Is that the most changes ever from one game to the next?   Looks like we threw in the towel with regards to this cup before the start.Understandable considering fixtures coming up,but i think we should have made the supporters that travelled tonight  more aware that this would be a reserve fixture.

[Tally Ho]

No result yet on official twitter, game must have finished ten minutes ago. 

No seemgee in the house tonight either.

All over and despite a second half improvement, Ashford deservedly progress. Final score 0-2.

[OldTowner]

Disgraceful.

Supporters made the effort, ......... But the Club clearly, did not.

 

( not blaming those selected )

Totally agree on all points. That must be a first.

[Tango Man]

Your youngsters did you proud trying their best and making Ashford work hard for the victory. Nice to see you there and hope we looked after you o.k and you all had a safe journey back.

[MbrunoB]

I've seen far worse performances from a full first team and Ashford Town hospitality was top notch.

Have to agree. What is the point of us reaching a Cup Semi Final if we don't intend to win the competition?

[Tally Ho]

Tom ? 

[andyetfc]

So who sanctioned this?

[MbrunoB]

Have to agree. What is the point of us reaching a Cup Semi Final if we don't intend to win the competition?

Maybe that's why we lost the quarter final.

[lovely stuff]

Maybe we should treat the middlesex 'charity' cup as a reserve competition every season.Then put the first team out in all rounds of the  middlesex 'senior' cup?.That way everyone would know how we would be approaching the different competitions.Squad/youth players would get more chances to impress,and we would have a better chance of winning the Senior cup more often if the first team solely concentrated on that competition?

[Raingod]

My only gripe is not being aware we weren't taking a first team there. Living near Cambridge, I have to pick and choose what games I make it to, and this was not very enjoyable.

In addition, I persuaded my 80 year old father in law and 9 year old daughter to come .. having witnessed that they are probably less likely to come to an Enfield game in the future.

 

Great to see Ricky back from injury though!

[vauxhallman]

Exactly Andy who indeed sanctioned it,I bet we will never know.

It was a first team fixture 1/4 final of a cup and Ricky making his comeback after 6 months out with a very serious injury,so how do our management team react simple none of them showed up not even the Physio..

Very Poor i.m.o.

Listened to the manager talking after the grays game about the Ashford game and at no time did he say he would be fielding almost a team of under21 players.

I think this showed a total disregard to the competition and a total disregard to the fans that travelled to Ashford. 

But having said all that I am not blaming any of the players who pulled on the shirt Tuesday evening they gave there all.

Up The Town  

[littlehampton]

Maybe that's why we lost the quarter final.

Quite likely, but Quarter or Semi Final, there are still more questions than answers.

[andyetfc]

Same team had it been the final? Of course not.

 

LS. the reserves/ under 21s/ youth have their own cup competitions.
