We looked off the pace today. First half we could hardly string 2 passes together.

You reckon? Apart from after their second goal we were pinging it around nicely I thought.

Replay not ideal.

Well I guess we’re still in the draw which is a plus but the negative is we didn’t really want a replay. That said, there was only really one team looking to try and win it in the 2nd half which was obviously us and I can only remember them having a half chance where they flicked one over the bar and a couple of corners.
A defensive mix up and a set piece tells its own story. Shame we couldn’t have won it with Welsh's header or O’Hare’s shot that just creeped past the post or the Godden chance in the last minute although the keeper done well.
Another decent away performance though.

Should've won but we'll beat them at home. They're really not a very good team.

Yep.

He has to live with both managers in a bed and breakfast until the replay too.

God should have won it at the end. And Walsh header oh dear. Replay it is. Fancy us to turn them over at 'home'

They hit the post with a long range effort too, but yes we were the better team. You'd back Godden to have scored his 90th minute chance in the form he's in.

Frustrating game. We were clearly a class above Bristol and had 3/4 clear cut chances for at least another goal.

Really should have won that, better side throughout. Need to concentrate defensively as we'll go nowhere giving away goals as bad as we have in the last 3 games

For all that I agree with you, fact is we still have one of the meanest defences.

First half we kept trying to do mid range passes to the final 3rd and they cut out every single one of them.

Pissing about with it at the back AGAIN to concede another pen. They really have learnt nothing from their previous mistakes, and this sort of thing will be the difference between promotion and not!

WHY - when so much of our impressive play has come from pass and move stuff?

It’s the price you pay. We also draw out teams and cut through them going forward because of it. Nothing in isolation.

Would have thought their keeper was the MoM which says it all.

Not ideal but are favourites now. Positives are that came back twice, refused to get bullied by a side cynical at times and when able to play looked dangerous. Negatives: two sloppy goals conceded and could have been 1 or 2 more.

But got to be satisfied that we haven’t been beaten away over Xmas and new year. Hopefully a decent away 4th round draw to come and then beat these in the replay. More importantly a good run on league through January and February

It’s not the price you pay. You play the balk out when you can and your not pressed. It’s idiotic to do it when we did and it was a joke goal

No he isn't, they've barely had any proper attacks apart from the goal
Click to expand...

Agree to disagree then, he gave away a silly foul to get booked and let them put a ball in the box. His booking meant he couldn’t put anymore tackles in. He gave away two freekicks in their half and stopped two of our attacks.

Good second half. Great ball for the goal.

They just played for free kicks out wide to swing into the box. A cynical tactic, but I guess it worked for them. We look vulnerable to high balls in the box, but hey, at least we play sumptuous footy when we get the ball.

No idea really. Wonder if it was due to them trying the high press on us

We need as much money as we can get. Promotion isn't a given.

It was a great game, we should have won. Lets stay positive. A cup run can spark a promotion run.

Stay positive folks.
