Looking at the highlights, and not having been at the game, Gorrin seemed to jump up and out of the way of the free kick when watching the ball he might have blocked it. It also looked like Gorrin making the rash challenge leading to the rebound for their second goal. Good pressing by him for our goal but looks, as would be expected, as if he is some way off being match sharp.

It was definitely Gorrin who toe poked it back for their second. A bit unfortunate as it went near 2 of our players, but they both left it probably because they weren’t expecting Gorrin to toe poke it back towards our 18 yard line. Not sure McGinty could have done anything about it to be honest.

Those that can, play. Those that can't, keep!


Actually I turned up for a game when I was 19/20 with a raging hangover; our regular keeper couldn't make the game and I got press-ganged into it because my head hurt too much to argue. I was surprisingly competent that day (and spectacularly mediocre as an outfield player) so they made me do it every game for the next five years!
 
I was also disappointed that Browne picked up an unnecessary yellow card after just coming on. Meant he had to walk a tightrope after that. Needs to get that out if his game as it’s just testosterone running through him e.g. he hates being beaten in a dual, but he has to rise above that, especially when it’s on the half way line!

Cam brans penalty hit the back of the net before the goalie dived, fantastic pace.

Pretty much yes! Trying my freeze-framing again, this is when the ball went in, Keeper still standing in the middle of the goal.... A rocket of a spot kick.
 
Having watched the goals on Sky a couple of times I hadn't realised just how lucky we were and how badly we played. If that sort of luck continues then we are certain promotion candidates!!!!!!!!!!
 
Here's the balls for our section of the draw tonight:
  1. AFC Bournemouth
  2. Brentford
  3. Brighton & Hove Albion
  4. Cambridge United
  5. Charlton Athletic
  6. Colchester United
  7. Crawley Town
  8. Crystal Palace
  9. Exeter City
  10. Forest Green Rovers
  11. Fulham
  12. Gillingham
  13. Milton Keynes Dons
  14. Newport County
  15. Norwich City
  16. Oxford United
  17. Portsmouth
  18. Southampton
  19. Stevenage
  20. Walsall
  21. Watford
  22. Wycombe Wanderers
  23. Coventry City or Bristol City
  24. Plymouth Argyle or Peterborough United

Lots of interesting looking fixtures there.....and some horrible ones too (Please God, not Stevenage away......never again......)

Almost no Championship teams (only 3 out of 24, I think?) because they all lost yesterday!!

Swindon or Reading would be good.

It's the most important position on the pitch and mentally the toughest.

Obviously I was good enough to play outfield, I just didn't want to, you understand.

Brentford/Fulham/Crystal Palace or Southampton away would be superb.

If not then a L2 side at home please.
 
Anyone at home will do for me in next round on our own patch we can beat anyone

I thought he positioning for their first goal was poor. Dived too late, but shot was hit hard. And you could blame him for causing the free kick which led to their goal.

All part of the learning curve I guess. Overall I just felt his kicking was more accurate, but still made the odd error like Stevens or a Eastwood.

And as I said in an earlier post, he needs to look to his left when he has the ball for quicker distribution. A couple of times in the 2nd half Findlay and Seddon were free, but he played it to Moore who was in a tighter situation (who also seems lackadaisical at times) who then passed to Golding too slow putting him under pressure, whereby, there was lots of room/space on the left.

Well, Seddon was on the bench having been subbed, so probably not a good idea to pass to him then.
 
Fulham, Palace,Brentford or Southampton away would be great.

Or at home to Stevenage, or Creepy, Newport, or Walsall.
 
I would love Stockport away, as they are great to have back in the league. Obviously that can't happen until the quarters or semis though due to the Northern and Southern sections.
