amazed at just how quiet their fans were - we out sang a league one team at their place by a million miles. So proud of the team they gave everything - special mention for Reeves who in possibly his biggest game for the club was asked to play most of it out of position which he did willingly, tracking back as required - totally professional performance. I was feeling very confident of our chances at Moss Lane 'cos they were rubbish (I thought FGR played better in a gale force wind, torrential rain on a borderline waterlogged pitch than Colchester did today), so just hope they get a crap draw in the next round - coming so close to Old Trafford would be gutting, much easier to move on from just missing out on a trip to Northampton!
Have to disagree .
Yes I'm as gutted as you.
But we have done the same?!?!?
Having been watching Alty for over 50 years, wasn't it good to go to a friendly league club.
I have been to many a league ground, and have been scared.
I wish them all the best in the next round.
What has FGR got to do with this.
If we had played like we did today, we would have beaten them.
Before you ask, yes I was there.
Have we done the same as what? Yes it was a friendly feel to the place but I didn't comment on that. The only reason I was wishing them a rubbish draw is to ease my pain - they can play Man Utd in the third round and win next year and I'll be pleased for them. (They might even raise a song then!)
FGR was just trying to say that there are teams in our league who a miles better than them
I'm saying, that we did the same to Guiseley as Colechester did to us.
Also saying, it was a friendly club. Why should we wish them a crap draw.
The other point is, we never got out of the blocks at FGR. If we had played at FGR like we did yesterday it could have been a completely different game.
To finish with, My own point of view is, that I don't think they were rubbish. We played superbly but still lost. They scored three good goals.
It's good to discuss these things. If we all thought the same, life would be boring.😉👍
