Lawton did more shouting from the side of the tunnel than any of them on the pitch.

When the going gets tough most of them hide.

You have to congratulate Witton for putting in an excellent performance today and deservedly taking the spoils.
However  I thought our players were a disgrace to the shirt, and it would be unfair to single out individuals for a collective performance that lacked pretty much everything needed to win a cup tie!
There was no passion, no heart, no stomach for a battle, and absolutely no leadership.
As for next weekend, I am sorry but at the moment and for the first time ever, we will be missing the match by choice and will probably take the camper and be in Wales somewhere.

Is it that bad?

We are still unbeaten at home in the league and we are rising up the table. We were utter crap today but the FA cup is always different to the any other match. Had this game been a Tuesday night senior cup match we might have won with a half strength side. It's a case of a so-called bigger team going to sleep and getting caught by the underdog who wanted it more.

Having said that we have had a tendancy this season to either be great or a complete disgrace to football. Unfortunately, today was the latter.

I will get slated but he got sacked because football fans are very fickle

I had to go for a five mile run after the game before posting

So so disapointed today- all that potential money gone- Witton deserved it and wanted it more- good luck to them

At least we can concentrate on mid table mediocraty now

We are just hot and cold every week

How can we have a plan B when we can't even fill the subs bench?? You can only work with the tools you've got....

Sounds like there were 1 or 2 tools out there.

Good comment about the subs; should have had a couple of youth players to make up the 7.

I thought this too at first but that manager question session last year suggested it was the right decision in the end

We sacked Graham and got relegated anyway, and we got knocked out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle again. I'm quite sure Graham Heathcote could have got us to tenth in the Conference North. I'm saying he should come back, or that Lee Sinott won't eventually take us higher, but at the moment it seems that it didn't actually make any difference.

Did you attend that fans meeting just prior to Graham Heathcotes departure? That why he went, and we didn't get rid of him, was it not a mutual agreement?

I got worried in the first minute today - it was obvious Witton wanted it more - they started with a lot of energy, lots of closing down, harrying ... and our passing went down the toilet.
Witton did a good job on us, they were far more physical, to the point that if they hadn't subbed their yellow carded players there's no way they would have finished with 11 on the pitch.  

Too many Alty players had an off day, their attitude just seemed to be: 'meh'

Similar to the abject dross in the cup exit to Gateshead last year under McKenna.
Very disappointing.

Bernard was there today, we should ask him back as the last man to deliver us a title

The first 20 minutes set the tone. Never showd up, the goal was a rare Lees error and we chased the game.

As for cowards/no shows then yeah are best palyers never turned up.

Hurt, humilitaed yes, I love the FA cup.

On a even more sh*tter note there's  an agent hoping to sign Reeves for County within the wek.

He is the same agent who is trying to tout him to everyone and the same bloke who was the Wrexham scout.  Sounds like a bit of a chancer to be honest.
