[Archived] Rovers vs MAN CITY FA Cup **NO TICKETS AVAILABLE ON DAY**

[Tom]

Not only have we a young squad but it's very British as well only Gestede in the starting lineup from outside the uk

Henley is welsh technically isn't he?

[LondonRovers]

From what I can gather from bbc radio we're playing pretty well although city have had the best of it for the last 10 minutes or so. Glad we're not embaressing ourselves.

If we can make it to half time at 0-0 we will have done well and then anything can happen.

Great couple of minutes for us just there with Gedeste and Cairney coming close by the sounds of things.

[bigbrandjohn]

Smart move to let Gestede lead the line. Shows us our other options. He holds the ball well and distributes it economically.

[martmitch]

good couple mins after a worrying 10 mins of utter dominatio

We'll see how is stamina is but he's been great so far very rarely lost the ball

Clever by us not scoring yet as we don't want Yaya on

[hollowsr]

I've always hated this ref and this performance is doing nothing to improve him in my eyes

[RevidgeBlue]

Got to be happy with the way we've played overall but we haven't anyone on the pitch who can stick the ball in the net. Starting Rhodes might have been the difference given we've dominated large parts of the half.

Edit: and a sloppy goal defensively.

[LondonRovers]

Goal city. Negredo

[Stuart]

What a sucker punch. We have been magnificent this first half.

[hollowsr]

bloody Lowe

[FGS5635]

Uuuugghh kean goal to concede that. Looked offside though

[Bundesburn]

Offside by half a yard, surely?!

Who would you have dropped in his place?

[bigbrandjohn]

Against the run of play. Just what we didnt need. Two men unmarked in the penalty area. 10 seconds left of the half. Shame.

[moerpho]

Damn it - that feally felt unfair. Still proud of the boys. Great first half and really didn't deserve that goal.

[SoldierMo]

Jason lowes lost his man?

[Tom]

What did I bloody say about set pieces

For the second home game in a row Jason Lowe loses his man at the back post and we concede

Shoddy after all that

[davulsukur]

S'up with Hanley?

[Tom]

What a sucker punch. We have been magnificent this first half.

Your mate Lowe ball watching as well

[Devon Rover]

Great effort through the first half. Undone by poor defending of a set piece. Again. What a shame.

[OJRovers]

I wouldn't mess with Hanley, looks like he's in a rage with Taylor!

[John]

Missed it but players pushing each other?

[Lurid Coat]

Hanley and Taylor pushing each other and exchanging some words there.. Not good, wonder what that was all about

[rovers11]

Outstanding first half. Cairney best player on pitch.

[neophox]

Why did hanley and taylor fight with each other?
