Certainly will, haven’t seen the game just followed on the BN site but it’s another indication that we are as good or better than anyone else in L1 so whilst a replay may seem a little inconvenient, it could work out well for us especially if our draw is away against a big fish in the next round. Bring it on Wanderers. Quote
athywhite1958 Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Very well played, a deserved result, grandkids are excited to see a premier league team here at the Reebok Quote

DazBob Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Thought we did brilliantly today. Under the cosh for parts of the 2nd half but dealt with it admirably. If we could've played a better final ball we'd have been in on goal a few times. A replay isn't ideal but the players will have taken a lot of encouragement getting that draw today. Quote

Some money should be available too if the right players can be tempted. Quote
tshape Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 (edited) Well pleased after that. Gave a good account of ourselves - especially in the first half and them players will be feeling mint walking off which can't be a bad thing. Fancied Morley at the end though me....

kent_white Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Cup runs can go either way can't they? Sometimes you just build up a head of steam and it works in your favour..... Quote

I think a centre half as cover wouldn't go amiss, though whether any decent loanees are available is the difficulty. We do have Ireland to come back though. Another striker too. As khumbeni has been recalled, that's another midfielder available as cover. Quote

Surely they'd want them playing rather than waiting for a suspension or injury Quote

Saw a video which showed him stepping it up in training the other day. He's been a big miss this season. Quote

L/H White Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 draws tomorrow, so both teams knowing who'll they'll have next round could certainly sway teams selections, especially with current positions of both clubs Quote

tomski Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Superb performance. Think this could really springboard our season (I know it’s going well) Cant wait for the replay. A bit of cup pride has brought me right back in. Quote

Great following and we play some smashing stuff. Felt proud watching us. Vic was brilliant in the first half along with Sheehan who should simply be first name on the teamsheet when it comes to our midfield. ....eyes will be looking at Evatt with displays like that. Especially if we can beat em at home. Quote
Lostock Whites Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 (edited) Keep fighting on all fronts, confidence and keeping a positive mentality is more important than anything. Should never go into any game, hoping to lose so we might have a few more days of recovery. I think we can still make wholesale changes against Accy on Wednesday and still be more than strong enough to win. League is the obvious priority, but days like today and a replay at home under the lights against Premier League opposition will do us no harm at all. The players, staff and supporters can take a lot of confidence from that today, great performance. Edited January 7, 2024 by Lostock Whites Quote
