If Tresor was much cop we'd have won that 3-2.

Re: The SUPER CLARETS vs Cardiff City - MATCH THREAD (Carabao Cup)

Starts and ends with scott parker that. Formation, tactics, team selection (well bench) and subs. Dont get me wrong 99% of the players (Hanibal aside) didnt look like they could be bothered, neither did us as a fan base, but Parker was fundamentally at fault.
