    Corner swung in from the left, looked like the keeper tipped it over but the ref disagrees.

    Kedwell and Hobden off, Okwumo and Hand on.

    Ooh, nice move down the left, and Huke's low cross is spilled by their keeper, but no-one's near enough to take advantage.

    Would it be uncharitable to suggest that a Newcastle defender is taking a Pearcey tactical breather in their area, or has he just got cramp?

    Great block by Assimwe there when we looked in a bit of trouble.

    Huke makes another good run into the area and wins us a corner.

    That's cleared and Okwumo has a shot from a LONG way out that goes a yard or so wide.

    Newcastle are making a sub.

    Ooh! Hand has a crossed tipped away by the keeper, looked like it was going out for a corner but it bounced off the corner flag :)

    We have a corner, ball comes back off the post!

    Karoy Anderson concedes a soft free kick, and then gets booked for dissent by the looks of it.

    Kanu has a shot from halfway down the LH side of the penalty area, but it's over the bar.

    Bah! Great foot race between 3 of our attckers and 4 of their defence, looks like we get a shot away and then the lino flags as the keeper parries.

    Yes, they deserved better but did fail to take some chances.

    Entertaining game. Played well. Trouble was our defenders are good footballers but have a lot to learn about defending. 
    Would it have been different if Mitchell had played?

    Very poor defending to lose that game. Just not acceptable at any level.

    On the night, Parkinson took both his chances on the counter attack, Kanu scored with a good strike but lost his radar when it looked easier to score.  Did we have 60% of possession but they got blocks in or we missed chances. The boys will be gutted as we were the better team but we are out of the cup because they took their fewer chances. Ralfi Hand very nearly scored late on with an audacious shot that the keeper just got a hand to and we hit the post from another cross.

    At 2-1 we should have won but getting hit with a sucker punch looked naive but they are young and saw some quality and potential. Let's hope it's with Cafc.

    Anderson and Kanu definately look they can push onwards. A game they should never have lost. Defending cost them the game.

    Shame about the result but not the performance.

    On the whole the best team lost. The weakness was in defence. . I think Zac Mitchels ability to play the ball well with the ball at his feet and his sure  passing may have made  the difference.
    But in a way  good experience for the lads at the back today. They will learn how to cope with a good counter attacking side.
    An enjoyable game.
