Said Williams injured
Also unhappy with the goalkeeper and centre back pairing and some players getting at each other apparently 🙁

We were playing a championship side.

Reality check needed.
Quite... what game were people watching?! There really wasn't that much in it and they're 2 divisions above. Odd...

Not our best game, but I don’t think it was awful against a team who had a stronger lineup the many were expecting. That said, there was some very lacklustre defending, and I’m still yet to see Seymour influence a game at all. Could be a blessing in disguise given how we need to catch up league games sooner or later mind.

Poor from us. If we dont bounce back on Tuesday I will start to get worried
What 😅 We haven't played since a very even battle with 3rd placed FGR 13 days ago

The league is very even - we're 9th in the form table, but have taken only 3pts less than leaders Carlisle in our last 6 games

We haven't played in 2 weeks and I thought it showed, looked rusty. Some nice transitions and we seemed more of a unit than Wednesday but they had superior quality in front of goal.

Nothing to be particularly worried about and given our games in hand in L2, it's not really a bad thing we're out.
This is ridiculous not a bad thing we're out, we had a chance of being in the fourth round of the Fa Cup, with huge prize money and telly money, plus the kudos, just ridiculous.

We could have got Chorley in the next round who seemed to dispose easily of a Championship side.

Look I have not been critical of Matt at all since he's come in, but he seems to agree, this was a thoroughly poor and anaemic performance, we need to do better or this season will fizzle to mid-table obscurity

They had 4 on the bench, seems quite ravaged.
I think the point is that they had a decent core of first team players on the pitch.

In RaWZ we trust....Amen.
Very disappointing performance.Yes Wednesday are a couple of divisions above the Grecians but that was a pretty nondescript effort.

It’s mind blowing the overreaction on here. horrible game to watch... but it really shouldn’t reflect on our season.

That doesn't sound good if players are getting at each other. Our team spirit has always been good under Matt, I hope that doesn't change.
