    Don't have to touch the ball to give away a free kick.

    God forbid we get a run of injuries beyond what we have now. None of this lot look anywhere near capable of stepping into a crisis.

    He is only 17 plays in the under 18 squad, great experience for the lad.

    Including Andre Gray I am listening to the game on Hornets Player and I didn't even know he was playing.

    Bet the bus drivers for the team and fans don't fancy another late night (or the fans who went to both )

    It’s a tough skill to get right. You’ve got everyone looking at you, the whistle to listen to, the ball not moving at all. Anything could happen.

    Well I'd ask more questions of the experience players.

    Main difference will be the physical ability between the sides - they can probably push us off the ball easily on a pudding of a pitch.

    Cannot say I was expecting much tbh ..

    Sure not good to lose but hardly a surprise .

    I agree.
    This will reflect on our club and confidence will be at a low point yet again.
    Completely bloody hopeless squad players. Get rid of then.
    Stop taking on drop outs from other teams.
    Totally crap against a relegation threatened side who are a poor team.
    What a waste...

    Perfect result. Not remotely embarrassing. We literally threw the game by choosing players no one other than @The Recluse had ever heard of.

    Don't know how i feel, it wasn't anything like a first team, away from home on a awful pitch. The thing that we should be embarrassed about was the first match (only because we threw away a 3.0 lead) not really tonight. This cup upset will be quickly forgotten. It won't even be the main news up in Birkenhead/Merseyside what with Liverpool winning tonight. We go again.

    It won’t affect confidence. If that was a real threat or concern, Pearson would have played a stronger team.

    His comments before the first game about it being of zero importance to the club show you that.

    The only annoyance will be that Pearson gave some players a chance to perform - and none of them took it. He should be on to Gino and Giraldi tomorrow to highlight how poor the squad depth is.

    Want to be angry about going out? Blame the FA and BT Sport. The game should never have been scheduled for tonight.

    We only beat Woking 2-0 last year with a strong team so not sure what you are hoping for from this game ?

    As AH says we blew the tie in the first game really.

    I am surprised we took it to extra time after going behind tbh.

    Gray didn't take his chance again.

    Apart from Kabasele the rest are fringe or kids we'll probably never seen again!

    Pearson has confirmed the same team tonight will start against Everton, so it could happen.

    Thank god we're out. No chance of winning it and we are still in such a perilous position in the league that the last thing we want or need is a cup run.
