Surely the cup run is still very much in the here and now with our game against Burton Albion yet to come.
I understand some people's concern given our poor league form, but I'm right behind Gary and the players.

Ditto, no need to panic yet. Start to worry when we’ve played the games in hand and it’s February.
Although we do look to have a very difficult Dec.

So we were brilliant for the first half hour but a football match lasts for 90 minutes. Earlier in the season struggled to get going in 1st half now seems it’s the second. I didn’t go yesterday but heard from someone who did and was told came out in second half and played cautiously. Seems like the story of the season so far it’s like we go out to try avoid losing rather than trying to win. Evident by the goals for tally and as far as yesterday is concerned start with 1 forward on the pitch and 1 who stayed on the bench and end up with 4 centre backs on the pitch. One man advantage and still go defensive which clearly didn’t work! Accept we have 2 forward players unfit but 2 were available yesterday and played 1 so wonder how many forward players will be on the pitch when all are fit? No doubt there is a reason we don’t know about but when struggling for goals why is Dan Griffith out on loan? Scored a few goals for Evesham so what is there to lose in giving him a run out?
Agree with Frank about cup run clouding league form. Once out of the cup the poor league form will be the centre of attention and if we continue to play the way we do in the league that will draw criticism. We have had a brilliant cup run which ,no doubt, has done wonders for the club’s finances but our league position,and form, in reality are awful. Can only hope once out of the cup league form will improve

The facts are we have beaten a league 1 team, no denying that is an amazing feat and should be applauded and will always be remembered, the rest of our cup run was against teams we really should be beating, and that we did although not without a really struggle. In summary our season has been about one fa Cup game. I do think we will finish mid table but things need to change quickly.
