I swear blind every year that I will not come to cups game in this competition I have missed a couple but tonight was intrigued enough to see some new players.
Really pleased I made the effort. cracking game of football, full of goals, chances and the dreaded penalty shootout with a happy ending.
We started tonight suprisinly with a 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 whatever way you look at it, BFG in the centre and Ball on the right, Barbet on the left, for me it did not work as Barbet
drifted to far over and left us a bit exposed down the centre, Kane and Manning played quite a distance ahead, 4 goals in the first half including a 35 yard free kick from them, I’m not convinced any keeper should be beaten from that distance, even though it was a cracking shot.
Second half went back to a back 4, however I thought City got on top as we lost our way a bit.
Newbies tonight were Kelly who maybe should have done better with free kick, however saved 2 pens in shootout, looks comfortable and assured, Pugh is a very intelligent unselfish player who always looks to put people clear, blowing out his #### on 60 mins, Smith looks a tidy player but not sure he will be a regular, Amos looks ahead of him in development. Decent effort from everyone with Wells outstanding in the first half, and scored a penalty in the shootout.
Things looking good as we now seem to have competition in all areas, got to give a mention to Chair, this little pocket rocket is a joy to watch, doesn’t always come off for him but he causes panic in opposition defences, should sign him up now on a 5 year deal, this lad could go to the top.
Just under 6,000 including about 1000 City, real buzz in walk back to station, best £5 I have spent in a long while.
