Can anyone who was in line, confirm if Ruddy carried the ball over the line or not?? Looked extremely close from where I was, but that was behind the goal!?! We were more or less in line and I don’t think it crossed. Not sure any part of it did to be honest.

Seemed that there was an element there today for that purpose and nowt else. From what I recall there was very little happening on the field that really would have got anyone worked up when it all started, seems they just came to the game to start issues and got on with it as soon as... Wouldn't surprise me if at some point in the future, I mean if this sort of thing happens again, we'll have that block closed.

The family stand was located next to the away fans at Gay Meadow for many seasons and I don't recall many, if any, problems. Now the safe standing is in place it's maybe time to review this again.

They may have too because quite clear you have lads in there looking to cause issues and being so close to the away end it's always going to be a flash point. Now we're seeing stuff flying over from one end to the other as its so close. I guess it depends on how many times its set to happen but if we see scenes likes that again the club may need to have a rethink.

That description of Traore is great: “an extraordinary footballer, who combines searing pace and supreme dribbling with a comical lack of composure. It’s like he’s been created by a child on a computer game, on whom they waste all the available resources on two or three characteristics.” Very effective at our level, when he finally puts in a decent ball, absolutely useless in the Premier League. The writer rather spoils his piece about the violence by not seeming to know the difference between “condoning” and “condemning”.

I’ll have you know my 12 year old son gave MK supporters loads of verbals from the family stand after our play off game at Gay Meadow.

Can't argue with article to be honest and the act of throwing a bottle with intent to injure is a cowardly act.
Also. Why spunk 250 sheets on a cp company jacket only to then get your own blood on it.
If these guys want to fight so much surely they could just be put into a deep pit and last man out wins I guess.

highlights on BBC1 at the time i did not think it was a penalty however whilst the ball was going away from the wolves play waterfall just went through him and was nowhere near the ball , i have seen them given and there really was no reason for waterfall to lunge in. Arnold save was outstanding low to his left with a strong hand to keep it out, but should a forward be able to have a free header between waterfall and Beckles? seen the goals Bolton slow to react 2-1 , Beckles failed to deal with the cross and 2-2 non of which can take away from a hard working team effort who came so close to a cup upset.

I dont get it either tbf. £3+ plastic bottle thrown. Expensive p**s water that won't do anything other than get you a ban. Waste of money.

What a game! The best I've seen Town play this season. Why oh why can't they do this in the league? If they did we would surely be in a more secure position. BUT that said they all played amazingly well today, as a team and of the two teams, Town were hungry for the win. I went into the game hoping for a draw.... but as soon as Docherty scored one of his belters I thought we can do this and well done to Waterfall for one of his on target headers...hoping and belief now thatwe could win this. Unfortunately Wolves had to bring in the cavalry with fresh, fast legs, our boys were starting to tire and cramp affecting them, but they battled on. Then there was the unwanted distraction and Wolves started to play hard and we got the draw instead of a win... ( but eh we didn't lose) so a trip to Molineux it is . I hope Rickets rests this best side on Tuesday, it's not ideal but better that than have them getting injured and their play pattern has been play well and hard, then hardly turn up. Let others go in Tuesday and prove what they can do for us. Difficult to pick a MOM, but I'm choosing Docherty, he was non stop today. We may have drawn but we were the better side for most of the game. COYB

Six minutes bang on. We wasted time from 1-0. Which is fine, but to start whinging about it is nonsense. Anyway, good effort all round. Watching the Dingles celebrate their equaliser like it was a Cup winner will live long in the memory. They should have clapped embarrassed like... must admit I was expecting 7minutes. Could not believe penalty not given. Also referee speaking to Sadler as captain about time wasting when Wolves players were holding the ball and not giving it back Referee will have better days

I must admit, I thought we got the tactics wrong after Wolves got their first.
Why change the mentality that got you a 2 goal lead in the first place?
Bringing Whalley on for Okenabihrie was fine, but as a like for like replacement. To not have a striker and effectively play with a false 9 was asking for trouble. We didn’t have an out ball. It was crying out for Angol’s physical presence and pace (as I believe he is the better option ahead of Holloway), to chase the ball down and run into the channels.
It was galling to concede so late, but I think we invited it?! Wimbledon showed how it should be done against West Ham. Kept pushing until the end and were rewarded with a 4th goal!!

a bit unlucky today, in fact very unlucky, so near yet so far
great goal from Doherty and another nice one from waterfall
same problem though for me guys
we have a giant of a keeper who is rooted to his line
the 2nd goal was coming, they must have put in a dozen similar crosses and not one did he attempt coming for
had a warning when the 5foot nothing forward attacked one from 5 yards out only to head it straight at him
saying that, we had 2 men tracking traore down the line HIT HIM FFS!

