FA Cup Dudley Town

[yeltz85]

I don't really comment on here after games, never have done. I normally take a step back and calm down. I'm still not calm now and don't think I will be for a while.

Im starting to question why I spend hours a week updating the website, a few hours a week volunteering down the ground, volunteering on match days whilst still paying hard earned money to watch the Yeltz. All of which I like doing and will still probably continue to do as I love the club. That will not change.... But when I see on of my close friends who is entitled to his opinion being shouted at by a paid player at the club (who has only been there a few weeks), I think it's a complete disgrace.

It's not only me that volunteers down the club, there are lots of people that put a lot of hard work in down The Grove, too many to mention. I feel like they have all been let down big time today.

Did the players not realise how much revenue the game would have brought into the club today and how much this would have eased all our efforts in trying tirlesly to get spomsors into the club?

Some players played well, but I can fill both my hands with the number who didn't play well.

Good luck to Dudley in the next round, I hope you do well. The most we can hope for now is a decent run in the league... If we dont turn it around, I can see us playing in front of 100-150 fans each week at the bottom of the table.

We was rubbish. Everyone in the ground could see it. So whats Milligans problem. If he and the team dont want the fans telling them they are s**t then play well. Then we will tell them how good they are. So till then deal with the critics and sort your heads out . Beacuse that performance was no where near good enough. Sorry shaun i dont think your the man to take us fwd

Firstly I think swipey, the first post was exactly how I felt after the final whistle! And the fan having a go at the players was exactly what I felt like doing.

The thing is we lacked creativity, tactics and enthusiasm all but a few! Surely that has to come from the top! I believe that this will never happen! And after losing embarrassingly to a team that I can imagine is being paid peanuts if at all , what will the rest of the season be like????? Now we haven't progressed in the cup I'm sure we won't be able to bolster the team as easy?

Dudley deserved to win, ( and at a canter) they will get the money, maybe build up more fans if they win a couple more get a good name in the local area! This is something that we will carry on doing the opposite!

It is early in the season still, so is it too early for the manager to go?? Or is it too late already?

Another season without the FAcup, another season without it's revenue!

A lot of the sentiments already posted sum up my own feelings on yesterday's debacle. As soon as they scored the winner we were never going to get anything out of the game. Its another major opportunity missed to generate a few quid for the club and cranks up the pressure to do something in the Trophy where we have a difficult away draw.

What I am failing to understand is the for the first hour against the lot up the A458 a fortnight ago, we had shape, played confidently and although a friendly, made a team in a higher division look distinctly ordinary. In the two home games since, starting line up has been the same yet none of the above has been evident.

We have no width, the 3 in the middle are never more than 10 yards apart and the same applies for the front 3. We look too rigid and lack any movement with the exception of Haseley. On numerous occasions yesterday and against Mickleover, there were acres of room out wide that we didn't use and landed up seeing the opposition full backs running riot. More concerning yesterday though was that we gave Dudley room to play. Its often the case in cup ties that that the team from the lower league make it difficult for you usually off the back of a "get in their faces and stop them playing" team talk but we made it easy for them.

Again, we looked a bit better once Jean-Michel and Warren Brookes came in but by then we were chasing the game and another error cost us the tie. Give both of them a start tomorrow as they've shown more than some who have been in the side so far.

It is highly likely that the players were trying to impress a Mr Hackett with a blankety blank cheque book.

Yesterday was worth £1,750 to the winning club. Not to mention more gate money and profit on cafe, programmes, golden goal etc and the possibility of more winning fees etc etc.

Too early to sack the manager, try asking Coventry? Andy Thorne gone after 3 straight draws.
