    Bloody hell - Morro is back! That looks like a very strong side Warnock has put out for this one.

    I'll be listening via iFollow, no video stream available for the FA Cup.

    It'll be interesting to hear, if Tomlin gets a full 90 minutes.

    Think it's Mark Harris Sparks.

    Bugger - I thought for a minute we had someone to replace Mendez if he carries on like he's been recently.

    A couple of players back today and that's the only good news.

    Draw is not what we needed :steam:

    Agree with that Dai - other than Morro back, I can't see any positives in that result.

    Looked such a strong team on paper and I thought Warnock was going all out to win it from that selection. Didn't see the game, only listened to the ifollow commentary.

    Sounded as though there is still something lacking in the middle of the park - and I don't just mean Ralls wasn't there. Paterson sounded good but Halford was a makeweight and Mendez out wide looks like he's lost it. Dropping Halford back into the back 4 when Morro went off to allow Damour to come on was a decent move, but by then they were always looking to see the game out for a replay at their place - we lacked the spark to open them up.

    I like the idea of Zohore and Healey up front but they'll need service. This "new midfielder" guy (or maybe even two) are needed to fire the side up - at the moment we're like a damp squib against a League 2 side which, no disrespect intended, we should have seen off today.

    What a waste of an afternoon of my life. Absolutely appalling. One side wanted to win and it wasn't us.

    Zohore £15m. 15p would be over priced on that display. Didn't want to know.

    Tomlin spent the afternoon arguing with everyone - and himself.

    NML needs service to get one on one with his marker and after the first 10 minutes didn't get it.

    Halford couldn't pass a stool let alone a football.

    Good to see Morro back. Hope he went off as a precaution and not an injury.

    Healey tried hard and could have scored with some luck.

    Back 4 and keeper generally okay. Surprised we didn't get Hoilett on earlier.

    Mansfield could easily have won that. Need to pull fingers out in replay.

    And where do I start with the clown with the whistle, Lee Probert? Yet another in a line of incompetent referees.

    He refused to give us anything unless blindingly obvious and even then failed to give some. If he thought our players dived, e.g. Tomlin, Zohore and Patterson in particular, then book them rather than just do nothing and wave play on. He was awful.

    Oh dear, couldn't even beat lowly Mansfield with a strong team...... Warnock needs to turn it around fast as the Tan Man's itchy trigger finger may well take action.

    Also a woeful crowd for a Premiership wannabe team...

    I know your retort will be, at least we didn't lose, or, at least we're still in the FA Cup....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz:emoticon-0113-sleep:emoticon-0113-sleep:emoticon-0113-sleep, but we played kids away to a Premiership team and we have bigger issues to contest!!

    Hi supcon - I see you're out of your box again - at least you don't get your posts deleted over here...........<laugh>

    Poor game yesterday - wasn't there but it was bad enough listening to it. We need to find another couple of gears or we'll be on the slippery slope down the table.

    Your "bigger fish" maybe the one that got away after Tuesday but all credit to you for getting that far. The "biggest fish" will be decided over the next 20 league games. <ok>

    You know me Sparkey, I'm always up for some banter with my third world cousins. We will undoubtedly lose vs Man City over 2 legs, had it been a straight knock out and they didn't take it seriously I think we could have upset them as well, but not over 2 legs.

    As for the league, unlike Cardiff fans, no BCFC fans thought we would be anywhere near this high, so if we fall back then we have in all likliehood excedded pre-season expectations. For the record I always felt me we were a top 10-13 side and a good season may see us inside the top 10, lets ee where we land.....

    No problem with that supcon, but the Wizened Wurzel over there is very thin skinned - I've never seen someone get so upset when taken to task......<laugh>

    The "cut and paste king" has gone down the road of deleting posts now. <doh> Between him and the "**** for brains" loudmouth (you know who I mean <laugh>) it looks like most of your posters are running scared of retribution if they engage. Ah well, so be it - you can come across here any time and get abused. <ok>

    As for the football, I stuck a thread up over there back in August about expectation levels and there were some pretty clear cut opinions about both us and you. Apparently both of us had no chance of being in the top 6 by the New Year - there you go. <ok>

    I posted on the thread at the time that we wouldn't be Top 6 as I really didn't think we would be, or you come to that. I thought you may be 3-4 places 5-6 points above us at the half way mark - shows what I know...
