Humphrys is quickly becoming the Smallwood scapegoat replacement when things aren't going well. Fans have heard something and when we aren't playing well, it must be the reason. FWIW, if HA was insisting he plays straight down the middle, then I agree it would be wrong, but he's given free reign to

Thought we deserved that on the whole. Not perfect by any means but any chances that they got, we gave them. Don't understand the mentality of our fans. Over achieve and then give everyone stick for not being that good all the time. Keep plugging away. #bcafc

I may be in the minority here, but I didn't think we were that bad there. A couple of dicey moments at the back, but created a couple of decent chances.
Stats don't tell you everything, but more shots, more on target more touches in their box feels OK to me. Three points are there for us. #bcafc

Didn't expect Kelly to start. Think pushing Wright forward and Touray to LWB makes sense and Metcalfe can play a more familiar CM.
Cook illness takes that option away and if Plymouth aren't going to play out, Humphrys is probably a better option - thought he actually did OK last weekend. #bcafc

Who plays at the back will be interesting tomorrow. Play Byrne (probably) and shift Baldwin to the middle, play McIntyre in the middle and leave Baldwin on the right (not sure) Wright is fit so plays (don't know that this is wise regardless).

#bcafc not going to overreact. Tonight was not a night that our season died. Still, I'd prefer to see players that are looking for minutes in the league to step up when they get a chance. Not sure anyone did that tonight. Let's see what Saturday brings.

Not sure what to make of tonight. Winning is always a good thing, but would prefer not to have extra games. I would start Cook and see what he does, he needs minutes more than anything else. Bobby might as well play so that someone else can rest for Saturday. Do you try 3-5-2 from the start to see

#bcafc a lot of talk about Cook at the moment. My feeling is that, GA built his squad in the summer not knowing when Cook would be back (and how effective he would be when he did) my worry is that we try to change specifically for Cook. We've had success playing a different way and Cook can't do

Three points are three points. You don't get more for the Town game than for this, so it's job done, but it was hardly scintillating. We had a spell where we looked really good in the second half when Exeter, inexplicably, started trying to play out from the back. We were pretty solid up to going

Excited for tomorrow. Don't think Exeter are going out to play, but I think we'll have more of a plan for it, especially if Sarce is fit for 90 minutes. Like the extra passing range of Baldwin which hopefully stops Power from dropping too deep to get the ball. Up front is going to be interesting.

Happy with a point, both teams had chances - Bolton's mainly in the first half, ours in the second.
Can't complain about effort or work rate, just need something to drop for us in front of goal to get us going. Yes a bit of quality missing in the box, but big picture, we are well placed. #bcafc

Quite like the options that this line up gives us. Could switch between 3-4-3 and 3-5-2.
Worry that Patto loses a little bit of something playing right sided, but like that he doesn't have to worry about defending as much and that could allow him to really drive forwards.

Big game tomorrow. Bolton should play a bit of football which means we can go back to what we are good at. I don't think Bolton will change for us. They are playing well and on a run, so why would they? That plays into our hands a bit, but we've got to execute and take our chances. Definitely got a

Just listened to the GA interview for his 2nd anniversary as manager. I can't put into words how happy I am that he is the manager of my club. There is so much to like. Results are one thing - that's what's allowed him to stay long enough to be able to talk about is like this, but it's not that.

#bcafc It's a little concerning, the way we've given this away, but equally, if you read the # on the other place, you'd think we'd just sealed relegation.

My biggest bug bear in football - the goalie going down "injured" so that a team can have a tactical discussion with the manager. Like a timeout in NFL.

Listening to Take Me Home. Can't always say I agree with Paul, but Mark Bower is excellent (and love Jamie Rayner - we are very lucky to have him as a local radio presenter). Perspective is the perfect word. It's fine to question and it's fine to criticise, but perspective is very important. #bcafc

I thought Humphrys looked better once we had Cooks and him together with Bobby behind. Everyone else seemingly using yesterday to show he should be played wide. He certainly never played on the left which people are asking for. Get someone closer to him is what I think he needs. #bcafc

Poor first half. A bit better second, but got what we deserved. Their #8 picked up every second ball and killed us. Not sure what the thinking is with Power and Leigh (or whoever is CM) coming to get the ball from the goal kick - just seems to leave the other guy with three players when it comes

Feels like we need a big performance tomorrow. Burton will be stubborn and defend, but we can still go at them, just in a slightly different way than we did earlier in the season.
May be lots of surprises in the line up. Can't call who will play in any position. So I'll wait and see. #bcafc

Gutted for all those bantams who have bought tickets/hotels/transport and booked time off to go to Plymouth only for the game to be re-arranged. Not the club's fault, but supporters have come last again. Football league should be ashamed. #bcafc

Seen a lot of comments saying we were conned, also seen a lot of comments saying we should have won anyway and the goal shouldn't have prevented it. Both of these things are correct. What matters now is how this is addressed this week. Burton will play like this, so need to use it positively. #bcafc

That's a disappointment. Not that fussed about going out of the cup, but the worry is about finishing. GA sent off after the whistle wonder if that's more a message to his players that he gives a shit about every game and they should not get "well it was only a cup game" in their heads. #bcafc

I like that line up for the FA Cup. We've learned that players can move in and out of this side and be successful. Giving players minutes who need it, should keep players hungry - they'll want to play league games and GA has shown, if they do well, they'll be rewarded. Should be up for it. #bcafc

I'll keep it short tonight. 1st half was the poorest half of football we've played all season. Everything a yard off. A bit better second half but don't know why Lincoln seemed happy with a draw when we were so far off. Kelly man of the match by a mile. Need players back fit to push on. #bcafc
