We played terribly but its not because of some mythical inferiority complex in cup games.

How many times must we get beat by lower sides before you believe it's an inferiority complex

[Hale Alty]

So let me get this right, this season we have won three FA Cup and Trophy games and lost two, so our tactics in cup games are all wrong.

Well it's pretty hard to lose more than two...  

Which is the point I was making.

Well, thanks for that stunning insight.

Very clever.

I had a decent chat with a ling term Bath fan after the game (he went to the match vs Stafford the only time they have got to the Trophy Quarter Finals 30 years ago for example).

He said that their performance yesterday was "easily their best of the season" and that we were much better than Bristol Rovers.

My view is that Bath were better than Kidderminster - they attacked intelligently, working the ball wide and not just hoofing long balls.  They also defended stoutly in the last 10 minutes.

And also we were below par (marginally) compared to Eastleigh or Kidderminster - but having won those games "undeservedly" maybe this was simply the counter example - the "better" team not winning.

This was certainly not a repeat of Blyth!

Bath didn't play better than kiddy however the better team did win yesterday eastleigh and kiddy completely different games one of them Stuart didn't have a save to make the other he has his best game in 5 years apart from that your post is ok

Seems to be to much accepting and excusing on this forum

Even justifying

“The aim was a 19-man group with a nice average age about them and that is what we have achieved.”

Mike Williams retires owing to injury: 18.

Greg Wilkinson is loaned out to Stockport County: 17.

There are no new recruits/replacements.

Before yesterday's game at Bath City:

Sean Williams is suspended: 16.

Peter Cavanagh is injured: 15.

So, for yesterday's important FA Trophy tie, the management team had a meagre total of 15 players to select from, two of whom are goalkeepers and another, Gillespie, whose contribution this season has, alas, been utterly negligible.

I do fear that our 'squad' is looking a trifle threadbare.....and we still face a few tricky assignments yet before we can all rest easy.

God help us if Reeves were to get injured.

The two reserve strikers really are a desperate pair. Gillespie will surely never score again, and Kyle has scored 7 goals in his last 104 Conference Premier appearances. Four of those have been scored against Telford.

As yet, bizarrely, neither Perry nor Gillespie has scored a goal at the J Davidson Stadium this season.

Why would you stand with the Bath fans?

[hsmith1]

main reason being i was on crutches and could not be bothered to walk around to the other end(had my knee replaced)

[MadFrankie]

Fair play, Twerton Park is a bit like Moss Lane in terms of lumps and bumps on the terracing so don't blame you.
At least you don't now need to walk up that hill at Dover in the next round !

I agree that it's hardly surprising on the evidence of their respective playing abilities, however, it still represents some sort of bizarre achievement for us to have somehow managed to end up with two forwards who have yet to score a goal on home turf to date this season.  

Gillespie fluffed his big moment against Alfreton Town.
