QPR was our first competitive game and we lost just like we lost our first competitive game last season.
The difference between this seasons loss and last seasons loss is that last season we didn’t deserve to lose and we played well. This year we deserved to lose to a much worse team than WBA and the performance was terrible.
QPR was not our first competitive game as we played the same way as we did against Barnsley (yes I’m a mug who paid to watch both games) with a different team. So by all accounts it’s just an extension of pre season friendlies. Will this now be the case for every game we lose because we certainly were not competitive against QPR
Where would this additional cup run money have come from? There are no ticket sales and progression to the next round yields a relative pittance (part of the reason the league cup is way down the list of priorities).
We are probably better off financially for not having a cup run.
