Looked knackered after about the first 20 minutes, the shot he had in the second half what their keeper saved was a tired effort. Should have been in the net before the keeper had time to dive.
Are we gonna go through the entire team ? Yep he is past it, his goal scoring record (1 every 50 games) is a joke! Nice bloke, no longer a Champioship player. Hope we never see him on the bench again!
Tbh anyone looking at his scoring record should first remember he is a winger and not a striker, despite what AP says. He was fairly poor today, did well in the air and tracked back, however he should of scored and barely ran at his man. Definately not cut the mustard so far this season.
Yeh, only these two? I guess I had hoped for more from King, there's still time, he got no space or service today. The midfield was completely outplayed by Crawley. They challenged every ball, won most second balls and broke up our play so effectively a gang of fellas behind us started counting our passes they only got past 3 about 5 times in the entire game. They even cheered when they got to 3! I don't go for this 'I'm glad we're out' bolloxs, some supporters are beginning to sound like Man U fans. The FA Cup was our only chance of glory in the past, and may be again so don't go playing it down because we really arn't a BIG club. A last 16 place, a draw against another L1/Champ team and we are in the quarters with a big pay day (yes we do need the money) A wasted opportunity Mr Barmby, you won't get many as good.
i dont think garcia has been the same player we had the year we whent up but hes getting on now about time we let fringe players like him go, same aplies with kilbane, harper, kamil g and mcshane
We have more chance of winning the playoffs than we had of getting any glory in the FA Cup (Stoke at home in the 5th Round as it turns out). Why is it being like a Man U fan to say that we've only got about 12 players that are good enough to start if we're going to get promoted so we don't want them to play any extra games where they could get injured?
I have always been a fan of Garcia's but he had probably his poorest game in a City shirt yesterday and judging by his expressions he knew it. On that performance he won't make the bench in a league game any time soon. That said there were plenty of other disappointing performances in a much changed side - surprisingly Corry Evans and Joe Dudgeon amongst them. Only Cooper enhanced his reputation.
Don't get me wrong, it pisses me off when clubs like Man U play whole teams of kids in the Cups because they're not important to them, but that's because they're generally able to afford to have nearly full 25 man squads plus several first teamers on the U21 list so they should have enough first team squad players to get through it all. I don't see how our fans saying we should sacrifice the Cups because the League is more important is the same though. We're on other threads complaining we don't have enough players, but we're supposed to want to increase our fixture list with FA Cup replays and further games when we've got bugger all chance of winning it, when that could easily harm our playoff chances, which we do have a chance of winning.
