5 headers from one player in a game, probably wont ever see that again. Fantastic performance and result but the hilariousness of their keeper was worth the entrance fee alone! :D

Don't worry Brownie/Duke, I don't think you'll find any criticism on here tonight.

Crazy result and heading masterclass from Dunkley. What might have been if he'd have stayed on until the end. It WOULD have been double figures.

Clearly the pitch at the D&D is unlike any other. I actually think that result tonight justifies those that criticised certain aspects at the weekend. I thought we were lucky to escape Cockfosters with a draw on Saturday, how could it be SO different tonight? Look what we're capable of.

More of the same on Saturday please. ;) :lol:

Well that's 3 rounds we're through now, halfway to the round that must not be named otherwise I'll be told off again ;)

But seriously, whatever happens against Cambridge now, we can say we've had a good Cup campaign, I know people may say we shouldn't have had to be held to replays against Colney and Cockfosters, but in hindsight, 14 goals scored in the 2 replays and a bit of extra revenue through gate receipts isn't such a bad thing at all. Tonight showed just why Dunks is so crucial to this team even if some don't like the reliance on him, just outstanding, Cockfosters had an absolute nightmare trying to deal with him and as we've seen this season and we'll see again and again, many other teams will struggle to deal with his aerial dominance.

And if I was the Cockfosters' manager, I'd be replacing that goalie, he was dodgy in the first game, dodgy tonight, too short as the 2nd goal showed and must by far the worst kicker I've seen at any level.

I know we will all want to see the goals again during the highlights, but I so hope the cameraman caught footage of the horror kick from their keeper! :lol:

It was horrendous! But I admit I felt a bit sorry for him tonight, he's poor but I wonder whether he'll have a more nightmarish game than that again, not all his fault of course, but still not a good night for him.
