Weymouth manager reacts to FA Cup draw with Winchester

The Terras were facing an embarrassing exit in the FA Cup on Saturday until late goals from Euan Pollock and Ezio Touray forced a replay at the Bob Lucas tonight.

in the aftermath of the game against the lower league side, Molesley said the Hampshire-based club made the game 'chaotic' and said his Terras side were 'dry, safe and boring' at times during the first half.

Speaking to the club's Youtube channel after the game, he said: "It was a blood and thunder cup tie.

"I think from our point of view it was the good the bad and the ugly.

"When were were good, we were really good, and when we were bad, we were really bad.

"The game fluctuated and i think that played into Winchester's hands, because they are good at what they do, which is make it chaotic."

He added: "They embrace that chaos and we had moments of good control and then, unfortunately, we did not show the quality on the ball we needed to.

"It was huff and puff, we did not penetrate enough in our actions and grinded ourselves to a halt after a positive start - we went a bit dry, safe, boring.

"The last 15 minutes of the first half we were lacklustre and got punished."

Despite conceding early again in the second half, Molesley was pleased with how the team regained control of the game and was 'delighted' with Touray's late equaliser.

He added: "Credit to the lads, they really rallied at the end, and then it was just us none stop attacking, knocking on the door.

"It was made for Ezio to come on, Euan and Bear (Tom Bearwish) nearly scored two or three times but for last ditch tackles and Euan hit the post, we could have been two or three nil up.

"We weren't, and then you are looking around and you know Ezio has got moments in him, delighted he got on and got his goal and delighted Euan got his goal.

The draw means that Winchester now visit the Bob Lucas tonight (Tuesday, October 1) in a winner takes all clast 7.45pm.

Molesley knows the team must take the momentum from those two late goals into the tie if they have any chance of getting through into the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup.

He added: "We ae disappointed not to get the win at the end, it was a thrilling ending, but have to make sure we do not waste this chance now.

"We have another go at it and we live to fight another day.

"We have to make sure we take the last twenty minutes into the start on Tuesday."
