Credit to them.

Like us, been through an awful lot of rubbish and had the day of their lives today. A proper away end where everyone is up for it. Reminiscent of our days at Notts County, MK Dons, Man United and even the ones like Southampton last season that we've lost where we've taken big numbers. The support was brilliant. Far better than the rubbish noise you hear from Championship away sides. Didn't see a French flag either, unlike Swansea and Cardiff.

The documentary is a good watch and the Hollywood riches are trying to do it right. We have spent 15+ years dreaming of a similar takeover. Who knows if Doug will provide us with the resources but we will have to hope.

It won't be long till they are in the Championship if the owners keep pumping the resources in.

Proper club - they have been non-league for far too long, which is now being put right by good management (haven't seen the docu). Hope to see them in 2nd/3rd tier soon. The big problem they have is that, despite no rival teams in north Wales, they are totally overshadowed by the Manchester and Merseyside teams, with most people locally supporting Man U and Liverpool in particular. That puts a ceiling on their potential but they shouldn't have been 5th tier for 15 years.

Great result for them, and their fans were really impressive, they travelled in big numbers for a game that was live on TV.

They got lucky playing a team with a gimp in goal and a centre half who is better with his hands than with his feet or head.
But they had more fight and spirit than we did, and deserved the result. Good luck to them in the next round.

Absolutely shocking defending, goal keeping and a penalty. That’s how they scored 4.

If you put good crosses into a defence that can't defend crosses eventually you will score. Ok, the second was a fluke but if you don't try you don't score. Their conversion rate was better than ours.

See, the thing is, Bristol City did just that for 2 fixtures and we coped with them fine.

Yup. Although rather than crosses I think it was more just a high ball…they were kinda agricultural. That first goal was v. good though.

Have to laugh at a few comments on their website saying we had our first team out though.

If only they knew we have 12/13 fit full professionals.

Fair play to them. For the first half and a bit I thought they looked the more dangerous side (partly because of our inability to defend) and they came to have a proper go. They didn't just score and sit back.

Only when we'd pretty much got our first team on and they were getting tired did they really look under pressure, and having the extra man probably was the difference between us going on to complete the comeback.

Watching some of their crossing and forwards getting in the area to get on the end of them was stuff I'd love to see us be able to do. Some of it was basic and agricultural, like the long throws, but they were effective, so why not? Last ten minutes we were pretty much just lumping it forward and hoping Gyok's extra quality won out.

Fair play to em, there fans deserve it.they had a plan it worked because we were shite for an hour ,we looked nieve and clueless.
The last 30 mins we looked the opposite and should have drew the tie.
