No reason we can't come away with a win today.
Scunny will probably regard this game as a potential bannana skin so hopefully we can make it as slippery as possible for them.
And of course there's the little matter of the financial rewards that come with going into the hat for the next round.
:scarf:
No Gysai today. :dontknow:
Looks like we have had to fill the bench with two Academy players. :dontknow:
If so, that's crazy as we have 4 players out on loan!
After letting a 2 goal lead slip we must have a serious look at our defence .I thought we had this game in the bag at half time but alas it wasn't meant to be
No disgrace in a 4-2 defeat on the Road at a National League Club like Scunny. Little lack of experience at the back maybe cost us.

If you weren't there, I don't think you should be throwing such ill-informed statements about. And if you were there, with all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about.
We were all over them for most of the first half. Close man marking seemed to frustrated the Scunthorpe players.
But after half time they had a change of tactics and we ended up getting splattered. Of course we had some luck in the first half as well. We still got stuck in, our luck ran out, but not for the want of trying.
I am very proud of our team and playing staff who all battled until the final minute. Despite the disappointing result the players all came over to us, stood in a line across the pitch, and as we applauded them, they applauded us. It was actually quite an emotional few minutes, to be honest.
In the end it was not our day. And the fact that we put two goals past them, when you look at the gulf between the two teams, I'm proud of what we did achieve -against all the odds.
:scarf: At least we gave a good account of ourselves, bet they were a bit concerned at half time. Onward and upward is the only thing we can do now!
