1) we didn’t lose this time 2) were doing alright in the league 3) the abuse some are giving Coughlan from the east terrace from 10 mins in you’d think we were bottom of the league 4) yes it was sh** 5) do we really need to act like it’s the end of the world? Let’s get some perspective. Personally. Our performance as a club today reflected our performance as supporters. It’s hard to get excited about an FA cup game against a non league club but perhaps that’s why our players didn’t play so well today as they are guilty of the same. You need to give respect to lower league clubs in the cup or you’ll get put in your place and that goes for out supporters as much as our players and coaching staff An excellent post. there were a handful on the east terrace who were constantly critical of the team and GC from the off - weird they bothered to turn up in a meagre crowd but acted like c**nts ! |

Second round draw tomorrow 7 pm on BBC2 I can’t see us progressing, sadly. If we can't beat a National League side there's no point in progressing anyway. |

Hopefully the replay might be live on the BBC and hopefully Tom Davies will be back in a 5-3-2 . Leahy ahead of Little for me - not because of today’s goal but because Little looks awfully off the pace. We are in the draw ... have a lighter than normal ten days before we go again. It’s not all doom and gloom ! Leahy on the right?? Give the lad Hoole a go at wingback. |

Dont you just love the morally superior. I hope you made your opinions none to the "handful" , hmm. The fact of the matter is the football was absolutely awful, one shot on target in 90 minutes, and the goalkeeper flapping like a helicopter from a corner which led to the Bromley equaliser. |

Looking at the other replays our game is nailed on for tv If it's two matches so is Walsall's? Could be a good weeks TV viewing instead of all the usual Champions League rubbish! |

No-one except non-league clubs give a toss about the FA Cup anymore. Not even L1/L2 managers, players and fans. It's a shrunken relic of what it once was. |

The club obviously knew what the crowd was going to be, thats why they only sold tickets for part of the ground, |

Some would say hypocritical. |

We set up 4-4-2 but played with zero width.
Ridman and sercombe hardly ever got down the wings , the full backs hardly ever looked to overlap , all our play was in front of Bromley and they lapped it up.
When we had the ball in the middle we tried to play it through the middle rather than looking to switch the play , I just don’t think 442 can work very well without a creative player who can spread the play or any good wingers.
Crap performance, although I thought there was as much chance of us losing as winning today so I’m not surprised.

Well that was a painful watch very few positives to take from today we're still in the hat & we got some game time into JCH but apart from that ??
Lots of backwards & sideways passing which is fine if you then follow it with a creative pass or work a position for a cross or shot. Unfortunately today that very rarely happened the only real moment of creativity came for the goal (ironically from Little who for the most part struggled & doesn't look fit to me).
It's going to be a tough replay but surely we can't be that bad again ?
One other thing anyone have any idea why we wore arm bands with poppies instead of them being on our shirts ?

Should of allocated this as a free game for season ticket holders to compensate for the loss of the Bury fixture. We didn’t and the ground was half empty, the atmosphere non existent and the players performance suffered partly because of it. |

Yes I agree, the Kelly/Sercombe pairing and Little/Rodman on the other side didn't work together down the sides to stretch the opposition. Little and Sercombe started to combine a bit more when Sercs was switched to the right. But yeah we didn't get going at all and Bromley stayed organised and competitive - they deserved the draw. |

Having been off line for a few weeks due to knackered lap top(bit like me !)nice to return at a positive time! don't know why anyone is surprised at todays events, given our recent record in similar situations! take one ,obviously very good national league side, who because of the occasion will raise there game 20% or so against an average league 1 side who how ever much they spout to the contrary will not approach the game with the same intensity and you end up with todays performance and result, there were worse results around today but have no fear we will win the replay and can look forward to a second round game.

FA Cup games are shared income games and the opposition and FA would never had agreed to it. |

FA Cup games are shared income games and the opposition and FA would never had agreed to it. In a normal season maybe but surely we’ve got a fair argument seeing as Bury’s demise meant one less team in the competition. A 6 thousand ish crowd would have generated more revenue through food and drink anyway. Don’t even want to get into the performance today to be honest, very lacklustre. |

Unfortunately it looks like the players can’t remember what that setup means having played 532 for so long. |

Has to be said it works a hell of a lot better than a 4-4-2 with this set of players as well. |
