ROMULUS boss Richard Evans pulled no punches in the assessment of his sides performance in the FA Cup last weekend, labelling it pathetic, writes Andy Mitchell.
The Roms were on the end of their first real FA Cup shock since entering Saturday football, slumping to a 2-1 defeat against Midland Alliance side Bridgnorth Town last weekend, despite taking an early lead at the Scholars Ground.
Peter Faulds had given the home side a fifth minute advantage but a pair of Jason McPike penalties, the second seven minutes from time, saw Evans men off, much to his disgust.
Its not often I have a go at the lads in the paper, but we were awful, lacklustre - it was a disgusting performance. We gave away two pathetic penalties through making bad decisions.
With the Roms also struggling in the league, sitting just one point ahead of the relegation places in the Evostik NPL One South, Evans refused to rule out the possibility of changes to the squad.
After that performance, and being one point off the bottom two, well possibly be making changes- the current squad need to be looking over their shoulders, all of them.
Its up to them now, were certainly looking for a response.
Evans hopes that response will come at Goole this weekend, with a long trip to Humberside to face a side who are three points ahead of the Roms having played a game more.
