Elder Woods Coyle Great to see Tetteh back - he's gonna cause problems for many a championship defence if he stays fit
McLoughlin, how did it take so long for him to get a run at cb? So classy on the ball. Tufan.....not sure why he was subbed off tbh Tetteh, caused problems virtually every time he got the ball, hell of a cameo and we'll be a lot better with him than without til the end of the season.
Missed the first 20 minutes stood in the queue outside but from what I saw from a pretty tepid display... 1.McLoughlin, steady eddy. 2. Elder tried. 3. Woods didn't do much wrong. I thought Tufan did very little to be honest. Saw him throw himself to the ground holding his face twice and again when he rolled around a couple of times on the touchline holding his ankle when his boot came off. Otherwise I expected more from him in a game like today. Not surprised he was subbed. Good crowd. No atmosphere though, except for the last two minutes just before Fulham scored that comical second goal. To me, I'm sadden that such a great occasion like FA Cup 3rd Saturday has been reduced to what we witnessed this afternoon. Two virtual reserve teams going through the motions and even the crowd didn't seem too bothered who won.
Woods Woods woods Macca Coyle first half Simons and Vale very competent and comfortable wit the ball .Have to say it but as much as Coyle offers quite a bit the high ball that he couldn’t control showed his poor body shape - nitpicking I know but it’s hi weakness at times his pace and effort is always first rate however .
Have agree about the crowd , team selections and the FA Cup as a whole especially the early rounds. The rot set in over 20 years ago though, however 14 K for an FA cup 3 rd home game against an unfashionable team ain't to bad when you look back over the years . My selection of players are . 1. Woods - cool on the ball , available, nice passing. 2. Mcloughlin- another good display at the back and the odd great forward pass . 3. Docherty - an energetic performance. 3 points next week is more important than today . Come on City
Mcloughlin did not put a foot wrong Woods Tetteh though he was outstanding when he came on, made things happen when he got the ball. He has good ball skills for such a big man. He definitely wont be going on loan cos he is too short.
McLoughlin Woods Elder Thought Tufan and Coyle was up there with the top three. Seeing Tetteh back on the pitch today was a real lift. We looked a far better attacking team before his injury. Him and Oscar linking up again is a mouthwatering prospect.
McLoughlin Woods Elder I'll go with this. As a tufan (see what i did there). I think his last two appearances have been his worst. Not sure at all why so many think he's. done so well. However he is an attacking midfielder so why play him up top. If we are to keep him we need to give the bloke a chance.
But why orange. Are we going to get someone better. Personally i don't think so. I think for us he can offer from the bench. Its not just about the starting eleven
I don't disagree. Just what I think will happen - but the bigger the outgoing, the bigger the potential incoming.
