Billericay 1 Swansea 2

Scrappy, disjointed performance overall, if we played like that against a League One side we'd get pasted, but i think the cliche of the FA Cup being a great leveler is true. The pitch was sloping and bobley, it was windy and i think the surroundings was a bit of a culture shock to a few of our lads, although i might be letting them off too easy there as those things shouldn't matter given the gap between ourselves and them. Credit to them though, they probably played the game of their lives and even though our class shone through at times they fought for everything and certainly didn't disgrace themselves. We never really dominated or had a period of playing really well. Our midfield never really stamped their authority on the game like they should have been doing, O'Leary was crap without putting too finer a point it and Anderson, Orlandi and Britton were lively but didn't completley run rings around their defense which they should be doing given their talents. Our distribution and final ball was dreadful. Defense had a quiet day but still allowed Ricay a few chances, their goal was a hash on our part really. So safely though, but could/should do better although perhaps that's not giving Billericay enough credit, which they deserve. Our fans not really on song today, it's hard to i suppose in such an open ground although their fans were singing throughout, even gave us a bit of stick at times! I thought we would have taken a fair bit more than we did too.Went on the train today, big OB presence at Paddington station due to Cardiff traveling down that way today too, i saw a few but i think my shirt was mostly covered so i didn't get any stick! A few of them got thrown off on the way back at Reading too for not having a ticket!
