Well done to the lads today, excellent all round followed by 2 great goals on a cold evening. Good to see dev get a goal. Apart from a 15 minute spell didn't think prims were that special. Yes they probably ain't the worst, don't think they will beat s n l corby :D but then again they hardly tested crossy really, although a really smart Sam brown save off the line but not much else.

Didn't think ling had the best games to be honest, thought his efforts to get to the ball sometimes was poor, and his passes was sometimes bit slack, but hey that's my opinion and hope hes firing on all cylinders next week.

Wonder why the linesmen swapped at half time, thought the clown had quite a poor first half and some of his decisions was a bit eye rolling, then we had him running the line 2nd half. I was in line with him 2nd half and I was scratching my head on a couple of his decisions.

Can't wait for the draw Monday, roll on the next round to continue our Wembley march :D

Oh and everyweeker, I put 20quid on Leyton orient to win, along with ashington and blackfield and Langley. That game went into extra time and let me down for 140quid :( do I get a refund :lol: ;)

I thought it was a pretty poor 1st half and we struggled to get going. They stopped us getting a grip in any area and were not too bad apart from having very little to offer up front. The result was a positive and reflected the 90 minutes.
With the teams left in the competition, we will need to perform better, because the quality is going to be better and a lot of the teams are established and do well in this Cup, season after season.
Let us wait and see who we face, when the draw is made on Monday.

Thought today we didn't perform well at all today but by the time the next round is upon us (18 Jan I believe) we'll hopefully be back in form with Jamal, Bunts, Faze & Alfie all firing on full cylinders!!

I'm personally not too worried about the performance, yes it wasn't great, poor execution of moves in the final third was one of our problems again today, but we will usually raise our game against the better sides, which is why I never get the 'if we play like that next week, we'll get hammered' quote that seems to come out before big games on here.

I mean psychologically, surely its only natural that the players have a different mentality playing a game at home against a team a level below and being clear favourites, to say, playing a top NL team away from home and being the underdogs. Make no mistake, it'll be very tough with such established teams potentially in our way and I fear if we were to get Spennymoor or West Auckland away, we may be going out, but I just look at the FA Cup games to give hope in knowing what this team is capable of on their day and have no doubt we have a real chance of going far in this competition.

Couldn't agree more.

On our day we are capable of beating anyone in the Vase, this image of unbeatable NL teams is bulls**t, we only just lost to Ashington last year and we have a better team this season. We should fear no one 8-)

Although Tunbridge Wells lost today the big shock was Eastbourne Utd winning at South Park.

Just when I thought a trip home was on the cards you tell me the next round is regional still!! So its up the M1 or A1 again!!
