Like to thank Doug King for basically telling Robins we'd rather that than the yearly humiliation.

Doug King is running the place properly. Win the game and it’s an opportunity to earn more money in the next round.

Tavares looked exactly the same as before his injury TBH. Fast but not very good.

Looked like someone who hadn't played in a year to be fair. Made a couple of poor decisions, couple of poor touches. Not much more to say. He has some pace though!

 

[Covcraig@bury]

I would keep Godden he knows where the back of the net is .
I felt for Simms , he’s just not getting the rub of the green but his work rate . Palmer MOTM . Great energy great game and what a goal .
the whole team played with ease .
Bring on the Inbreds we will destroy them .

 

[Johhny Blue]

I want an easy tie like Sunderland next round.
Oh wait a minute……. Just watched their highlights. And we thought Oxford’s goals were gifts.

Agreed, he definitely needs that loan, but ultimately I think he'll move on at the end of the season.

 

[baldy]

Godden really looked pissed off right from the start when warming up TBH.

He'd probably just found out about @alexccfc99 not planning to go to the replay if there would've been one

 

[skybluecam]

What was with the lack of celebration from Godden? Just down to the scoreline or is he unhappy?

I assumed it was just due to it being the 5th and 6th goals against a lower league side. Don’t think we need to read anything into it?

Yeah but he looked like that before he was injured.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Nice of the players to try desperately to give Simms a goal too. Genuinely

 

[Cally Fedora]

As a group of fans we’ve sat through enough dreadful cup performances so more than happy with that. 6-2, into the draw, some good performances and some minutes for those who needed it. Excellent.

 

[Grendel]

Just because it is our player (for now), doesn't mean I can pretend to like a certain kind of penalty. It's also fair to question why our underperforming striker who could do with some confidence isn't given the chance to take it.

Or we can just shut the forum down and live in silence...

It’s a pretty strange take - the penalty was expertly executed - simms isn’t a registered charity - he can score goals from open play to boost confidence

 

[TomRad85]

Didn't think Tavares was that bad, just probably not our level is he. Unlike some of our younger players who have gone on to have unspectacular non league careers I do think he'll probably do pretty well in league 2 or something.

Oxford fans in meltdown saying they’re awful and Wilson should have saved their goals

 

[glasgowfan]

Newcastle have just beat Sunderland 3-0, that means we're as good as Newcastle

You mean Newcastle are as good as us!

 

[Tommo1993]

Of all the glamorous ties we could get, people want Leicester or Villa.

Stop the obsession.

I mean to be fair he should have, but he was trying to be kind.

 

[Noble]

Interesting body language from Godden, adds to the rumours a bit!

It isn't a strange take at all. Palmer scored so you are on the hunt with other posters.

Im not on the hunt for anybody - it was a clever penalty well executed

 

[steve cooper]

Godden coming on and getting 2 goals in 25 minutes is most likely going to have a negative effect on Simms' confidence and state of mind Unfortunately.

Say something nice. Go on I dare ya

 

[SkyblueTexan]

We could have scored 10 , felt a bit for Sims, great assist and keeper stopped him twice with decent saves. Thought Wilson went down like a sack of spuds for their 2 Nd goal. Yes Tavares first game back ,but his first touch reminds me of a cement mixer.

Problem with Simms is he always hits his shot very flat and low to the ground. He should’ve lifted the ball over the keeper

 

[Grendel]

I have - I said the penalty was well executed as oddly it was

 

[Ashdown]

Delighted and proud all round. It makes a change to look like a pretty classy side in the cup . Very comfortable on the ball all over the pitch !

Yeah - Let's get another chance at those bastards, Luton.
And at their place!

 

[Tommo1993]

There’s being gracious and there’s plain bullshitting. Why do people do it? The gulf was massive.

 

[Grendel]

Maidstone at home is the perfect draw

 

[Johhny Blue]

OK. I’ll give you that as nice. I’m just surprised to see you on here after a win

Strange comment

Looked like he was ready to cry for his second goal

 

[Jamesimus]

Oxfords game plan was all wrong.

Did their manager look at the way that we play, particularly at home? Personally think they should have set-up to frustrate us and let us pass the ball around the back.

Instead they had a go right from the very start and we exploited the space left behind.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Hope their lad who went off is ok, looked really nasty.

 

[Jamesimus]

Maidstone at home is the perfect draw

Newcastle St.James’ Park
If i keep saying it, it will happen.

My understanding was also that Ox didn't have its full strength team either, and a key player omitted from lineup due to presumed transfer forthcoming. I only took a brief glance through their forum though

I hope not. Could Godden have created Sheaf's goal? No way!

Simms is doing fine, he's a good part of a team. The goals will come.
