Hmm, for the first time in 3 seasons I thought I would have a good chance of getting past the first set of games in the cup. I was drawn against a team 2 levels higher than me although my quality was almost 2Q better. On looking at his team he only had 2 players lined up in his first 11.

The game starts and he is a no show, while having 7 players out of position.

I've just lost the game 2-1.

Nice start to the season with the troll results!

In theory if he doesn't return then I should easily win the second leg with a superior team against out of position lower quality, but for some reason I'm not holding out much hope.
