Sounds a good performance from a total new set of 11. Not bothered by the score...2-0 no disgrace.. Lots of good things to take home so far. I do like our new younger look too! Fresh blood giving it real go. Freddie to grab a late cracker from nothing to send townie fans all way back to Suffolk feeling happy. #COYBs!
A very credible performance that. Really good signs for the future with the young guns all playing well. Impressed with Tommy Oar and the two CB's.
Night to remember for them all...players and management. Proud Blues...well done! Bring on the Bristols!
Manures midfield wont have an easier game!! Hate losing, hate it even more when you set out to lose!! Bart has to start Sat as does Bru, Tabb and Coke should never be near first team again!!
Good couple of spells in the game, shame we couldn't of tested de Gea at least once but understandable to some extent with the amount of quality they had. I'm liking Spanish's preferred line up for Saturday, hopefully we will see a bit more of Oar and Yorwerth in the coming games.
Why is that Warky, so we can get enough points to avoid relegation, you dont seriously think we will be going for promotion, do you?
The only way i can see us pushing for promotion is if MM stops playing his favs regardless and plays people in their natural positions!! Bart is better than Gerks Emmanuel is better than Chambers Yorwerth is better than Smith Parr is better than Knudsen Anyone us better than Douglas, except Tabby!!
" Bart has to start Sat as does Bru, Tabb and Coke should never be near first team again!! " Spanish I went to the game and completely disagree on Coke - he was very solid in CM and was sold short by Bru running around like a god damn headless chicken. Bru can be good with the ball but his positional sense leaves a hell of a lot to be desired. First half all of us around were saying " everyones for the most part done well first half barr Parr " who was bloody awful first 45 but second half he had a good performance. Tabb did well - not his fault he's on the left wing. Won numerous interceptions and had no one around. Oar will certainly add something vs Championship sides. His delivery was excellent, long term I can see him / Fraser being the wide boys with Niles the impact sub. We'll see. I was a tad disappointed Toure didn't start. Murphy doesn't look fit......... AGREE with you Spanish re keeper playing. Yowerth was class, WAAAYYYYY better than Smith and he needs to be played. Polish lad also did well but I say Yowerth deserves to be in the side. If he's not going to be he needs a month out on loan. I also thought Emmanuel did well, and perhaps deserves to start at RB. Chambers has been VERY poor at RB this season from what I've seen - play him at CB or not at all time. Quite obvious what the side will be for sat bar the keepers, we all know what the defence/midfield/striker lineup is likely to be - Chambers/Smith/Berra/Knudsen Niles/ Skuse/ Douglas/ Fraser Sears/ Pitman Considering the lineup we did very well. Infact, first 12 or so second half our pressing/ energy was good and we were indeed the better side until they banged in the free kick. Very proud of that performance - fair play to MIck trusting many of the players that got us to this stage of the cup they deserved their chance. Ps - Mike Holmes I saw you around 5/6 rows infront of me!
