Sonny Perkins came good at last with a goal and a good assist. Josh Keeley did well with some vital saves including saving a penalty.
Really poor second yellow card picked up by Sweeney. A third Boreham wood goal was ruled out in a tight offside decision.

World class save from their goalie as well.

First yellow looked like he actually had no options to throw it to but second one is really stupid.

Awful pen from the BW player, were their other misses similar?

The key moment was Dom Ball feigning concussion after doing his hamstring so we could bring a sub on. If we went down to 9 men, we were out.

Poor keeping for Perkins goal but fair play. A few lovely touches to make space to get a shot off and kept his head well for the assist

In the FA Cup, teams are allowed to make five substitutions during a match, plus an additional substitution if the game goes into extra time.

However, teams can make an additional substitution if a player is suspected to have a concussion.


Prats was the 6th sub in E/T

So Doms award winning theatrics were totally unnecessary?

Yes

We clearly weren’t aware of that.

It was crap

It was a Win

We didn’t win, we drew and went thru on pens!

Under the rules of the game, winning on penalties mean you win.However you look at it we are in round 2 & they aren't. We won, accept it

We won

BHW lost the game that was theirs for the taking. We were awful after our goals. A third (off the crossbar) would have seen up kill the game.
We’re too afraid of the ball, therefore no flow, therefore no results. Easy to analyse, hard to resolve.

Yeah, against National League South opponents. He could never do that in the league . He would go missing like he always does

Everyone saying Perkins wouldn't have scored that goal if it was in League One obviously missed Hemming's first 3 weeks at the club.

looked comfortable (as they should do against lower league opposition) until the subs. After that lost all control of the game - tactically and especially physically - bullied off the ball so many times - midfield went awol. Total inability to get the ball to "stick" up front so possession was constantly lost. When you put Galbraith at right back you lose so much in midfield. To be fair Sweeney was one of the better players but to do what he did when already on a yellow was pretty silly. Their 19 looked a decent player - direct and quick (neither attribute was evident in our team) Extremely lucky to get through.

What on earth was their keeper doing for Perkins' goal? Just a routine save surely.

We won...end of.
Some on here are so negative.
So if a team wins the world cup on penalties, have they actually not won the world cup
