Not getting any better

Sloppy , to say the least

Not a good half but you have to say that it is very much a case of whatever can go wrong will go wrong this season. It should have been a free kick for the goal, the important debutante gets injured from it and it gets deflected in by the keeper.

100% a bad foul before the goal. Watch that in slow motion and he went in with his knee cynically. That could be Nico out for a while with a cracked rib.

Unbelievable that another key player, replacement to cover for Rodri, injured in 15 minutes.

We are cursed this season.

Not passing quick enough, not enough movement up front. Need a big step up.

Better second half but only just. We just lack passion and cutting edge.

That said what a wonderfully taken goal by Kevin.

Marmoush i really like.

All is well that ends well. A lovely finish from Kev. Khusanov impressed me too. Marmoush was willing to get stuck in despite some really poor fouls. Into the next round. I just hope that Nico is okay. I doubt that he will play on Tuesday though.

A bettet second half

Marmoush is decent

Echo comments on slow and passionless.

It's hard to watch players so static

Wasn't the best performance but showed a bit of character to come back to win.  Into the next round is all that matters.

Great goal from Kev. He's past his best and I'm sure this is his last season with us. He'll leave a big hole in midfield almost no one can fill.

Khusanov really showed a turn of pace a couple of times, and a couple of nice passes.

We need to prioritise the FA cup now. Best chance to win something this season. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all out!

I predict we will smash Plymouth in the final.

There is no shame on going out to the eventual winners.

Nice draw. Now Plymouth will get to see a decent club.

Take nothing for granted.

That said this is the type of draw we need given our extra tough run of games

Hopefully, quarter finals looming.
