Peterborou­gh 2 Doncaster 1

-

GRANT MCCANN hit out at the officials after Doncaster bowed out of the cup.

Harrison Burrows and Ephron Mason-clark put Peterborou­gh 2-0 ahead before Mo Faal, earlier denied by the offside flag, reduced the deficit.

Mccann said: “We just needed a bit of the rub of green away from home and we didn’t seem to get it.”

Posh boss Darren Ferguson said: “We didn’t play as well as we have been and we were off it a bit.”

Maidstone 2 Barrow 1

MAIDSTONE boss George Elokobi saluted Bivesh Gurung’s winner.

Ben Whitfield had Barrow ahead before the National League South side replied through Sam Corne and Gurung.

Elokobi said: “It was an absolute blockbuste­r, just an excellent hit. As soon as it left his boot I knew the ball was going in.”

Barrow boss Pete Wild said: “I’m thinking ... how did we lose that?”

Bolton 5 Harrogate 1

IAN EVATT is amazed by the goalscorin­g potential of his Bolton side.

Replacemen­t strikers Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Dan Nlundulu (right) hit a hat-trick and a brace to render George Thomson’s goal redundant.

“The two centre-forwards were excellent, they were the biggest plus of the day by miles,” said Evatt.

Harrogate boss Simon Weaver said: “Conceding five by 55 minutes is a source of embarrassm­ent.”

Newport 1 Barnet 1

DEAN BRENNAN insisted a replay was the least Barnet deserved.

Danny Collinge’s late header earned the National League side a draw after Shane Mcloughlin had put Newport in front.

“To come here and only give them one corner, that shows our dominance in possession,” said Brennan.

Graham Coughlan said: “We had chances to put the game to bed.”

Wycombe 0 Morecambe 2

GED BRENNAN felt his Morecambe side outclassed Wycombe to reach the third round for the second year in a row.

Goals in each half from Eli King and Tom Bloxham helped produce an upset and Brennan said: “I’m absolutely delighted as I thought the lads were outstandin­g.”

Wycombe struggled to create chances and manager Matt Bloomfield admitted: “The intensity is the main thing that was missing. We looked lethargic.”
