m_fenton Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm playing as Cambridge United, just promoted to League 2. In the Second Round of the League Cup I played EPL Bolton away from home. Amazingly I managed to draw 2-2 in normal time thanks to a dramatic last minute equaliser. My players completely ran out of stamina in extra time and the final score was 5-2 to bolton. I continued, after telling my boys I was proud of their effort, only to find the fans were disappointed with the result! To me this seems completely wrong. A League 2 team just took an EPL team to extra time away from home - as a Cambridge United fan myself I'd be delighted if we managed it in real life. What I suggest is that in cup games with the possibility of extra time (particularly involving vastly differing sides), more emphasis is put on milestones like making it to extra time or penalties, since losing 5-2 in extra time is actually closer to winning than losing 3-2 in 90 minutes.

cap'njack Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I had a very similar issue when I played Sunderland away in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Lost 5-0 and then the fans and board said they were very dissatisfied loosing the match. I was pleased to just keep it down to 5! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
