Least we came back fighting, just a shame Brezovan had already done the damage in the first half.

I don't get the lack of urgency when we are a goal down with a minute left in a cup tie though. Very strange. I would've had Brezovan up for that 90th min corner.

This. Nothing to lose and yet the keeper almost always stays back. So frickin' frustrating.

Our managers never learn, dozy Pete will be on the bench on Saturday. It's time to drop him and casper and give Walton a chance, he can't do any worse.

At least one of them has to go to give Walton a chance. Neither are convincing.

If TK had played we would have won the game because despite how bad we were for 70 odd minutes they had no real chances.

That's football.

Cue another load of excuses from Garcia.
Actually looked better commiting more players higher up the pitch but one effort on target (& the bar doesn't count) is woeful when chasing the game.

Well at least we can now concentrate on just missing out on the playoffs.

Sorry, but that 1st half approach was far too negative. If you're going to try and keep it safe away first half, at least have an outlet with pace. And Brez a liability again.
What a shit way to go out.

It was appalling. Did they forget they were playing in a cup tie? Should've just pushed everyone up at the end, nothing to lose. What would a more passionate manager have told his players to do?

Much better second half, at least we can take some positives from that. Shot ourselves in the foot twice with the goals, hit the bar, their second was offside, could've been different on a different day. Ho hum, onto the next one.

What are you on about? Garcia's appraisals are dull, factual and nothing else. He never makes excuses?

Oscar has said all along, he would stick to his cup team, so Koosh was never going to play... even if we progressed in further rounds!
Gus did the same in the FACup.

Not a great performance by any means - We never looked as if we believed we'd win this one (to be fair, neither did I), Brez looked nervous from the start, we were way too ponderous and predictable in our build up play. That said, Hull weren't great either but deserved the win. C'est la vie innit.

Be quiet and drink your beer, I saw this game on Saturday.

Oh yes your first game for two years because you bragged a freebie.

Thank god for the beer though, thanks.

Totally agree. Ridiculous policy, could almost understand if it was giving a young player a chance, but a squad player who never looks convincing and who the defence clearly have no confidence in ?

Brez should've played himself out of contention enough times now. It's not that he doesn't do good stuff, it's just too many errors. And if you're in the FA Cup 5th Round against Prem opposition why on earth would you factor in that additional risk? I don't understand it. It's not like TK will be tired.
