Have to agree with Kiwomya. Bloody stubbornness from GA. Put some fresh legs on.

 

Entertaining enough game with two limited sides. Very welcome result but will have to play better to get anything at the weekend.

 

Don't remember too much bleating from Doncaster when Ravenhill snapped Osadebe's leg.

 

And there was a legitimate reason why so many stayed away as well.
The Millwall fans were vile that day - and allowed to be so by poor policing and stewarding

 

Need to win just to keep some part of the season alive. Even if it is this dire competition.

Lose tomorrow and we might as well all log off until August.

 

McDonald too.

Imagine, a central midfielder passing the ball to his team mates instead of random hoofs up the pitch!

 

Richards has had a good game. Good running with the ball and interplay with others. Makes such a difference to be able to have a threat on both sides.

 

Glad to have Young in this team. Hes been a breath of fresh air

 

GA should get the sack simply for his ridiculous use of substitutes and, his reluctance to play BP a local lad that loves the club.

 

Done a lot of unselfish running off the ball, something we've had little of this season.

 

Absolute bull that statement is.

 

A “This is how to take a set piece” instructional video.

Leave it in the changing room where Smallwood sits.

 

We certainly seem to play more 'football' with McDonald in the team.
Derby and tonight saw fewer long balls.

 

Set pieces were much better too tonight

 

good performance

I struggle to understand GA’s perspective on things. We play better in the cup because we play on the front foot. But the moment we go back to the league, we play defensive football an lose, badly

I can understand that with Mcdonald, you have to ease him in due to injuries an lack of fitness but he has to be starting regularly. Hes good enough. If we had him last year whilst he was a year younger instead of Smallwood, we’d of gone up. A playmaker and a grafter. Thats what you need in the middle of the park and thats what we have in Mcdonald an Gillead. The perfect blend to a successful midfield partnership.

CB wise, I felt the trio of Tomkinson, Platt & Kelly did well. Its gonna be baffling to see Taylor back in the side on saturday but we all know it’s inevitable

Richards showed why im so critical of Ridehalgh. Thats what you need on the left hand side. Pace, energy, positivity. The team now has balance as we can attack on both flanks

Im not sure what the feck Cook was doing for either challenge. Anyone able to tell me which game hes gonna miss because of it?

Young was quality. Hope all those people here that said “he doesnt wanna play here” “hes got an attitude problem” “he has a problem with city” can feck off. The lad showed grit an determination. You could see how motivated he is to do well here an im glad to see him putting a solid shift in. I just hope that GA isnt stubborn an is willing to alter our tactics to get the best out of him

 

The vibe around the club was very different at that time as well.
The feel good factor that existed then is as far as away now as it’s ever been.

 

Indeed, the same Ravenhill who is out for 12 months with an ACL injury I believe. I think that is called karma.

 

Couldn’t have asked for a better chance to progress to the next round

 

Given Alexander has only overseen part of the run I hope he allows Sparks to lead the lads out at Wembley.
