And there you have it. Push gor a third, let’s win comfortably, oo we have them on the back foot. This game sums up this club and the squad we have.

Struggling against a conference south team. We really are in trouble this season. Bang on for relegation as things stand. We all know nothing is going to be done about it in January as well.

Wonder if they’ll put season ticket prices up again for league 2 football…

Seems once again the subs come on and we fall apart. Brown, Obiero, Jaiyesimi seem to have made us worse
Brown has gone backwards and looks like El-Miz was carrying him and why did we sign DJ. ? He's bloody useless .

This
With a 50% save rate I would look to park the bus. The keepers at our club currently are sh*t. If we now look for a third we are going to get sucker punched.

Sit in, defend and be grateful that we scraped through.
Sometimes I hate myself being so insightful 😉

I had a 2-2 end result feeling before the game, hope I am not right ?
I had us down for a 1-2 win so would be extra pleased with it staying like this
But extra time then penalties, no replays now....not good !
Fourth official has announced 6 minutes of added time.

Yeah well , that isn't going to age well . Being outfought by a National League South team doesn't bode well for our survival hopes in League One . Jesus H Christ . 3-2 to Borehamwood after being 2-0 up . There is no sugar coating this . We're fcuking sh*t

Going cheap with our summer recruitment looks like working out to be bloody expensive

We’ll probably scrape through this in ET or pens and it’ll all be talk about how well we battled through to make it to the next round etc. when the truth is that whatever happens from now we’ve just struggled to win in 90 mins against a side 3 divisions below us.

The signings made in the summer really are atrocious. Somebody needs to be held accountable for such a disastrously bad collection of transfers.

To the fans who have come along since 2017 welcome to the norm 👋🏻

Owners that aren’t really bothered, struggling in the cup against semi-pro sides and relegation scraps

There’s no way this bunch of wasters will be up for a relegation scrap. Half the squad is full of loanees who aren’t impacted if we go down anyway.

Extra time. Let’s hope we have superior fitness. But 2-0 up against a NL side and to concede two is bad. Both their goals coming after 4 substitutions.

6 loanees
Almost as many out of contract

Basically most of the squad will have one eye elsewhere from January onward

Two things:

We are so f*cking naive- they score from a set piece, so 2 mins from FT we foul them just outside the box 2-3 times.

Second, massive Richie fan but there’s starting to be some merit to the criticism of his subs. Putting the best player on the pitch to right back is mental and leaving Perkins on to cover the right wing when we are comfortably winning is bizarre
