    Well that was...

    Absolutely awful. That has to be one of the most pathetic cup exits we've had in years, it was a disgraceful performance from start to finish and from back to front.

    The only player who got pass marks was Campbell. Gallagher might get a let-off given he'd not trained all week with a flu and a fever (according to Craigain) but essentially the other 12 who played tonight would have no complaints if they are sitting in the stand next week.

    I questioned the wisdom of extending Robinson early before seeing how this year's batch worked out given last summer. There's clearly time for redemption but...jeez, we look in deep, deep bother. Gallagher is a good addition, the jury is obviously still out on Carroll and Polworth, in the right circumstances, could be okay. But Robinson's constant failing - which for all his positives he's had since summer 2017 - in not being able to sign suitable attackers is on the verge of being fatal. Of the five forwards we've signed, there's not one you'd say is good enough and that's before you ask why we've signed six all-round forwards and not a single specialised striker to begin with...

    Robinson has, over the piece, clearly been good for us but there have previously been questions if it was time for a fresh start...we've obviously made our mind up and shouting for him to go any time soon will be a waste of breath. But he's got serious work to do and the bean counters need to find - at the very least - a genuine starting number nine by the end of the window or we'll be struggling to get 10th.
