Is it the team that won three and drew one of the first four-or the team that won once in the next eight-or the team that then won five on the bounce before Wednesday-or the team that has put in the last two performances??....................only i'm getting a bit confused.

Sorry but that was shocking today. If JJ had took his chance instead of passing we'd now be out on our arses. If the players don't get a tongue lashing they bloddy well should. Ok, they defended in numbers and did a good job too but we seemed lackluster and devoid of all inspiration. Lets hope the Managers sort it out, i can put up with poor shifts in a cup match but not in the league. There we need to be playing well and pushing for top spot.

Dismal, And i payed a tenner to watch it. I really dont know who the idiot is me or the 11 players.

How did Suarez play ?. .
Is he really worth holding on to ..??

It doesn't make sense to say we could be out based on a Quorn gilt-edged chance when we had three of them... If Suarez's header had dropped an inch lower, if Churchy hadn't deflected a goal-bond header over in the first half or blasted over in the second then we'd calling it an ugly performance but one that delivered the end result.
I thought it was a very open first half... Second half was flat with just the odd chance.
It's not a problem - just need to do the business on Tuesday (bank an extra few hundred quid) and get back to winning ways ahead of a big league match a week today.
-
Got to agree with OCM, it's hard to know which team is going to turn up. Today was, first 20 minutes apart a continuation of Wednesday's lacklustre performance. In them first 20 minutes we got a lot of space down our right but once they worked this out and tightened up at the back we lacked the guile to open them up, as I said just like Wednesday.
As the game wore on towards the end of the second half they looked the more likely to score. Still ever the optimist we get another crack at it Tuesday and I can't see us turning in another performance like that and I fully expect us to put it right and go through.
One last thing, Spencer Weir Daley, for me having seen 3 substitute appearances have been totally underwhelmed so far and we would be better off getting Jamie Clarke back (who I have always rated anyway).
-
Wasn,t at the match .. but One could argue that a calm seasoned striker may have sealed it this afternoon ..
I would profer a case for shedding M .Suarez and getting such a player ..
-
We're not really a cup team are we?
BUT we are not out yet, and its best to get the poor performances out of our system in the cup than in the league when it really matters, because, lets be honest, we arent going to win the FA Trophy, and this year its all about going up
-
why get rid of suarez he won most if not all his headers and put them in good positions. the only time davidson won 2 headers they both ended up back at our keeper.
-
Suarez did his job, as he always does. It is all about playing to his strengths and not expecting him to take on 5 and ping it in the top corner.
It was weak today, not up to the bar that has been set.

That replay will probably cost the club a few hundred quid Hilders.......we'll have to either hire a coach or pay out traveling expenses for those who go in their cars......and the gate at Quorn will do well to reach 400 so whatever our share is will be swallowed up.
A result we could have done without, I'd rather we lost and concentrated on the league rather than an expensive replay with the potential for injuries to a small squad and another cup exit to a lower ranked team.

Along with the cost to Quorn of putting the match on, our travelling expenses are paid for out the gate receipts, which we then get a 45% share of any profits generated by the match.
I'd prefer us to win on Tuesday but wouldn't be too fussed if we didn't. We could do with recouping some of the money lost through an early Cup exit but the FAT's prize money increases at a painfully slow rate. We should definitely be putting out the youth team for the Godforsaken Unibond Challenge Cup though - Eastwood got away with it last year so I assume it's permissable to do so.
-
Sod the Trophy and Unibond Tinpot Cups, promotion should be the only thing on anyones minds this season.
-
I enjoyed the football. We deserved the win but how often does it happen like that in football?
I'm just glad they didn't snatch a last minute victory.
Promotion would be good, but a good Cup run would be just as good IMO.

Staying in the promotion/playoff race is imperative, a little cup run would get the town talking positive things about the club again but we need to be seeing a top five team this year. We should get our ass out of the Unidump trophy thing as soon as humanly possible.

