Wasn't Taylor having a massive bromance with Reeves?

PS Record away attendance at KM tonight?

Pretty positive tonight we endured, persevered and competed against a decent side. Annoying to have switched off for their second goal but rather do that tonight so that everyone (and everyone switched off) can learn from it. But we showed we had patience and showed we could create decent chances even when up against decent oppo.

Hey ho, hey ho, out the Cup we go... Don't bust a gut to come up with an Appiah song though - on tonight's form we won't be singing it much, if at all. This season's Barnett?

Good game, we tried to hang in there with Brentford. Got the rub of the green with a Parker Italia 90 type deflection for Robbo's goal, but the Bees wore us down. Totally ripped us to pieces in Extra Time, we couldn't press in midfield and their players just waltzed around looking for the perfect through ball. Their second goal, we were switched off/Egli caught in no man's land. Their third was classic example of why we should always LSU, and the ball came straight back and killed us off in the final few minutes. Hey ho, a good run out for the players, especially the youngsters. Hopefully we will learn a bit from that. Good luck to Brentford in the next round.

Saying longs kicks would be good for a lump don't do the accuracy of his kicks justice. He can launch a ball to go over a full back on to the feet of a wide player with amazing accuracy . He commands his area completely differently to any dons goalie I have seen. I Like the way he always calls the full backs ready for the sort pass , has two great feet as well. And this is all the other stuff that is so important as well as being a good shot stopper. We have had those in the past , but you need to err , command your box 😎

Long looks like a tremendous improvement on Shea. Not only does he command the 6 yard box, he likes to command the entire penalty area.

Not that it would have made much difference*, but how did the ref find a minute of added time in the first half of extra time, but none in the second after LTB was down for a couple of minutes?

Kaja got bollocked by Fuller and a couple of others immediately after their 2nd goal. Hartigan didn't try to be flashy, played things simply and in general quite effectively I thought. All in our group thought Appiah looked off the pace and rather disinterested.

Kennedy and Barcham our best players tonight, then Francomb and LTB. Nightingale and Robbo both had brilliant moments, coupled with big errors caused by the differing stages of career they're at. Long looks like a terrific signing. His kicks would have been immense with Elliott or the Beast up front. We have no height option as shown by no-one wanting to receive throw-ins. Funny that LTB was often our target man. Appiah poor. Mcdonald encouraging. Parrett mixed bag. Hartigan showed moments of inexperience but overall a v promising debut. Egan always looks like he could score a goal. We need a goalscoring central midfielder and he ought to be the next Robbie Earle. Fuller good going forward but gets caught out at the back sometimes. Has amazing stamina as shown when he covered for LTB as well as playing right back in extra time. Odd having four subs. Suspect Deji much better as a centre back than left back. Was Kennedy injured? Kaja didn't do much. All in all a good performance that we so nearly won twice in normal time. Not sure about us playing it out at the back with our centre backs in full back positions but NA must know what he's doing. We'll be shattered on Saturday. Can't see how LTB or Robbo will be able to play another 90 mins.

George Francomb also had a really good game. I think even Kentish applauded him when he was subbed. Appiah seems to be lacking match sharpness.

Also the front 3 kept switching places , this is early days but could pose a real problem to most L 1 defences

His kicking is on a totally different level to any keeper we have had abs he made some really good stops

Not sure if AR but Taylor stormed out of training the other day and just went home without saying a word. Not good.

And I love George long time

Nightingale was excellent

Amba- which is why ardley was rollicking Egan at half time in extra time... anyway. He's not to blame. We didn't take our chances. Their keeper made a fantastic double save vs Cody. Good performance with a young team. Hartigan had a poor first half but superb second. Back 5 all excellent. Deano played with a point to prove. Worst player was Kwesi who couldn't find a blue shirt all night.

Brentford were different class but we weren't outclassed at all IMO. Three defensive errors cost us goals but they were very decent finishes anyway. Hartigan was my motm and lasted the full 120 very well.

I wasn't going to point fingers about the second goal but seeing as Reigate Womble said Egan, I'll confirm it was Kaja.

Until we can bring a £1.8m striker off the bench I'm not going to complain about results like this... What matters is how we played, and are we moving in the right direction. The answers to both those questions are pretty positive.

Bizarre game, very sterile and passion free and completely different from the blood and thunder local derbies of yore, sitting in the main stand was very odd too, little or no atmosphere. Turning point was when Mcdonald hit the bar at 1-0 but as someone said we don't know what the 2nd round is

Including us, 12 L1 sides got knocked out and 15 L2. 9 L1 progressed and 5 L2

God we missed Kennedy and Francomb when they went off.

Decent performance overall should have won it in the early part of second half

Plenty of promise shown today. Looking good.
