Well said. It's all well and good people bemoaning the team selection but let's remember we played Wimbledon Sat, Crawley Tue and Shrewsbury Fri. That's 3 games in 6 days.

I know we could have got a lucrative tie in the third round, but then on the other hand we could have got another league two or league one side. We will never know.

I didn't want to see Crowley, McGoldrick, Langstaff, Jones all on the pitch for the full 90 min with the risk of them picking up injuries. We've got a busy period coming up with six league games over the course of three weeks starting next Saturday and for me those games are the priority.

Besides that side tonight was good enough to win that game and the Shrewsbury player who scored the hattrick will have got the easiest one of his career in professional football for that I've no doubt. Three mistakes cost us.

It's done it's gone and now as the old saying goes we can concentrate on the league and we've got 26 league games to focus on now with no further distractions. Let's have a cup run another year when we might not have injuries to key players.
