If he had stayed his entire career with us he would have been a legend, especially if he had captained us back into the Prem and kept us there till retirement.

Not sure how the Downes transfer would make that any better, we're losing one very good midfielder and signing one good midfielder, our second team is the same and our first team is weaker.

If we're forcing him out the door for £30million then that's a terrible business decision. Think it's a terrible decision anyway.

What a crap transfer. Could have been a true legend, now (in my eyes) he'll never quite be remembered at that level. Hope they get relegated next season anyway and we go past them in the opposite direction. Pisses me off that we'll have to watch him break the free kick record in another teams shirt though.

They made 5 changes.

Looking forward to seeing Martin's attitude towards this in the interview.

3-1, Alcaraz. Commentator said he scored past Alex McCarthy? Was it an own goal? 😂

Is there much booing/abuse? How many do you reckon have left, 25%?

We're getting Ole'd, losing 3-0, to league two Gillingham.

Perraud at CB? A midget fullback who was always better at attacking than defending?

So what actually was the formation at kick off then?

We're losing 3-0 to a league 2 team. If this isn't the time to show how pissed off you are by booing I don't know what is.

😂😂😂😂 Fuck off.

Neil Harris won the mind games here, made us believe they were resigned to a loss and we turned up expecting it to be a walk in the park.

Fucking hell lads.

Guess we're throwing this game to focus on the league.

These EFL cup rules are such fucking bollocks, can't even listen to the online radio feed on solent.

Guarantee you no Premier League side has ever played a first choice player in this competition.

Adams to score 2 or more is 8/1 on Ladbrokes.

It's possible Martin just has a different philosophy on squad rotation to our previous managers.

Adams captain and not Armstrong is interesting...a sign that he's staying?

Nothing. Very hard indeed.

Is the team news not normally an hour beforehand?

Would have stayed up if we got the managerial appointment right when we sacked Ralph, or changed in the summer and got it right then. Jones was an outright disaster - even Selles might have kept us up if he had the fixtures available to him that Jones had.

Well lets wait and see the lineup...
