Wow. Weren't Clohessy and Smith superb?

They don't deserve wembley with that pathetic home support tonight. Just over 3000 home fans. No

Add Cresswell to that! Thought Reeves showed he has bags of talent. Thought Timlin improved in the second half and hope his injury isn't too bad, but he does miss the next two with a silly yellow.

Timlin hospital might be broken leg.

Did no one else think the challenge on Timlin looked pretty bad? looked nasty on t.v though I only caught one replay.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

and now Timlin ...........Luggy must wonder what on earth we've done to the Gods to deserve this continuing bad luck. :'(

smith outstanding, I have never rated leonard in any way shape or form, but tonight his positioning, work rate, general play was brilliant I am loving my humble pie yum yum

if im honest thought timlin went in the harder of the two

I thought it looked quite bad on first viewing, reminded me of the Shawcross one on Ramsey where he just goes to smash the ball away but misses and catches the player.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Didn't look like anyone's fault .......both players 100% committed to the tackle on a 50/50 ball.........sadly Timlin came out worse.

 

[chapperzUK]

Timlin and Tomlin both out injured and both could be lengthy ones .... hope Sturrock has something up his sleeve!

To be fair they both went in hard but fair- no hint of studs up or two feet. Let pray it turns out to be bad bruising or similar. But at very best he's going to miss a few games.

Now we have Reeves, Spillane and Laird its probably not a disaster league wize but for this cup the midfield is getting somewhat light

 

[Barling Magna]

Yes, I don't think you can blame the Orient player. Really bad luck on Timlin though; let's hope it's not a fracture.

Crewe look to be Wembley bound. If we get through to meet them in the Final it will be a chance to repay them for the play-off defeat - but, crikey, Crewe look good......

 

[BluesyShrimper]

Fair do's, only saw it the once properly so I'm probably over reacting to it. Be good to see it again.
Good performance overall. We always seem to play better second half, and it's great for Leonard to grab another goal (sort of).
