Get in! After not winning since March away we’ve now won three on the bounce, at the top two at the time and now a side a league above.

1 loss in 10, need to keep it up.

Saw it out without any more drama bar a worrying looking injury to Frear. Hope it wasn't as bad as it sounded.

 

[Bottega Don]

Shite draw yet again the FA Cup and we lose, what a shock.

Was never a 4-1 game, could have easily ended 2-2 if we finished a gilt-edged chance just before the end. Two goals at the end flattered Crawley.

Not sure we will ever win an away game again

 

[Buxton Vale]

Great win, and a third succesive away victory. Heres hoping for a favourable draw on monday.

 

[The_Boss]

An hour since the 1st half finished and still no news. Accrington want it to be re arranged we obviously don't.

Just said on soccer saturday the 2nd half will kick off at 10 past 5

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Great effort from Vale, see Darlo nicked a late late equaliser at Walsall.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Draw see what Monday brings, which should determine what team we put out for the replay.

Not bad considering injuries, Vaughan might have gone off injured as well, it’s crazy tbh.

 

[Crewelad87]

Game is going to resume at 5:10 pm, with just one linesman running 1 half the pitch. A toss of the coin to determine which half. Never heard anything like this.

Chris Porter will be picking his lips if he's get the half with no lino, he's always offside

No giantkillings in the FA Cup so far but some late drama.

Carlisle, Mansfield and FGR overcome non-league opposition though Mansfield needed a late goal to snatch a narrow win while Carlisle and FGR found the going much easier. Other non-league teams were knocked out by League One opposition or were competing in all non-league ties.

Walsall thought they'd broken Darlington hearts with a dramatic last minute turnaround in a match that finished 10-a-side before conceding a late late equaliser and now face a replay up in Darlo.

All League Two matches yield 3 replays with late equalisers for Cambridge at Exeter and Newport at Grimsby. Cheltenham also score a late equaliser against Swindon following what Swindon fans thought was a late winner. Crawley were the only League Two team to beat League Two opposition, with a comfortable win against Scunny.

Among those League Two teams facing League One opposition; Plymouth and Port Vale both go away from home and beat teams struggling in the league above while as things stand, Crewe lead Accrington. Stevenage and Salford both earn replays while Colchester and Morecambe are knocked out.

Well deserved win for us. Had to hold firm against some pressure from MK at start of second half but overall a very good effort from Vale. We look so much improved as a team now.

Seem to be a million miles away from the dross we’ve had to endure the last two seasons! We only need 8 points to be on the tally we had at the start of March!

Fancied us today after last week with MK being in poor form and thankfully pulled it out the bag.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Would have thought there was someone less than an hour's drive away up in the northwest.

Indeed, my dad did an FA cup game once with about twenty minutes notice, by pure chance he did not have a game that day.

Who remembers Jimmy Hill coming on to run the line? I knew the other Lino, and he was not complimentary about Jimmy.

I am pretty sure I had an old colleague who was in the crowd at Charlton, and they answered the call when an official went down.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Couple of those replays are good news for us in the league too.

can't argue with that form....good to see you bauys becoming competitve again

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Solid win at Bolton. Callum McFadzean with the goal.

 

[Crewelad87]

2 up now and Accrington down to 10 men, looking good. Our away form this season is exceptional. I'm actually hoping for an away game next round.

Aye quite fancied us too. I think with MK I will be amazed if they are not back in League 2 next year. Got absolutely nothing about them at all. If they do survive can only guess there’s some serious dross in the league above.

Got to agree with that. Two sides who will not be troubling league one anytime soon. Neither looked as though they had a plan, neither looked as though they had heard of organisation. The weather was awful but the pitch was perfectly playable. No excuses for the level of performance from both sides.

The third was a lovely run with the ball and lay off by Camara. Best bit of play all day.

good to win though!

Fuck!! We've beaten a league team in the t'FA Cup!!
Not seen that for a LONG time.
York City next please (assuming they beat Altrincham) - home or away.

 

[Sussexred]

Quote comfortable in the end,scunny were awful. Hope for another home draw.

 

[Crewelad87]

Seen plenty of comments on social media from Accrington fans saying things like "shouldn't be losing to teams like Crewe" and "embarrassing to get knocked out by Crewe" these smaller clubs that have been promoted soon develop a Billy big bollox mentality, embarrassing really when there crowd barely got a 1000 fans after taking off the away fans.

 

[AdamStag]

Felt sorry for Chorley.

Plucky side, absolutely hopeless at everything - playing mansfield who were well, absolutely hopeless at everything in turn.

What a complete shitshow of a performance by us, glad we’re not in the bananarama league any longer as we’d get shafted each week.

Lovely fans in the club bar, wish Chorley and their fans all the best going forward

 

[dedwardp]

We were poor today, but Coventry looked a class above to be fair. We had some nice possession at times but rarely looked threatening, and the second goal was killed it off when Gerken misjudged a free-kick, left it to go wide and it just nestled in the bottom corner.

2-0 flattered us though really.

Yep you totally outplayed us, only complaint that could be levelled at you is that you didn’t get the second goal to kill it off. But we didn’t really get in your box all game let alone look like scoring - our two shots were an ambitious overhead kick and a scuff which your keeper fumbled through. You were excellent, we were awful and a replay is undeserved.

But I’ve got to say, I did go a bit nuts at the equaliser. Our season is probably dead without a cup run. And we were shite today but we’re capable of anything on the day, particularly away from home. The replay is winnable, even if it’s a ball ache of a journey.

 

[leedsvaliant]

We were excellent first half and should have been 2 or 3 to the good. The second half Mk had loads of possession but it was that possession for possession sake stuff that I hate. Their manager said they dominated for the most part... Dominating possession is not dominating! How many saves did Brown have to make... Two? I can't stand this playing it across the back and then playing it back again. Football is about scoring goals, not keeping possession!! Glad to be in round two.

Any Salford fans on here?

I went today and was shocked at how many tourists where there in the home ends. Seems full of united fans disillusioned with their team.
Facilities are wank and they don't cope well with any sort of following - and we only took 700.
Still has a feel of been a non league club.

There was one but he hasn't been seen since before the start of the season and was probably just Son of Cod or someone like that

We sold out their away end and it was absolutely woeful, a couple of portaloos for 1400 or whatever it was we took.
