    .............and move on to the next round

    And if you look at some of the other results from last night then this seems to have been the theme

    So why bother with this competition (whatever its name is) in the first place?

    And to all of you that are interested.........I couldn't get to the game last night

    agree that scunny had no intention of going for it, wouldn't say reds didn't want to win, we were just lacking any creativity, huffed and puffed a lot but little else

    If we dadn't wanted to win, wouldn't we have put a scratch team in rather than our first choice eleven?

    If you didn't go to the match but have come to that conclusion anyway, too bad.

    Did we lack creativity though? 29 shots suggests we created plenty, just lacking in quality to put the ball in the net. Some of the 'finishing' was rank bad, COG and Daggers the main culprits, but there were plenty of others who were poor in that respect.

    Jean Yves is a real threat at corners and set pieces. He won loads last night, if he can learn to head a ball down and on target we would be quids in.
