I don't care how much you all hate Luke Freeman, there still a buzz for me every time he gets the ball.
What about 10 seconds after he gets the ball?

For people watching, is taking Odemwingie off a smart move? Seems like a step backwards bringing him off for Freeman.

Definitely, absolutely inexcusable. He was certainly cut, had blood on his face.
Not that it should make any difference, but the fact that it was almost certainly from one of his own fans is even more incredible. He was going over to clap the fans and give his shirt to someone in the front row. That he even managed to do that after being struck is credit to him.

Still can't believe that any fan would throw anything, let alone something as dangerous as a coin, at a player. I'd be just as angry as Chris Brunt. Looks like he might have a cut from it.

I see Cherlie Austin moved on yesterday. Could have done a job for us.
Good one.

I think its safe to say that sadly there is a minority of our fans that take pleasure in City's struggles. Should we start to improve our fortunes i think a number of people would struggle to cope.
If you're inferring that I am one of these fans, you're very wrong. I am fuming.
Also, I get that people are rallying and are happy with the performance, I really do. Compared to some of the other games we've played, this is clearly a standout display.
Conceding a goal in the very last seconds against a team once can be considered unfortunate, particularly against a team full of internationals. When you add that to the other two games, though, it surely highlights a fundamental problem that needs to be fixed.
It's not like we have a sub-par defence. In fact, I will go on record that Baker is our best player and is too good for us. Similarly, Flint, Ayling and the full-backs are more than worthy of playing in this league. You could suggest that the midfield is too open (don't worry, I won't let this become a Pack debate), but if that were really the case then we'd be getting tanked every week. Strikers not scoring enough was proved completely wrong today. The introduction of O Leary also proves that you can't lay the blame on Fielding.
Surely, then, it's either a combination of all those things, OR a psychological issue, or both.
I'm NOT laying into the team, at least not any more. I think it's great that we get a replay at home, I think it's great that we battled well enough to get in front after being behind, and I'm very happy that our strikers are firing again.
That said, I stand by what I said before: It is Inexcusable to concede in the final minute of stoppage time on so many occasions. I actually believe that as a team we're only a couple of players away from being able to compete, but if we let this habit get the better of us, we haven't got a hope.
Anyway, COYR, Always Believe, let me be a bit angry and then I'll be back on your side.

To the people giving me stick, fair enough. Perhaps I should be applauding the team - what with O Leary coming in and the performance, it was inspiring for a long while.
I just feel like we should be allowed to expect to hold out a game to the end. Ok, maybe not this one - Premier League team etc etc. However, I've kept from complaining after watching both the Reading and Charlton games. Now I've had enough.

It's the FA cup and we weren't expected to win! That's a rubbish attitude, no points or anything lost and now we host a Premier League team at the gate and with a full house we can take them. Well done to the players and the fans!!
Fair play for the optimism, but I was ready to say that this game was the turn of the corner. Instead the exact same problem of not being able to hold on rears its head again.

I don't want to hear any of the usual "the fact we're disappointed shows how far we've come" rubbish. That's as bad as a loss. Inexcusable.

Unless they've had their goals rescinded and Freeman's got a 2 second hat-trick, I can't see why you're so excited.
