FA CUP - 1st Round

[GTFCfish]

We’ve missed a pen again and had about 45 shots cleared off the line, 90th minute Wealdstone winner is written in the stars.

For what is nowhere near our first and probably second choice starting midfield we are well in the game. Barnsley had most of the early running but we’ve grown into the game especially since the equaliser. If can take the game deep there are some good subs to call on.

What are the lottery numbers mate?

Stinker from Grimsby that

Beat Aldershot 3-1.

 

[Master D]

Artell has been on the ropes ever since he lost about 6-0 in his first home match, new managers never have stuff like that happening to them. Simply never going to work with him at Grimsby seeing as they lose every week at home.

Carlisle done as good as they can for a side doing so badly playing a side a league higher and down to 10 men after 15 minutes of the game.

Even if they lose it’s a good morale boosting performance.

Weird club Barnsley. Their fans were celebrating like they'd won the thing. Their first team just beat essentially a reserve team from the league below. No sleep lost from me, we're not going to win it and it's turned into a shite competition that gets in the way of what really matters.

Special mention to the ref who was spectacularly awful and couldn't wait to give them a pen. It wasn't.

Job done, another brace for Grigg and 25 mins for Fleck. Jacobs MOTM.

Horsham looked a solid & organised unit too, not surprised to see they’d won 6 on the bounce before this, but as expected we had complete control over the game for the 90 and always felt we had extra gears if needs be.

Some interesting scorelines, fat lad at Rotherham days are numbered IMO.

Sounds a fair appraisal of everything

Careful, the gills lads will have a thread made for you with posts like that

Bath City.
Salisbury City.
Wealdstone.

Get in there we’ve completed the non league set.

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

We played a full strength side at home against an Oldham team in the league below, missing/resting players and with huge ex Tranmere connections. They played us off the park second half. Adkins' position was already bordering on untenable, but he should resign tonight after that - we couldn't even string two passes together. Mellon and Norwood in particular behaved with great class and dignity, whereas I've no idea what our lot were even doing half the time.

Should have been about 7-0 first half . Fair play to them hope they get a good draw .

What happens now by the way? Usually it's the first round where we surrender, so this is a new experience.

Cup competition twins, same here

Cup competition twins, same here

Which means we'll probably draw each other!

Bloody love the FA Cup

 

[saddler78]

We deserved that thought we were the better team overall today against a pretty much full strength Bolton team if I'm not mistaken? Jamie Jellis what a player he's become this season outstanding again.

 

[valefan16]

Not bothered as I said pre game, sounds like we gave it a decent go despite our changes. Big worry is Garrity and Croasdale as we look like we’ve lost all three of our big midfielders for a while.

I saw somewhere that Evans' odious sidekick was due to do post match comms.

 

[Spireitelass97]

Well same with me in higham, of course i wasn’t going to look in the opposite direction of the A61

That’s definitely Chesterfield

 

[Spireitelass97]

Well… that’s stronger than expected. Markanday obv not been allowed to play by Blackburn which is worrying for when Jan comes around…

I thought exactly that. Will be gutted if he goes back in Jan

Agree with Jacobs MOTM

 

[Stocky]

Looks like I've got the Artell stuff bang on. Awful result that at home to Wealdstone. Only wins when he parks the bus away from home.

Will be blow but today I thought Sang was excellent, the ref was spectacularly one sided but Barnsley were the better side .

 

[JJ1990]

Rubbish performance from Crewe Alex. Dag & Red wanted it more, played the better football and in the end fully deserved their win. Manager sending out mixed messages about focusing on this game, yet resting a couple of players and seemingly managing the minutes of several others. Just an all round painful day and another non-league upset to add to our ever growing list since 2004.
