[Archived] Crewe - FA Cup (Again!)

[DanielMB]

Hopefully we will just play the u-23 for the replay. 2 important games on either side.

[Lihamylly]

Damn it. We have one goal and one goal only this season, don't need any extra games / distractions imo.

Depends what 3rd round draw reveals.

[GreenRover]

Down to nine players so a draw not a bad result I would think. How many unbeaten now?????

[Earlydoors]

Ah come on. Still in the cup. Replay on tv ?

 

[JPTSwindon]

Wow! Well goals a plenty for those in attendance. 

Comfortable, positive start - very encouraging.  2 red cards turned things around but credit that we held on in the end.

The red cards were deserved, clumsy and daft and they've cost us an unneeded additional game.

Played 30! With 9 but 3-1 up against a struggling L2 side. We've bottled this today. Standards expectations of this club need to be higher

Noticed a bit of handbags after the whistle

From our lit bar Bennett they'd struggle with a paper bag

I hope we smash 'em in the replay, especially that cheating #*?@ who rolled round on the floor and got Benno sent off. I think Caddis tried to give him slap at the final whistle.

Delighted we got a replay. We'd better play a strong team and get into the 3rd round.

Indeed. More than just a handshake from Rickie!

[Husky]

Not bad. An entertaining game. We got the draw with 9 men. I'll accept that.

I don't subscribe to this 'oh my god a replay, one more game bah humbug crap'. Big @#/?ing deal, professional players should stop being such pussies (especially at 3rd tier level). I was only reading recently about the Full Members cup (you know the one we won in 87) final of 1986. Chelsea beat Man City 5-4 and both teams played a league game the DAY BEFORE the final - Man City's was a tough Manc Derby game too.

If we draw Burnley in the 3rd round we can always put out a team to lose at Crewe. It's a win win situation!

Merry Christmas!

[Swanson]

How did the young lad Travis play?

They can always watch it on ceefax whilst they wait 2 weeks for the council to grit the roads.

[davefarnworth]

Put out a first team and beat them 4-2. Then the precious lambs can rest for Christmas and await a proper game.

[blueboy3333]

When's the replay?

[bluefred]

Wene  is the replay ?

just seen 12 December 7.45 

[philipl]

Only 3 cards in the game.

2 reds for Rovers, 1 yellow for Crewe which should have become red.

It will be a disaster if we fail to go through having been 3 up after 20 minutes.

A win to keep the run going would've been nice, but even though we'd rather do without the extra match, it's still winnable, and we're still in the competition.

While Bennett is going to be a loss, Harper isn't, and we've surely got enough in our ranks to cover Bennett. Disaster? Not really.

2 reds and a replay is by far the worst outcome possible but these things happen

2 reds is a bad outcome but because of the circumstances a replay is good because that will be one of the games that the 2 who got reds will serve a suspension rather than an extra league game, as I understand.

if I am wrong, I am sure someone will put me right.

[blueboy3333]

I'd be surprised if we didn't appeal Bennett's red. There didn't look much in it. But it's hardly a disaster with Conway due to return.

[rog of the rovers]

The Professional foul (Harper) should be a one game ban.

Bennett's Violent conduct will be 3, but increased to 4 games as he's already been sent off this season.

Therefore

Peterborough (a) - Harper suspended

Peterborough (a), Crewe (a), Charlton (h), Northampton (a) - Bennett suspended
