Your boring repetition implies that both Sousa & McLeod proved ineffective.
We must have a very different recollection of that replay, as I remember Sousa causing their left back so many problems in the 10 minutes he was allowed to play, that he crippled him in one of the worst tackles I've ever seen.
He then went on to do the same to McLeod, resulting in his being red-carded shortly later.
That one game resulted in both Sousa & McLeod being side-lined through injury for weeks & coincided with the start of our bad run of form.
My original point was that, had both wingers been used in the first tie at Guiseley, we may have had no need of any replay.

Re: Signings
Lord
Seriously - you think we'd have beaten Guisley if we'd got 90 minutes out of these two ?
Oh dear ......
And you then think our mini blimp is because these two not available ?
Double oh dear.
Nothing to do with the shocking defensive displays then - thankfully put right against Grimsby.

Lord Love Rocket is going to have a word with Ronaldo about taking a pay cut and sorting us out.

In place of cynicism, let's consider the facts.
Fact 1. - It was almost unanimously accepted by all those who attended the 1st Guiseley tie that our performance was dire.
However, it wasn't the defence, as we kept a clean sheet - it was our toothless attack.
Fact 2 - Two days after that game (where they didn't feature) Coleman played both Sousa & McLeod at Wigan. Sousa scored 2, McLeod 1.
Fact 3. In the return tie, Coleman obviously felt they merited a place in the team. Sousa was making a real impact until he was crippled.
McLeod in turn was also kicked off the park, resulting in both being unavailable until recently.
Fact 4. In the 8 games following the Guiseley replay, we've won 2, drawn 1 & lost 5.
Fact 5. Yes, we kept a clean sheet against Grimsby, but clean sheets don't win games - Goals do! The reason we won is simple - we scored 3 goals.
I see Sousa & McLeod as valuable assets to our attack. Players who can change games - given the chance.
You obviously see the defence as the ' be all & end all' of football and forwards as an irrelevance.
You can keep clean sheets till the cows come home but in the end, it's the speed, skill & effort of attackers who actually win you games.

I thought the dire performance came from the ref.
At Wigan played a youth team.
I also rate Sousa & Mcloud.
