Match Thread - Bromsgrove Sporting

Quoted from RonMariner

In the post match interview Hurst said that MacAtee was injured in training on Thursday. Hopefully he will be back next week, but he wouldn’t have started today. So we really do need some cover in this department.

I reckon this might be a bit of mind games from Hurst. Highly likely McAtee would be rested today anyway and to leave him off the bench gives another squad player a chance to get some potential minutes. Keep Yeovil guessing ahead of next week but at the minute I think whatever team we put out would give any team at our level a good game.

Just think back to last season when we went out tamely to Dagenham and Redbridge, who hadn't won for weeks and were a league below us.

With a much changed side today, we made them look like a Sunday league team and could have had 10. We opened them up at will and Lenny should have had a hat trick.

One of the most one sided FA Cup games I can ever remember.

I don't want to sound cocky but Hurst was right in his post we should have scored more, but another 5 goals from a side that looks like it's oozing with confidence. I was impressed with Pearson & Longe-King today I know their attack wasn't that much but I thought they looked really solid in defence. Fox continues to impress.  

No Just Back thread today?  

LJL has a lot of qualities to admire but sadly finishing isn't one of them, which is why he didn't have a career at a higher level. To be fair to him, he's been out for a good while and he was obviously a bit ring rusty. Yes he spurned some gilt edged chances but I felt he was a little unlucky at times and their keeper made a couple of very good saves from him also. The 2nd penalty was pretty dreadful though!

Bloody hell I hope not!

I thought LJL looked a bit too developed myself. Looked a bit muscle bound and static on occasion.

He's no Akinfenwa.

I think LJL has deliberately gone towards the Akinfenwa route. He's had a  fair few injuries since his previous stint with us so can't do the running he once did (to be fair, it was a hell of a lot of running!). As an already big bloke, putting on a bit of extra upper body muscle wouldn't have been difficult for him and gives him the chance to affect games in a different way. Shooting aside, he was pretty good today with his link up play. Just a pity he still gets 'goalline fever' when presented with a sight of goal!

Best thing ’John-Smith’ offers us is a different option

John Lewis with his back to goal, more Trotter’s Trading the other way..

Just rewatched the game having slyly followed it on my phone during a pub lunch with the in-laws. My only definitive conclusion is that Jermaine Beckford is the worst co-commentator that has ever lived.
