Out of the Carling Cup

Fairly predictable exit from the Carling Cup this evening, losing 3-1 in extra time at Luton. From the BBC London commentary it sounded encouraging enough, in that we created plenty of chances to have won the game, but were second best on the evidence of the play and it was no surprise to see Luton go ahead and win it in extra time.

Dean Sinclair scored his first for Charlton and Harry Arter made his debut. Plenty of other positives although the number of good chances we squandered sounded disappointing.

No point dwelling on any of this, another game would have been a useful option for a maturing squad of players and maybe a money-spinner at home, but it would still have been a distraction from the day job this season which has to be a near total focus on winning league games. This defeat will quickly be forgotten if we can get something at Coventry on Saturday.
