FA Cup Thread

[Stocky]

Stockport will feel agrieved not getting a draw, they look a decent side but fall over too easily for my liking.
Quigley spends more time on his arse than his feet.

The Stockport fans were brilliant and made as much noise as any that have been to NYS, but it wasn't totally sold out which surprised me.

Only just over 4000 home fans shows that the FA cup is no longer special to more than half of our usual gate, which is quite sad really.
Playing on a Friday won't have helped, thanks SYP.

Anyway we found a way to win and move onto 18 games unbeaten, good luck to Stockport in getting back into the EFL.

Spurs away would be nice.

It was as sold out as it could have been in the sense that we've not been able to buy tickets for weeks because it was deemed a sell out. I know loads that would have gone if more were available.

Sounds like we gave you a good game, couldn't make the game myself (another thanks to SYP).

Good luck for the rest of the season, league and cup.

Away fans usually get 2600 ish, great noise from you lot, certainly louder than most Championship sides that have filled it.

Yet again we concede first and you know thats game over. So uninspiring!

Wonder how many games we've lost 1-0 this season?

 

[TractorBoys]

Oh dear Cooky.

 

[Luke Imp]

Another day, another blank and another lack of clean sheet!

I'm beginning to think a number of these lot know they won't be around by the end of January.

Don't worry you play Crewe on Tuesday. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

We said that against Doncaster, who had the second worst defence in the league at the time. We then said it the following week against Accrington, who had the worst defence in the league at the time...

It's not even the finishing of chances, we aren't creating anything. It's walking football in the final third.

 

[Luke Imp]

How has the linesman not seen that offside in the lead up to Plymouth's goal?!

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Rochdale look like a League 2 Lincoln!

I agree, he should have flagged Hardie.

I take that back. They've scored

 

[Boletus Edulis]

We did not play well, and were a bit lucky. A draw would have been fair. Jeffers with one of his longer shots of the season.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Oh, the game was much more interesting to watch than the bore draw against Wednesday.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Crap today but at least we found a way.

How much did you pay the officials ?

How typical

We did also hit the post twice so could easily of scored more, but that would of been harsh on Rochdale.

What’s typical about it? By the letter of the law both of your goals should not have stood. Also Wilson should have been sent off. Weak referee.

We played well and deserved at least a draw, shame we don’t have a goalscorer.

Special mention to the Plymouth fans who made the very long journey today for such an early kick off.

The issue with Hardie being offside was the lino, he got the decision wrong. Yes Wilson should have been sent off. Your player crashed into an innocent Law, who got cautioned, because Wilson pushed him. I did not see the start to the corner we scored from so cannot offer an intelligent opinion as whether any of the ball was over any of the line or not.

So I agree we got the rub of the green on two issues, not sure where that leaves us. We like all teams have been at the end of some wrong decisions that affected the outcome of games this season.

Btw at the end you almost scored from a header that Cooper got his foot to. That was a clear foul, the attacked had both his hands all over the back of the defender and beat him to the ball as a result of coming off a piggy back.

Despite this, I actually thought for an inexperienced ref he did okay, and unlike several this year he kept up with play.

the ball was quite clearly out of the quadrant when Plymouth took the corner for the winning goal - so Rochdale were unlucky with both goals

Basically if you’re a league 1 club don’t draw us at home

 

[Boletus Edulis]

If you are still in the draw who would you want tonight? I know we are nearly in France (apparently), so as well as us who do you want to avoid?

I’d be happy with any home draw, ideally someone like Yeovil would be nice. If away then Man City (I have a City season ticket holder mate to stay with) or the West Ham or Spurs (we can stay in north London and get to both easily).

To avoid, any team north of Manchester or in league 1.

 

[chipmunx]

Morecambe home or away, then a big team in round 4.
or Plymouth at home.....

blimey if we get you I’ll pop in to see my friends in Dumfries.

 

[Bobbin']

Any of the big boys at home. Not hosted any of them at The Valley since the Prem days, be good to get one of them there and pack the place out. Failing that, an away day at anyone who isn’t in this league.

 

[SMH]

As I had to miss Charlton and Wimbledon earlier this season, I'd be happy with any London based away that isn't QPR.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

A London away day. West Ham or Spurs would be decent.

Would quite like Leeds at home. Be a decent game.

The conversation popped up on our forum and it was generally agreed you’d be the worst draw for us - miles away, probably lose, not much appetite from home fans either and big missed opportunity for a good draw.

I get all that except not much appetite from home fans! We had about 12,000 on a cold Tuesday night first round reply. Any game will have at least 11,000 and the right draw would be a full house.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Excellent

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Very underwhelmed. - Brum away. yet again we are away. Of the last ten major cup games we have been in nine have been away. Doh.

Still at least only a three hour thirty minute train journey away, that’s almost close.
