Well done to Brackley (and Gateshead) and good luck in the next round.

We've been off the boil at home for quiet a while so today was no surprise, especially as in 3 out of the last 5 seasons we have lost at home to non-league teams in the FA Cup. Today was the worst of the lot. Sasu can only beat a man if he has space to run into. Stop that and he is lost as he has no skill and is more likely to trip over his own feet than create anything. Seddon was the only player to come out of that with any credit. Hackford is a great impact sub but not a starter. Bugiel seemed disinterested. Orsi offers nothing and is worse than Kelly, who at least is quick. It was just another awful performance. I hope we can turn the tide away to rock-bottom Peterborough because we still need points to be safe and I am not lulled into our good start to think we could not go on a 2021-2022 style run like we did in Robbo's days. The despair I can cope with. It's the hope that kills you.

Now watch Brackley get Gateshead in the draw and the winner gets a huge tie in Rd3 🤪😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Well at least our game wasn't televised

Looks like County are exiting the cup.

Kelle Roos in goal for Notts County in FAC penalty shoot out on BBC2 now.

Bert-Colchester’s academy is a higher category than ours according to Papers so the Yoof cup defeat wasn’t a surprise

Women lose in the WFA Cup, Youth lose in the FAYC, Men lose in the FAC, all in the first round, all at home to teams from at least the division below. Luckily we don't need any cup runs to help make some dosh.

We can only drop 9 points in November ;-)

Rubbish game - no quality on either side - we gifted them both goals

The rest is the week after next we Silk - and for whoever asked why Omar was subbed - he wasn’t injured - he was strolling around like he was too good to be there - don’t recall him winning one header - only players that looked like they gave a shit were Ogs and Browne

Basically a continuation of the Burton game. Don't think we would have scored if the game went on for another 756 years. Really really annoying. As Surbiton says this habit we have of losing to non league teams in the FA Cup is starting to get ridiculous now and needs to stop.

I’ve been told that today was Gatehead’s first win against an EFL club for 25 years….. 😯

Gateshead, Dagenham & Redbridge, Chesterfield and Boreham Wood.

Is that true Surbiton?

With a week's rest before and after this fixture I have no idea why Sasu and Maycock were starting ahead of Asiimwe and Hippolyte. The OS said both were fit in the JJ interview. Did we under-estimate Gateshead?

If the sponsors had wanted to take the piss I reckon they'd have given it to Orsi or possibly Maycock

Sasu played much better than he usually does but Seddon was better

I had assumed that Sasu getting MOTM was some sort of joke or protest against not being allowed to not award it at all

Anyone in earshot of what was said between the away dugout and the woman who was then escorted from the stadium?

Reading were 2-0 up in 3rd min of added time, only for Carlisle to score twice and then get the winner in extra time. All three scored by Regan Lydney. First game in charge for Reading's new manager,

I just read that we've been knocked out by non league teams in 4 of the last 5 seasons. A real mentality issue which needs sorting. Costing us money and costing us a good bit of enjoyment as well. Wasted.

Budget or not that lowers our 'football fortune' money and I have seen no evidence of how we look likely to close the losses. Now we can't even say we'll try to be like Exeter because they've admitted they can't support a League 1 budget.

RK - about 5,300 attendance. Abysmal performance. Smith a passenger for the second week running, Maycock ineffective in the inside left channel, little service to the front two, and don’t get me started on Sasu. How he got MotM is utterly beyond me - not good enough again. For me, Seddon was our best player.

Nick W, I think the implication for me anyway, is that this will move us toward selling a player to fill (this year's) black hole, unless we can sustain another £1m+ loss
