he won't be taking a long term view of let's rest players/give kids a run out/this cup doesn't matter like he might have done if everything was going well.  I could be wrong of course 😀 

Fortunately or unfortunately for the deceased I’m at funeral in the afternoon, so will give the game a swerve.

It will be like a graveyard anyway. 

There's more chance of me giving cheese a reach around than me going this

Problem is if he picks a strong side and we get beat it could get worse for Evatt

And we’ll probably hear sound bites like “It was important we go into the break with a win, the lads needed to put Saturday behind them, they had to prove Saturday is not who we are, that was more like us” etc etc

When really it will just be a other win against Fleetwood in a meaningless game, which proves nothing really.

Throw it

everyones ill, can we reschedule it?

Send one of the coaches to stand on the touchline. Seems he can't be arsed taking training, why bother with matches?

5-0 win or something . Lose against Blackpool

Rinse and repeat

Just do an Estonia, and not turn out.

Walk over for them, fine for not playing ill, half hearted players.

 

I'm more out than @Big E for this one.

It lasted that long?

Did he miss the target, and there was no one to take the goal kick?😁

Cheers for sharing.

As always, in my point of view, his more considered interviews are ok.

There is no way of sugar coating, excusing or passing off a defeat like Saturday. And to be fair he doesn’t try to.

I’m not trying to say that everything in the last 4/5 pages of the Brand Evatt thread should be dismissed or that the pendulum should swing to giving him a chance.

 

Just simply, that if there is any way to front up after a 5-0 defeat then that wasn’t a bad effort.
