Not overly fussed that we are out of the cup, more worried about the chances Magennis has missed this season. He will be the reason we fail to get promoted, no technique or quality infront of goal at all
I went to Scunthorpe last Saturday and I thought we played well at times only to lose to a couple of wonder goals. Yesterday we had far to many players not performing at their best. Sarr and Konsa do not look a good pairing we need Pearce back asap to organise the back four. Marshall still flatters to deceive and at the moment doesn't look as good as Fosu. Magennis looked awful yesterday and missed another easy chance. He badly needs a rest.
Lets hope a few players return for Portsmouth and Karl can get a result to get us back on track.

I was wondering who we should all blame should we not get promoted this season and now we have the answer. It's all Josh's fault so just blame everything on him. The missed chances by other players, the defensive and midfield errors that cost us goals time and time again and any goalkeeping errors that cost us goals are all down to him . Nobody else has to assume any responsibility whatsoever for our failing to go up. Football is such a simple game to work out isn't it. Can't understand why I was making it so difficult.
Also I think it's only fair to blame Josh for the injuries to key in-form players that we have suffered recently. Why should he be allowed to get away with that one?
I can never ever get my head around the 'oh well its only the cup' or 'it doesnt matter, we can concetrate on league', or 'cant be bothered with cup' attitude - it really bugs me - i really hope Wimbledon are drawn away to Spurs today, then what will these idiots say?

I totally agree. Robinson said before the game that the next important game is the Portsmouth game. I am sorry but that sends out the wrong message. The FA Cup is important. Winning is a habit and if we won I think it would have given us confidence for the Portsmouth game. We have not won for a few games now and it is going to be hard against Portsmouth.
2 sides to every coin. Yes, a cup run breeds confidence & winning is a habit BUT we have a very thin squad & more games might mean more injuries....it also means more postponed league games & then playing catch up for the rest of thd season. I'm not defending Magennis but I doubt if there are any other main strikers in this league (or any other) that has had to play every minute of every game - he doesn't even get the luxury of being subbed with 10 mins to go, but KAG did & he's hardly played this season. Yesrerfay's substitution should have been Best for Magennis.
Oh well, its ok then that we dont play at Wembley in next round because we *might* have more injuries and we dont want the players to get too tired. What a piss-poor attitude.Might as well give up now.
The defending from Konsa for the first goal is absolute school boy stuff. Shocking miss from Mag aswel. Honestly think our season could fall apart in the next 6 weeks. Al though we haven't lost many recently , we haven't looked that good have we , and a few injuries to key players will massively effect us
Another reason which is good we are out of the cup is that if. We get a big home tye say man city at home and it's on the telly. Then Roland gets more money in his back pocket.
All academic but I'd be happy if we had a big draw at home, regardless where the income went.
Why does Magennis play every possible minute? He’s never subbed let alone left out of the starting eleven. Why put Dodoo on the bench when he’ll never come on? Why only 6 subs? A youngster could have had a taste of first team experience. KAG looks most likely to chances ( 2 in 2 ) so he’s got to start. Unless things dramatically improve we’ll be out of the playoffs come January. That’s not being negative, just realistic!

Because he's important to help defend set-pieces, I think.
Presumably Lennon came on very late yesterday so that he could be one of the qualifying players at Swansea.

I was wondering about that, did someone pull out at the last minute as it seemed odd not to have another body on the bench, even for the experience of listening to Robinson shouting at the players and officials
Watching the goals back I thought Dijksteel was fouled for the penalty. The attacker took his legs away. For the first goal Konsa should have cleared it, but I've noticed Amos is often a bit slow to come off his line.
For their second goal, the linesman was flagging, but the ref played on. Perhaps a couple of our players stopped playing momentarily. Bit blinkin' stoopid of them really.
Since the great win away at Bradford in late October, reality has set in. We all knew that the squad lacked depth and once injuries started to happen the weaknesses would start to show. Well know the weaknesses are really apparent. We are struggling to score, conceding silly goals and generally looking average, unfortunately not a team that is good enough for promotion.
Obviously Roland must shoulder most blame for not reinvesting some of the Lookman money back into the team, but having said that Robinson was given funds in the summer, which enabled him to bring in Fosu, Reeves, Clarke and Marshall. The obvious glaring omission was the failure to have a second decent forward in the squad. I don’t know what exactly happened with Novak but he if he was looking to leave and move back up north Robinson would have known this and should have had a contingency plan in place. His failure to address the Novak situation and failing to bring in a suitable replacement has forced Magennis to play as a lone striker, a role he is clearly not good at.
I am depressed about the situation and I don’t think that we are not good enough to even make the play offs. Sadly I cannot see any light on the horizon, just more doom and gloom!
Absolute dump of a ground with the biggest bunch of c**ty stewards you will ever see. They were doing their upmost best to cause agro for some reason. Every season they are the same.
Posting without going, reading any previous comments or watching any highlights ... is anyone remotely surprised we lost. We don’t do cups. The number of ‘cup’ runs we’ve had over the last 50 years you can count on 2 hands. Would much prefer that we beat them in the league just to give us a shot of getting out of this goddam league

I can't speak for everyone, but from what I saw & heard is was 6 of one & half a dozen of the other. There were a number of blokes that came in just as we kicked-off & made a point of arguing with the steward in front of us as he wouldn't let them stand where the wanted to, ie at the front in the yellow hatched area. Also another steward took some banter with good humour - always good & bad on both sides.
It is a nightmare of a ground. The rake of the terrace only goes up about 6 or 7 steps and away fans only get half of one side. Saying that, Me & Golfie Jnr managed to get a half decent view, and at least could see both goalmouths very clearly...........although after 80 mins we wished we hadn't

One good win and you'll be fine ;-)
I hope that you are correct.
Lets hope it's against Portsmouth we could all do with a bit of a lift.

Yesterday was very poor, and probably least enjoyable match I have attended in a long time.
Only positives which I can think off; KAG scoring again & Harry Lennon's goal.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think we had a chance after going to 2-
1 down. The lack of fight in the second half was concerning.
Another big miss from Josh, I can't remember Leon Best doing much after he came on.
Awful Awful place.

Shit draw.
Shit performance.
Shit result.
