If we had gone & lost, fair play to Worcester! But to go 2-0 & not be professional enough to kill the game. To look unfit compared to Worcester, to have a worse keeper than Worcester who was shocking in the second half! To see midfielders walking about while Worcester fought for the ball
Aaaaaargh!

If I'd been a travelling Accrington fan last night I'd have been gutted too. Not many City fans expected anything out of the game, after all, we havent actually been able to win games or score goals all season, and I was thinking before the game that our best bet would be to hang on for penalties. At 2-0 down I was hoping at least for a chance of keeping a bit of dignity by letting in less than 6!!
The one thing which really surprised me was the apparent lack of fitness of your players, having seen Rushden play us into the ground a few years back with their supreme fitness, I know what a difference being full time athletes should have made.
Regarding the keepers, apart from one save in each half, Dibble was truly awful. Standing behind the goal you could see that the defence had little confidence in him, and if you download this video of our first goal you'll see the perfect example of a keeper caught in no-mans land.

By contrast Worcester are lucky to have a keeper like Dany McDonnell. He's probably worth 10/15 points a season to us, and most City fans have no idea what he's doing playing at our level when he really could have made it in the Championship if not the Premiership - certainly better than that first keeper at Crystal Palace last year, Spironi or whatever his name was!
I just wish we could battle like we did last night week in and week out in the league, I don't know why we save it for the cup games.
Hope you had a safe journey back home, nice club, good fans, who deserve success.
