Well I would guess there is the "all first class compettions" record and the "league" record which is still extendable and Im sure the players will be determined to keep it going on Sat. |

According to BBC Radio Berkshire (as on BBC Radio Devon I got only the Jackson 5), when Reading scored their fans rushed forward and managed to knock down part of the breeze block wall in front of the away end! Someone should tell them that we don't have the budget to rebuild that stand too! Yes - giving rise to the chant "One nil and we broke your wall" which was rubbing it in a bit. I'm sure I heard the stewards say that nobody was injured. |

A pity we didn't win as we would have had Northampton at home in the next round. ;D McDermott, the Reading manager seems to be convinced that we will be a side close to promotion.

Tremendous performance tonight.....and a thoroughly enjoyable and exciting cup tie. Not the end of the world to get k.o'd from this comp of course, although it was a cruel way to go out. 1st time i've seen us this season (roll on the end of the cricket season :  - i was very impressed. Such a joy to see us playing with such confidence, purpose and tempo. Reading's defence and keeper were top class tonight and they needed to be! They all played well, although stand outs for me were Zebroski, who absolutely murdered their left back, Ellis and Branston as usual and Bevan, who looks fit and imposing. O'Kane's excellent cameo in extra time shows we have players on the bench capable of turning a game for us and Kee looks full of promise, he will dominate many a L2 defence this season. Feel confident about the Lincoln game  |

Certainly missed a big man up front last night. Not having that extra striker on the bench to bring on with 20 minutes or so go was also missed (both points obviously linked!).
Thought Branston was superb in defense and a close run thing with Zebs for MOM.
If only that Benners shot had gone in......

I was just about to suggest that we lost that game in '88 and went-on to miss-out on promotion Loyalgull, but after all the excitement last night I forgot about last year!
What a cracking match, superb effort from both teams. I was impressed by the fitness levels - it was such a frenetic game but no-one at any stage looked knackered as you might suspect.
I think that the players will have learned a huge and certainly will be proud of the way they played.

 I think Paul Buckle's comments on the O.S. perfectly sum up his pride in a very young and somewhat inexperienced forward line who tried manfully to take the game to a Championship opponent last night. Something to put in the locker and draw good experience from, and his comments on Adam Stansfield and how he tried to sign him verify what I posted yesterday about how he very nearly became a Torquay United player whilst of course; most of us also know how he "pre-seasoned" with us during Wes Saunders' time as manager.....................not everyone (in fact no-one) is as ignorant of of the happenings at OUR football club as the person who caused all the trouble and embarrassment yesterday.

very true words merse,many people hold the mis-conception that players of opposing clubs,particularly local ones are embroiled in intense hatred and rivalry.Nothing could be further from the truth,for ninety minutes twice a season,they do battle,after that they are mostly freinds,earning a living to put food on the table for families.Quite often i have seen gulls players and grecian players out and about together as an example,so the passing of adam stansfield is hurting a lot of folk within our club,but nothing compared to how his young family are feeling.Paul Buckle remains freindly with many at exeter,the football world is mainly one big family as you know more than most merse.
We can take a lot from lasts performance,especially as we are mainly a squad of pups,who can only but improve with time,PB will move on at some stage,as he is in the ascendency as a manager.Exciting times ahead of that i am convinced
