Looks like we won the toss into Stanley's end

[andyd]

Charles saved 1-2

[andyd]

Morgan 2-3

[andyd]

Savin 3-4.

[andyd]

Savin needs a save ,saved 3-4.

[andyd]

Leigh 4-4 sudden death.

[andyd]

Butcher saved out by 4-5

[AccyMad]

Of all the penalty takers, I'd have bet my house on Dion & Matt scoring - well done to Toby for scoring 1 & saving 1 (although that should've been 2) - not to be, we'll concentrate on the league

Savin saved from Luamba at 4-4, but ref ordered a retake....which was scored....and Butcher missed....concentrate on the league. Perhaps just as well with our small but quality squad. Our strikers seem to be short of confidence...perhaps Charles international break will give hime some confidence for when he returns......

Our strikers aren't delivering at the moment not even from the spot.

To be honest I thought the same thing especially Bishop because his record with penalties is quite good, why oh why aren't we beating a team who have lost every game in the league are in turmoil off the field and sit in 92nd place in the EFL. Ok there are always upset,s in the cup but did we really not want a chance of a money spinning tie in round 3. Should imagine Coleman should be boiling at the performance and hopefully doesn't in his post match interview slate the retaken penalty too much.

Just seen the interview very scathing of the 5 players who came in wether he meant Savin not sure but Perritt, Nolan, Mumbongo and Sherring didn't do anything to earn the shirt. Very unusual to mention fitness so early and players moaning about certain training methods didn't cut corners said they aren't good enough and will be bringing in players he thinks are better. Not brilliant to hear if you're one of those he's talking about will it motivate them or leave them disheartened.

Not sure Andyd. I haven't heard Coley give a post match interview like that since the Conference days. He really isn't happy with the players. ......as to the affect on the players.....its Coley's way or the Highway.....we'll just have to see what happens......

Mumbongo didn't receive one decent pass or through ball to enable him to play to his strengths using his pace.

The game looked like disjointed memorial ground stuff.

The ground is a health hazard and there are a lot of idiot fans. Walking down steps in near pitch dark is an accident waiting to happen.