I fundamentally disagree. Ahmadi-Holloway was the right sub to put on, he holds the ball up better and is better aerially than Angol, hindsight is a good thing but I can’t fault Ricketts. He set the team up perfectly and we were very unlucky not to win.

I’m not having a go at SR, I just thought it was a bit naive to try to hold out when they were clearly on top?!

hindsight is a wonderful thing but haynes had two quality players wolves having a go at him no 2 & 37 they seem to target that side i thought he did very well but it was clear he had his hands full and needed more support

Will be difficult to close the block, due to season ticket holders, but they could easily stop selling tickets in the block for anyone else. The stewarding in there yesterday was appalling. There were clearly loads more than should have been there, stood blocking the aisles, etc. Should have been dealt with early on, aisles cleared, people moved to where they should have been sitting, etc.

Also, the ref spoke to Sadler before the Wolves players held the ball. Anyway, we invited pressure by sitting back, so no surprise they equalised.

To be fair West Ham were awful, I mean look at the defending for Wimbledon's forth goal. But I see where you are coming from, Wimbledon were still looking to take the game to West Ham, they had attacking intent from start to finish. We were pushed back big time towards the end and just were able to get a foothold. Whereas Wimbledon brought on that lad who scored their fourth, we brought on Vincelot who...well, who didn't do an awful lot from what I could see... But West Ham and Wolves were chalk and cheese yesterday, Wimbledon picked a right good day to come up against West Ham. Good to see Whalley back, mind. He looked to enjoy himself when he came on. Hopefully he gives us more options going forward. Hopefully Edwards will be fit too soon.

An extraordinary cup tie with an incredibly harsh ending. Salop were terrific in that, to a man pressed and played positively with the ball, were at times brave with what they were trying to do and dealt so well with their pace, which I thought would see us off comfortably. Fair play to Wolves for respecting the cup and their opponents too - that’s a side who will believe they can win the competition and we do nearly knocked them out. I’d normally find criticism for giving a 2 goal lead away to anyone, and for sitting back as we appeared to do in the closing stages, but I’m not going to bother when Mexico’s leading striker put them back in the game & an Irish international equalised. As for Haynes, I think he’s been brilliant for weeks - he won’t be the first, nor the last, to be pulled apart by Helder Costa & Adama Traore, there are better days to assess a League One wing backs defensive ability.
Now, onto Bradford, another test of this team’s mentality because the cup games are a stark contrast from the s**te the same lads are producing in the league at present.

Also seen the goals. With the first goal, although Bolton was slightly slow to react, Sadler should have cleared, but for some inexplicable reason allowed the ball to run through. The second goal reminds me so much of Wood's 1st goal for Rotherham in the play off final. Once again, Beckles put in an inadequate challenge.

Match of the day showed the tackle and praised Waterfall for it saying 'your not scoring in my house today' or something to that effect. They never even mentioned it might have been a penalty. They also praised his leadership throughout the game. After he scored Docherty was trying to get him to celebrate , but he was reluctant to do so. I wonder if this is due to fans constant criticism of him? He's saved us a fair few times this season with his headers both in defence and goals, so time to support him out on the pitch instead of singing the we love Sads song every time Waterfall wins the ball. No mention about Sads not clearing the ball which led to the Wolves scoring, but if that had been Waterfall omg calls to sack him would have been called. Give the guy a break.

Darby game attracts fans that behave in an aggressive confrontational manner. Who would have know. Take a look at the videos going around of before the Everton - Millwall game and then you might have a different outlook. ****ing yam yam c***s acting like they won the league after drawing to little old shrewsbury. I hope their train brakes down. w****rs. Unacceptable language on this board. Moderators please remove. Don’t cry mate
