Is getting knocked out of the FA Cup such a disaster?

We need to concentrate on getting promoted and fewer games may help going forward.

Discuss.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

No, of course not but, we were beaten quite easily by a side that hadn't won a game for 9 months and our team cotained quite a few players who will play a lot of games.

 

[Rip Van Fish]

Not arsed about going out at all , however @Father Jack Hackett does make a good point

And then we dont go up again this season
Then what? Hope we lose in the cup again next year?

It's not a disaster, just bloody depressing. The defeat provided further evidence of our lack of creativity, even against the worst teams in the football league. It also showed just how terrible our strikers are. Certainly, there were no positives.

Plenty on here yesterday before the game saying they hoped we'd get beat so they should be pleased..

Well, people always say that.

 

[Sack Fatto]

No...but it emphasises the fact that we are a poor side with no plan B. And it is yet another low point in the history of our Club. Losing in successive years in the first round of the FA Cup is a humiliation. Darlington and Marine have progressed further than us....let that sink in.

 

[Grammar Police]

Ah, the old "can concentrate on the league" crack.

It may be beneficial, if the manager and players weren't so f***ing shit.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Served us well last season getting knocked out in the first round like......

 

[RichD]

Well, people always say that.

So they should be pleased then, they got what they wanted..

It’s not getting knocked out of the cup I’m worried about. It’s about all the other problems that game exposed.

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

It was the manner of the defeat. Mansfield are a poor side who haven't won a game all season. But they looked sharper, quicker and better than us. We were slow and negative again. We're too cautious.

 

[Deleted member 31333]

Nah but the same players playing shit is the annoyance to folk

It shows how far as a club we have deterated and how much these owners care about the fans shocking

Going out of the FA Cup is by no means a disaster but people need to see the bigger picture.

If we go out of the cup against a decent side in say round 3 then that’s acceptable.

Our standards as a once proud club are being dragged further and further through the mud by these charlatans and yesterday is just another example of not only them being allowed to do it but now people are finding excuses to make it acceptable.

Losing at home to a 4th division side who hadn’t won a game all season in no matter what competition and the way we surrender so abjectly is and always should be wholly unacceptable.

Anyone with the club at heart should find yesterday’s result and performance utterly stomach churning.

Could have been a cash windfall if we'd reached the 3rd round and got a top 6 club. But never mind eh.

A cash windfall straight into the dumpy hobbler's back pocket.

 

[Scotty 1978]

Embarrassing as fuck, the club and the players should hang their heads in shame

 

[danbob]

No, it's just a humiliation
