What a thoroughly miserable Tuesday night out. Weird kick off time and weird match. Atmosphere was terrible and I had to endure the Mackems in the West Stand lapping it up. It was as if we'd turned the clock back to those horrible championship games where we had all the possession but no idea. Sideways and backwards passes, striker isolated and our only attacking option was asking our left back to beat 4 men and put the ball into the box. At least in the championship we had wingers that could dig us out of trouble. Last night, the sight of Bogle and Aaronsson trying to push forward was painful. A lot of it was down to the way they played and spoiled the game as well as defending well but why didn't Farke change things at half-time ? When Gnonto and James were on the pitch late on we definitely troubled them.The time wasting and cheating was disgraceful especially the 20th minute goalkeeper 'injury' which was blatant. The Maggot's boss knew it was working for them and just told him to go down. Got to stop this somehow cos it's happening on a weekly basis. Haven't seen the pen back yet and don't really want to. Ampadu had a stinker and played the worst ball of the season as he looked for Bogle on the right wing and put it into the press box in the West Stand. Almost comical. There's nothing much more to say other than I hope the Hammers and Forest lose tonight and I hope this is just a blip for us. Scores: Darlow - 6. Nothing to do other than save a pen which I think he should have Bogle - 5. Showed his limitations as a winger Gudmonssen - 7. Our best player on the night. Rodon - 7. Unlucky with the goal but if you're the last man at the back post surely you can see exactly where you need to be. Struijk - 7. Some decent defending. Stach - 7.Battled well and a couple of decent free kicks Ampadu - 4. His worst game of the season. Justin - 6. Worked hard. DCL - 5. Not involved. Won a few headers but looked isolated. Hasn't scored for a while now. Gruev - 5. Played a lot of backwards passes. Aaronson - 5. Ran a lot but totally ineffective. Subs: James - 7. Looked lively. Gnonto - 5. Had a lot of the ball and tried to get at them but the lad is so obviously not match fit and we need him to be. Nmech - 5. Didn't influence the game. Can't remember anyone else. Let's quickly forget about this one and concentrate on Wembley.