Evans was rightly MOM ,their goalie never had a outstanding save to make , On that basis i think we should be grateful of a draw.
-
Did not attend the fixture today and from all accounts what with the traffic problems
and ultimatley the result probably a home game to miss.From reports on the live
commentary it appears we did not create alot against our lower division opponents.
Maybe given consideration to this the Quorn players along with their canny Scottish
Manager Dougie Keast should bolster some credit into their acheivements of forcing
the replay at Farley Way on Tuesday evening.
He obviously had some sort of game plan which worked to a degree, it is whether or
not he can take it one step further and hope his luck holds out against a Boston side
that should be far stronger physicaly and mentally but Cup competitions throw up all
sorts of strange results irrespective of league form.
It will be an interesting replay, the facilities at Quorn are moderate but modern with a
very good playing surface, it all hinges on whether or not the real Boston Utd turn up.
Team selection will be interesting unless of course it picks itself ! Scotty and Hursty....
its over to you.

Their goalie never had an outstanding save to make but he didn't half make a meal of the two or three shots he had to parry wide.
-
I think a little reality check is needed by a few people. Firstly we are still in the draw on Monday and I have no doubt the lads will do the business on Tuesday night. Secondly we are on the money as far as our League position is concerned, fourth with games in hand. May I remind people that this time last year we were at the other end of the table and were just about to lose against our next League opponants North Ferriby United. The players we have are generally okay and will come through. Might need an odd 'tweak' here and there but generally okay.
-
MoMfor me was Evans. The defense did well but anyone else further up the pitch than that left their game at home. Usual problem when playing a lower leagued team is the temptation to lower your standard of play down to theirs, but the other team up their game for the pride of winning and I think thats what happened. And how on earth did Suarez manage to stay on the pitch for that long, pointless. It's clear SnH are trying to bring on players by teaching them and improving their game but sometimes you have to get someone else in which another member has said on here. And as for Pratman who sits near us, make up your bloody mind. One minute your shouting at Scott to shut up because he's trying to gee the players up and then when we needed something to change you were shouting at him to "Do something about it" which was what he had been trying to do. Will the real 'Boston United team stand up' comment just about summed it up.

Personally im not too bothered if we go out of the Trophy, but it would be nice to get Crawley at home at some point...imagine the abuse!

I wouldnt be attending that game...... I pay to watch the match but i think it would be over shadowed by peoples inability to block out and move on from the past,

Come on lets face it at the present time Creepy Crawley would pobably beat us and therefore a pointless waste of an opportunity. It'll happen one day and after what went before it really does not matter how long it is no one will forget what Evans did and he and is team would be in for some serious abuse. I'd much rather that opportunity came along when we could all go home with a smug grin and let him walk off to silence cause he's not worth the breath .

If anyone thinks the Managers were at all happy with the 'very poor' performance on Saturday, have a listen to Rob Scott's interview!!
check the grassy knoll.
-
Sums up pretty much my thinking when i started this thread.Quite rightly the managers are unhappy with the performance.No doubt the happy clappers who thought we played well,or that the Trophy doesn't matter will have a different view though........
-
Lets be honest, Evans will find his true level, and thats a long way below where we are at present.
There's only so many times he can get friends to buy clubs for him or find a bigger crook than himself to employ him.......although I bet Chester looks a good bet if Vaughan wriggles out of this latest mess.
If we can help shove him further down the leagues and further into obscurity I'll be delighted to have seen it.
-
I wasn't at the game and by the sounds of it I didn't miss much. If teams in our own division come to our place and are happy to sit behind the ball a team in a lower division are going to do the same. Not hiding from the fact it is poor that we can't beat a team who are near the bottom of the div below but they would have treated this game as a cup final.
I don't think we should look too much into this one game and we should put it behind us. I'm confident we will beat them on Tuesday as we will be at their place and the onus will be on them to attack more. Boston to win 2-0
Oh and take your chances boys!!
-
I've hung off replying on here until I've calmed down.
But it still the same - - we were awful. I thought the way we destroyed Ashton was a revelation but Saturday was the complete opposite :)
The only positive (if there was one) was there was an aging pro on the pitch seeing his time out and for once he wasnt on our side
