“Yeah, I feel let down by the players,” he said. “We've had lots of ups over the years at this place, but that was pretty low out there today and very, very disappointing.
“I don't want to sugar-coat it. I don't want to make excuses because there are no excuses. We didn't do enough.
“We felt good coming into the game. We'd got an important win in the league the week before, we had a bit of confidence and it was a bubbly week in training.
“We felt confident that the boys were up for an FA Cup tie. It looked like Cheltenham were up for the FA Cup today and, sadly, we weren't.
“If you're not 100 per cent focused, it comes back to bite you. Some guys have obviously gone out there and – I hope it's only sub-consciously – not given Cheltenham the respect they deserved. That's why we got beat.”
