Ignored Member sounds like they're making friends on this thread tonight at least.

What a pass from Embleton to Broadhead by the way.

 

[deleted user 785]

It's a quarter final of a major English trophy, there's nowt strange about it at all. Should always pick your strongest 11. Imagine dropping more than half of the 11 to "rest" them. The players would've been absolutely raging.

It's unbelievable.

 

[McMackem]

Heads held high so far, scored the only decent goal, behind to a bounce off a knee and a big deflection.

 

[forever changes]

If we had another confident forward like Broadhead we might have got an equaliser just panic a bit near the box

 

[TravellingMackem]

Why won't we win?

Is that a serious question?

 

[GipseT]

Broadhead is so important, not sure it's possible to find a replacement in January

 

[jesus juice]

The difference is the speed of thought really. The time is takes to react and play the ball.

Really proud of the lads for coming back though. We have had chances since the goal and looked good.

Gutted Broadhead is injured. Hope he's not out for long.

 

[turbo bratwurst]

need to find a way to play embleton and pritchard together every week

Adds weight to LJ complaining about the SoL pitch, we’ve thrived on this surface.

 

[Zak's Dad]

Played well. Heads could have dropped and they didn’t.

We're a third division team playing against Arsenal who use this competition to blood players with a point to prove.

Going 2 down against them was potentially catastrophic, but fighting back and giving it a go to match them is a bloody good response.

 

[JL1985]

Typical Broadhead gets injured. It always seems like 1 step forward, 1 step back with us.

 

[Geronimo]

Love Phillips' Turkish weave

 

[sofatester]

Broadhead injured…

That's football unfortunately

 

[daveyspants]

..or his knee.
Confident it's not his hammy

Looked like he got a bit of a kick to his achilles to me, hopefully just a sore knock.

 

[McGregor]

Is that a serious question?

Clearly it is.. Why won't we win? You probably thought we'd clearly not score either.

 

[Smartin]

Wow Merson looks a mess, he looks 70.

Helps when we play against teams that play football rather than hoof us into orbit

 

[Taffyduck]

Get kimpioka on. He’ll confuse the fuck out of them.
