For 20 minutes we played sharp, quick football and created 5 really decent chances, two of which were converted. The rest of the game I have no clue how to explain.
We took the pace out of the game, went sideways, backwards and long and never got any sort of rhythm back. Very lucky to get the win as they deserved a replay at least.
The game will tell Hakan and Still all they need to know about this group and who will be changed in the coming months. Controlling the modified and wanting the ball there with composure is something we have lacked for a very long time.
Still, into the next round so all ended on a positive.

We had some players out there today who I don't think Hitchen would be in a hurry to sign.

On the other hand, the Lino on the Main Stand side was amongst the biggest / most well built / chubbiest I think I've ever seen. .

Not a good performance over 90 minutes, probably the worst of the season at home. Excellent for 20 minutes after Hitchin got their fluke goal but what happened after that ? So flat, so poor, Hitchen must have come away feeling very disappointed. Terrific penalty save by Cole and 2 excellent goals by Chesmain and Akanbi. After that all very forgettable. No punch up front today and not good enough in midfield again. Johnson also deserves some credit for the follow up to Cole's save. Their player looked destined to put in the rebound, but fantastic alertness and a superb sliding tackle kept us in the lead. I wonder if today might have been last chance saloon for Chei. Not sure he actually contributed a great deal and looks far too lightweight. Justin did more in 20 minutes than Nana did in 70.

Johnson put in a great tackle. You are on the money with all your points today, daveu !

Ryan Johnson has done really well in every game he's played and the odd mistake he makes, George is there to tidy up. They make a great combination. Can't agree about Justin though, he didn't go past anyone and lost the ball too easily from where I was standing. Really want him to do well, but after a promising start to the season, he seems a bit lost at the moment.

Unlucky Hitchin all over us second half !!! We have some players we just need to get rid off now had too many chances They weren't all over us. They had three chances, we had about the same. We were poor, but they weren't any better. Game was won in the first half, and I always felt if they'd scored again we had enough about us to go and get another.

Just to add... that's one of the major differences between this side and last season's.

I don’t want us to draw them of course. Would rather a lower league side
