Sorry to differ, but I’m glad we’re out of it...... 1st option.

The remote chance of making £200,000 from a tie against one on the ‘big boys’ does not compare with the chance of making £40 million for promotion to the Premiership.

I don't know but I bet there are 11,000 people ( some who have paid £15 each for a ticket) very annoyed at the moment.

But with our squad this year, promotion is very unlikely, and a unrealistic target IMO. We should be making the most of a cup run.

Isn't that exactly what we were saying at the start of last season?

Are you saying that just because Joe played an inferior team that we now have a chance of promotion? We should always play to win, and that means playing the best team available.

yeah but if he played our best team then people would be calling for the Youngsters to be getting a game. The guy cant win !!

I wasnt at tonights match due to work. I came back and saw the score on ceefax and wasnt really bothered at all. i know its been said but the league is the most important thing. If we pick up any more injuries then things really will be at crisis point.

So you wouldn't want to see Ipswich in a cup tie against someone like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United?

Surely every Town fan would want Ipswich to have won tonight? A cup tie against one of them would probably bring in enough money to pay for a loan signing during the season.

I’m not sure about that, Paul. The numbers were very sparse at the start of last season too, that’s why we had to bring in star names like Tony Dinning and Jamie Scowcroft .

Indeed, we also tried to give Shefki away on two occasions early last season. That just shows what Joe thought of him at that stage.

So you think our squad at the moment is capable of a third place finish again Sid?.

Sure a tie against those would be great but the chances of getting them are very slim and we'd most probably lose to their reserve team anyway. Hardly a money spiner.

All of the big sides will put out 2nd maybe even 3rd string sides, i don't believe it would be as big a money spinner as it would be if it was in the FA cup. I would've liked us to win tonight, but i'm not too disappointed. It allows us to concentrate on the league which is the most important thing to us at the moment.

Yeovil to their credit played and battled well and probably deserved their win. I dont see it as dispicable though, we tried and experimented and failed. How else are we meant to see these different players in a competitive game?!

If I want to see Ipswich play Arsenal or Chelsea, Paul, I’ll go along to watch the reserve game against them. I would see the same opposition as I would in the Carling Cup.

Yes, I did want Ipswich to win, of course I did. But I’m not bitterly disappointed by being out of the competition.

Thats what reserve matches have always been for I believe?

So you're saying its ok that we have lost as long as we experimented?

Reserve matches? What sort of a competitive match is that? Aidan Collins was quoted saying how he was looking forward to playing in a competitive match. That coming from a regular in the Reserve team, go figure Paul!

I'm NOT saying it's okay we've lost I'm just saying we should look at the positives and maybe even credit our opponents Yeovil who played and defended very well. Oh but obviously you can't do that as you didn't go so I don't think you're qualified to make rash statements on the back of just looking at the result on paper.
