Mason looked of the pace today. Has he been playing in U21's or just been on bench for weeks. Would be good to get him back up to speed.

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.

There's no money in the replay. The gate will be around 2.5K and prices will be reduced, and we only get around 40% of the gate money, it won't be much more than break even.

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.
Why is it cynical ?

Pull a big side in the draw. Make it some sort of priority after ST and Members "Ticket for the replay - priority for the game against x" and the attendance will swell.

Entertaining match. Could have easily won it if attempts by Godden, Shipley and Westbrooke had found the net. Rovers had a great attempt to make it 3-1 when the post saved us and that would have killed the game. Walsh was my MoM. Well taken first goal and forced the OG for the second goal. Still very scared when we play the ball across the back and it bit us in the arse today with a needless penalty. Also we still seem a little vulnerable against set pieces. They kept trying to earn free kicks to exploit this weakness and got a goal as well. Just like Ipswich we have to now play them again in the cup and league in relatively quick succession.

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.
Oh yes they did-forgot about that 1.

Great word for our style of play.

One of the posters on the Cov City fans forum on Farcebook reckons Dabo ''is fucking shit'' & ''doesn't know how he's playing football'' - when asked who he'd rather have at right back he said Marcus Hall

I swear half those posters are on the wind up. No one can be that thick and manage to operate a computer.

Thought we were by far the better team, defence not being at the races was the reason we didn't win comfortably. Rovers are just an athletic cynical team, can't see them making the playoffs at all.

There’s no way we’d be able to afford him anyway
I can't believe any team that does more scouting than 'look at player in league below that has scored goals' is going to pay any significant money for him.

Can see it going sour there, he wants to move to get himself at the higher level and increase his bank balance but if they're only getting offers of £500k they aren't going to want to sell. He's going to rock the boat to get a move.

Not gonna get too down about the result. Another Decent Performance at a fairly hoodoo ground. Step in right direction for the league encounter here. After our previous shocking results and performances here.

At home cut out the mistakes and the mistakes and the 4th rd should be formality. We hope.
