That was a proper Fleet display. Olagunju was superb, makes more of a mockery of Watling's decision to send him out on loan earlier this season with every game.

Feels like fitness and squad depth is something being missed by the anti-replay argument. Tamworth's players were clearly out on their feet after 90 minutes and I don't see how forcing them to play an extra 30 minutes as Spurs send on world class players adds to the 'drama'.
Strange to see so many people saying they wish there was a replay here (rather than extra time and possible penalties). A replay would be great for Tamworth's bank balance, obviously, but for potential drama/magic, this is their best hope of what would be an incredible upset.

Very funny to hear the Australian commentators switch from losing their mind in anger at just the concept of attacking batting when England try to do it, to saying 'well that's the modern game' now they have their own batter abandoning any form of defence #AUSvIND.

Has to be the worst manager in our history. Awful performances and results aside, his post-match interviews grew more and more tone deaf by the game.
Following discussions today between the club and Harry Watling , it has been mutually agreed to part ways. The club wishes to place on record our thanks to Harry for his efforts since joining in September. Josh Wright will take the role of first team manager going forward ,

Grim. Highlight of the night might have been counting the 12 other people we had in the away end tonight, then double counting just to make sure I hadn't missed anyone.

Mad it's the away club that have kept fans updated on this. Would have been good for @AFCFylde to have some consideration for away fans.
Following a pitch inspection carried out by the referee, the pitch has been deemed unplayable and the match has been called off. Once again we’d like to show appreciation to our amazing travelling supporters who have made the trip this weekend.

Great appointment. He could have done wonders with the Fleet's squad.

Can't remember the last time I've been this furious at a draw. Had that game comfortably in our hands but some nonsensical managerial decisions threw it away.

Four non-league sides would have taken EFL clubs to a replay in previous years of the FA Cup but got knocked out today in extra-time. Better fitness and squad depth was always going to benefit higher-league clubs in extra-time - shame on the FA for their cowardice over replays.

Interesting appointment - could be a coup considering he was in the running for the Plymouth job a few months back. Kerslake has massive experience so will hopefully be a guiding hand. #EUFC.
Ebbsfleet United are pleased to announce the appointment of Harry Watling as the club’s manager ahead of our home match against Hartlepool United on Saturday. Alongside Watling in the Fleet dugout will be assistant manager David Kerslake and first-team coach John Cotton.

As for who's next - would be massively ambitious as he'd still be able to get a League Two job but I could see a manager like Graham Coughlan doing well with this squad.

Inevitable call. A nice guy but the situation felt untenable after Saturday - you can't have a manager coming out and talking about the positives after a 4-0 loss where we didn't have a shot for 65 minutes.
CLUB STATEMENT.Ebbsfleet United have today made the decision to part company with manager Danny Searle and assistant manager Anwar Uddin. Read the full statement on the club website here.
