Well that was boring. We were dire first half, playing some kind of weird diamond that nobody seemed to understand and we had no width at all. When the full backs did get forward the crosses were mostly rubbish. They were the better side and looked the likely scorers but there was a very strong wind in their favour. A half that won't live long in the memory.

Second half after a slow start, we gradually pinned them in more and more, with the inevitable goal coming from Pittman and a superb strike it was. Only one winner after that but 3-0 was slightly flattering.

Thought Marshall was god awful first half but improved in the second, not that it was difficult. Bogle i thought was inept today. Chuntering at the ref and just being mostly ineffective. His positioning and runs off the ball looked all wrong at times to me and his finishing was not up to much either. Henderson looks like a good footballer but doesn't have the cut and thrust for this league and i don't see him playing much part. Best player was Nolan, who played some very astute passes in behind, gets around the pitch quickly and scored. Most impressive was seeing him bust a gut to get free for our third, when the game was won and we were in injury time. Really like the look of him and he will make a good partner for Dis. New lad just did his job with nowt to report.

High quality, all action first half - in opposite land. Looked a certain 0-0 for most of the game and 3-0 flattered us.

Agree with Ginny re: Nolan - very good passer of the ball and a good signing so far I'd say. Definitely motm today.

Where on earth the alleged 1600 crowd was I don't know. There must have been a big turnout from the local ghost community - was there an offer on for them?

Got to agree with that Ginny . Didn't realise how cold it was until I got back home .  They weren't anything special just an awkward side to play against.  We just can't break a team down . Their number 9 , big lad , looked the part , shielded and laid the ball off well , but not much help around him . They were pretty solid at the back which with us playing this diamond thing  made it easy for them . Bogle  and Pittman doesn't work , ref didn't give us much and Clay getting booked was harsh considering what they were doing . An expected win , hard work , weather wasn't good , into the quarter final .

According to Havant FM one of their players should of been sent off (last man I think) and they should have been awarded a penalty for handball...just asking.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

The more I see of Bogle the more I agree with your assessment of him, lots to learn by lots of potential too seems, to play much better when partnered by Podge

Bogle out muscled their centre back for about the only time all match and looked like getting away, only to be pulled back. It was a foul and he was the last man, so would have had to go. Think the ref bottled it for that reason as it wasn't a really bad foul, but a foul all the same. Good job it didn't have an impact on the game in the end.

Can't remember a hand ball in the box.

Neither really but they didn't provide much of a test. Fairly straight forward debut.

What happened to the really useless Nolan who was signed a few weeks back and sent the Fishy into meltdown?  He doesn't seem to be playing for us any more?
