Young Tom Dawson coming on for Harrison, Great for the lad.

4 of the next 5 games are at home. They could be crucial, so after two defeats, we have to get back to winning ways as losing can also become a habit!

5 of our best players never played today. It makes a big difference to what happens on the pitch. I never want us to lose but think we’re better off out of it. Two big games coming up next week. Should be at full strength.

It just confirms what we know ,we do not have strength in depth.
Losing can become a habit but this team was a makeshift team
Byron has never recovered from the injury the first time he was here and is only brought in when we are winning and comes on to hold the ball up and give Quigley a rest.
Next week is the game to concentrate on

best out of the trophy for me, concentrate now on the league, no distractions back to winning ways next saturday

Let's get the last 2 results into context by all accounts we should have got something at Dover &today we made 6 changes so no need to even contemplate losing any of the next few matches #Believe

I also don't really mind being out of the trophy, but the second half sounds like a total capitulation. With plenty of first team names in the team that's slightly worrying.
Feel for the folk that made the journey to watch.
Positive head on. Lots of key players missing. One less front to fight on. Get everyone firing on all.cylinders for next Saturday

Saturday's game is now even bigger IMO. Big performance needed.

As Adam has just said on Radio Cumbria, it is worrying that very few of our fringe players look capable of stepping in if a key first team player gets injured. Possibly Brown and Granite at a pinch.

Yeovil out, Harrogate through. FC Halifax beaten at home by Halesowen.

Bromley v Solihull Moors 2 - 2

Think we’ve said for a while a back up centre back/left sided defender and a quick striker are needed but Evatt seems happy with what he’s got. When you look to the bench when we are losing Harrison and Hindle don’t inspire coming on and creating a comeback

Clearly didn't fancy it today, but it's obvious to anyone that we've only got 12/13 decent players. Makes our league position even more remarkable.

Agree, Granite was in great form before he got injured and Browns reliable enough. He’s done ok this season. God help us if Quigs gets injured.

Halifax clearly focused on promotion from the NPL.
