    Totally disagree, if all the players missing today are injured then questions have to be asked at how players are getting so many injuries after playing one or two games, how fragile are these footballers? It has to be illness and injuries because if it isn?t Hamshaw needs to take a serious look at himself in the mirror. He would have thrown away momentum but also ?50k, can we afford to treat the cups like we do? Cup runs earn money, it was stated by Newport when they had their cup run a few years back it earned them enough money to keep the club going for 3 seasons!!!. You talk about the league as if we are a top club looking for promotion, we are 15th and haven?t been in the top half for more than 3 weeks in 1.25 seasons. We made no attempt to win that game when they went down to 10 men, we lost a game at home to a L2 team with 10 men, and the manager gets your backing, unbelievable. Some awful decisions by Hamshaw today. The bright points of today were Douglas and Duncan, both were excellent. How is Duncan not in and around the match-day squad, that lad has something and with all the injuries we get and the fact we play 3 CBs every game means we need 4 in every squad you have to have Douglas or Duncan on the bench.

    We have a far better chance of getting in the playoffs than we have of getting to the fourth round.

    We played without defenders for most of that game. Out of courtesy you would have thought Swindon would have played without strikers, but they didn't.

    As I said in the match thread, an absolutely winnable game but we didn't show up. Shocking performances from various regular players, Sherif, Martha, Powell, Gore. Just not good enough from any of them, and against 10 men.

    Well done to Swindon, they totally deserved it.

    Fuming at the club right now, waste of time going.
