We both keep on commenting about him Annis, it's a complete joke. That result is embarrassing.

That’s shameful.

Hopefully if BBM is looking to youth as much as possible, he can see the failings being made and make the right changes.

Re: Cardiff City Tonight:

Purse is still doing the best he can then.

That's a terrible result. No idea how he's still got the job.

Why does everyone hate Purse?? You are aware that 11 of our current first team squad came through the academy

That’s phenomenal and unheard of in my lifetime

Give the guy a break!!

That’s nothing to do with Purse, all he does is manage the team and doing it badly (they were better when Purse went to the first team).

True credit are to the coaches at the lower age levels and the scouts doing their job recruiting young talent well.

So your saving it the coaches in the lower age groups that take credit totally for the fact 11 of the academy players are in the first team squad 7 who could have played and one out on loan That Purse has had no input thou he has been hear for over 4 year But that the academy coaches have nothing to do with this defeat it is all Purse fault
Just does not make sense

The short sightedness regarding purse from our fans is incredible, it’s not all about results - his job is developing players .

The fact is that we were given a wild card, a free pass, into this competition because we are a professional club so yes, for me, this is extremely embarrassing.

There are teams, lower down the pyramid, who probably could have got a better result than we did and perhaps who next year might be more deserving of the wild card

Embarrassing
