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.

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.

Still in the hat. Ill take it

Walsh brill. Must keep him

Wake up call for the defence
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!

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

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

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.

We wpildnt be 3rd without playing from back tho

Todays mistake was just rly bad control. I am sure robins will continue working on it and set pieces

We dont lose many these days. We can win replay. Looking forward to thw draw. Week to rest now before mk dons. Squad mostly fit now

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.

Replay not ideal.
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.
