Fa Cup: Tamworth V Bristol City


Eco

Recommended Posts

Made hard work of it in the end. All that for a completely pants draw as per usual.

I was impressed with Baldock today. Missed a few again but he lead by example today and worked hard. That is what I expect to see from him more weeks than most. Especially from a captain.

That has been my main complaint with Baldock. I can handle him missing chances, all good strikers do but his all round game up until late hasn't been good enough. Today he looked sharp though and long may that continue.

He's been running those channels all season, he's also managed 8 league goals and a number of assists.. The only difference today is the quality of the opposition.

Yep and as usual Chiles has not done his homework. Stupid question!

It wasn't Chiles, but to be honest none of them had.

They all kept saying that JET is normally a striker and it's a bold move playing him in the whole. Obviously haven't seen him play all season in the hole.

Important not to get carried away as Tamworth were poor but Baldock's movement and work rate hasn't been all that effective this season. Today he looked good but for me hasn't done it consistently enough this season.

Good performance, should have won more comfortably though ! Sam had a couple of great chances before he scored and Greg should have done better, thought everyone did well but JET was superb & deserved MoM, apart from goal the left foot pass across pitch 2nd half was quality.

A good performance. Nobody should say again that JET is a lazy player. He was everywhere today shooting, setting up sammie's goal and very often helping out a defence that often seemed worried by up and unders from the boot, from throw-ins and from corners that Tamworth lofted over. This is not to mention some very effective and legal time wasting at the end when he used his sheer bulk to such good effect. Baldock, although his finish for the 2nd goal was perfect, is still wasting far too many chances. We should have been 4 up by the time we got the second. For me though Joe Bryan was very much a contender for man of the match. For a youngster he is tough, strong and against the agricultural team that we played today, very brave.

Glad I wasn't involved in this match thread, some dreadful moaners on here today.

 

City did what they had to do all game, were up for the battle from the start, created lots of chances and deserved to win by several more goals.

 

Flint and Jet were outstanding, Baldock, Marvin and Joe Bryan played really well, and only perhaps Taylor and Wagstaff were underpar.

 

A  good solid performance by City against a very physical team on a sloping, rutted pitch ideal for providing a cup upset.

 

Well done Cotterill too, he represented City with humility, enthusiasm and good humour today.

 

Good 3rd round draw as well - Watford are beatable at AG, and that's exactly the sort of draw we're looking for at this stage.

And they were intent on roughing us up.

 

It didn't work and the team was composed and put in a very professional performance.

 

Very pleased with today and how the team performed.

 

Job done.

 

I think it helped that the ref clamped down on it reasonably early and booked a couple of them, meaning they had to lay off a bit. Though there were still a fair few 'robust' challenges going in.

 

Really professional performance, the only criticisim is that we could and should have won by more. It was getting a little nervy in the few minutes before our 2nd goal, but we should have been 3 or 4 up by that point.

Agree with all that bar the cup draw. Will we ever get a third round draw against either:

 

a) A top side

 

or

 

b) A crap side at home
