Sadlier not starting.


From what I’ve read he’s been a bit off his game recently (although to be fair he’s still producing goals/assists) so might be trying to get a reaction from him.

By the way there are live goal clips on the BBC for those at home tonight.

If you scour your brain for which team might be the highest FA Cup scorers in the past two and a bit seasons, you'd probably say Manchester City. And you'd be right.

But the second-highest scorers in the competition? Doncaster Rovers.
From the BBC , wounded how many goals we have scored in total

Not a massive surprise really, I bet very few teams have even scored 3 or 4 goals in a game in that time, whilst we’ve scored 6 at Ebbsfleet & 7 against Chorley.

Coppinger and the three stooges up front. Let’s hope we have new players in mind because nothing on the bench to improve that.

This, times a million!!!!   Dieng must be under strict instructions to play it out regardless if the defender is marked!!!  No one in their right mind would play some of his balls out otherwise...

We are getting a good few breaks looking dangerous, but not turning them into decent chances..

Ref is a bit lightweight too..

You don’t rate Sadlier then.?  And isn’t May as good as, or better than Gomes.?

That or you haven’t seen our bench tonight.?

We are simply not at it at all. More quality required up top - I know we keep saying it but it’s so bloody obvious!

Don’t be shocked if they win this, as they look far more threatening.

Gillingham's result is only a good one if we can beat them.
Otherwise Sunderland would have made us more on the gate money.

It’s a decent chance of progression regardless, we may win, we may not. We will never know what would’ve happened if we played Sunderland.

The good news coming from Sunderland going out is that unless we get to the fourth round of the FA Cup, our match against them won’t be postponed at the back end of the January.. if we do get to the fourth round I don’t think we will be that fussed about rescheduling it! Win win!

I don’t agree that we struggled when playing the ball out from the back.
We were never in trouble or looked as though we might concede as a result of it.
Some of the close control and passing from the back was superb.
I actually look forward to seeing what we do when we have a goal kick.
One of our goals tonight came from playing out from the back.
We create better opportunities by doing this rather than just lumping the ball up the field.
The fans panic but not the players.

Think we need to change it up sooner when like vs Burton they pressed us every time if we had done it sooner gaps may have opened up and kept them guessing but glad we seemed to have spent the time off wisely
