FA Cup Round 3

[roversfan2001]

Fleetwood v Leicester (12:45)
Aston Villa v Peterborough
Blackburn v Hull
Bournemouth v Wigan
Doncaster v Rochdale
QPR v MK Dons
Yeovil v Bradford
Shrewsbury v West Ham (Sun 14:00)
Tottenham v AFC Wimbledon (Sun 15:00)

Not sure what to think about our game, Hull are doing shit in the league but it sounds like they're underperforming. It's a good test to see where we are in terms of quality in relation to the Championship.

I doubt there’s a Donny or Dale fan that has any excitement for our game, 4th meeting this season and only a week since the last.

Yeovil away - think we have sold a massive 350 tickets. Really unappealing fixture this one, however, what a great oppertunity to progress.

Yeovil have somewhat a bit of a selection crisis. With 4-5 Loanees returning back to their parent clubs, 3-4 suspensions and injuries to boot, they had to act fast in the transfer window so far. They’re performing poorly in their respective league, and have the worst home record - what could possibly go wrong? If ever there was a banaskin-fixture, it’s this one.

Our players are heavily incentivised when it’s comes to cup competitions, so I expect us to go for it.

Poleon and Killa are back for minor knocks, no McMahon or Reeves due to injuries.

A what?

 

[F!RTHY]

A what?

A mere typographical error....

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Forced to make 4 changes and can't fill the bench, this will be a difficult one, but still be very disappointing if we don't qualify.

 

[bantamigo]

2-1 loss with Zoko getting the winner.

 

[Gassy]

Good luck to those still in it, I hope you all draw, draw the replay, go to extra time and win in penalties.

I think they had taken a middlesbrough player on load

 

[genesimmons]

See teams are up to there usual tricks fielding shite lineups like leicester, newcastle etc

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Ffs dreadful performance by the sounds of it, feel sorry for those who went. I questioned our mentality on here against the sides near the bottom, sounds like our players just expected to turn up and win today, disgraceful.

 

[NorthernSoul]

Refereeing howler has just denied it being 3-1 Wigan and Bournemouth go straight up the pitch and make it 2-2. If only VAR was 2 days earlier.

A plum away draw in next round and losing the replay could cost us over 1m.

 

[finley]

Well looks like we’re out of the FA cup.Bury please please please recall Thompson he’s fooking useless

 

[SMH]

Good luck to those still in it, I hope you all draw, draw the replay, go to extra time and win in penalties.

This is almost certainly going to happen with us now. Except we’ll lose the penalties, then lose to Plymouth in the league straight after.

 

[1976Bantam]

Well looks like we’re out of the FA cup.Bury please please please recall Thompson he’s fooking useless

I don't know what's happened to Thompson. Only last season he was an integral part of a decent Southend team. He went to Bury, got frozen out almost immediately and has looked pretty lost when playing for us - all in 6 months or so.

 

[Fedora Dale]

That was rather unexpected, but pleasing nonetheless.

Now for round 4 where we'll no doubt get another hugely attractive tie against Posh or MK

 

[F!RTHY]

....and there we are, sports fans, there we are.

Utter fucking shite, honestly.

 

[roversfan2001]

Hull were there for the taking, we just didn't seem up for it. Don't really care too much that we're out, getting out of this league is always our priority.

 

[T.A]

Unlucky, you have him until May. Seems McCall wants to keep him.

 

[bantamigo]

Not content with losing to all the teams at the bottom of our league we have started losing to the teams at the bottom of other leagues, lovely stuff.

Be nice if we signed some players especially when we can't even fill the bench. Instead of bidding for players who we can't pay because it makes the chairman look good.

Bambi Toney again, wasn't touched...

 

[Marked Ox]

Bambi Toney again, wasn't touched...

Likewise, purely on MOTD coverage there didn't look anything in it at all. Based on that, a good decision by the ref.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Utter fucking shite, honestly.

We were really really good, that may just have had something to do with it.

 

[F!RTHY]

You were hungrier and full of legs - we weren’t. Without wanting to take anything away from you, that’s the worst we’ve played in a very long time.

 

[MrGloverLover]

You were hungrier and full of legs - we weren’t. Without wanting to take anything away from you, that’s the worst we’ve played in a very long time.

Our performance was all the more surprising considering 2 days ago we had 11 available players. 4 of our eventual matchday squad had never played with any of the others, we had an academy player as well and still couldn't fill our bench.

 

[bantamigo]

We’ve lost to Wimbledon and Bury this season and also Plymouth when they were dossing around the relegation zone a couple of months back. In fact our only 2 away losses were Bury and Wimbledon, we’ve won 9 games on the road including Wigan and Shrewsbury both in the top 2. I’m not saying Yeovil didn’t play well yesterday but we should have at least made it competitive, something is clearly badly wrong when we play supposed inferior opposition. Must be an attitude thing.

 

[bantamigo]

Where’ve you seen this, not seen anything official. He’s getting worse frankly so hope it’s not true.

 

[Lancs@(Bantam)]

Think Thompson will stay tbh as he's a cheap bench warmer with Bury paying 2 thirds of his wage still.

 

[T.A]

Where’ve you seen this, not seen anything official. He’s getting worse frankly so hope it’s not true.

Nothing official but on a long loan deal both clubs have to agree to cut it. It would have been much cheaper to bring him back than buy another defender.

 

[Super_horns]

Shrewsbury more than matching West Ham ATM.

Hart made a couple of decent saves.
