WellRedPhil Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Knew it wouldn't be anyone exciting ;( Although not an 'attractive' tie, we do have a genuinely good chance of reaching the 5th round for the first time in ages, which should be incentive enough for the players!

WellRedPhil Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Good draw really, the 5th round is there for us if we want it. Completely agree. Ok it's not a glamorous away tie like a lot of us were hoping for and my first reaction was a groan, but on reflection it is a decent draw as for the first time in ages we have a good chance of progressing to the 5th round. 2 clubs in our league only a few points ahead of us at home, if we want it enough we can win these 2 games!

Ryan_BCFC Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 so ok cardiff and leicester to get past ! then the 5th round, when was the last time we reached that stage in the fa cup ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I would rather us lose away at a decent Prem side/Ground that draw at home to Leicester then lose the replay (should we fluke our way past Cardiff). Disapointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Good draw, we havnt gone far in the Fa cup for years so this is a good oppurtunity with a couple of winnable games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I would rather us lose away at a decent Prem side/Ground that draw at home to Leicester then lose the replay (should we fluke our way past Cardiff). Disapointing. That's a rubbish way of looking at it I'm afraid. Getting on a good cup run can build confidence for the players and build excitement for the fans and raise the profile of the club. Getting spanked at Stamford Bridge is in no way shape or form a positive experience. That said, let's be honest, we don't really do the FA Cup do we? Or the League Cup for that matter. Being drawn at home is the main thing as we're clearly strongest at Ashton Gate. Cardiff and Leicester will of fancied these forthcoming ties a lot less then we should be.

Disapointing. Why would we fluke it past Cardiff then? Good job we're not one of the big 4 isn't it,we'd never get an exciting draw then,we'd have to wait till at least the semis for it. Of course if we make round 5 then the semis are 2 wins away,and you can win 1-0 and play boring football and you'd still be allowed to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we don't do well in the FA Cup yet you think we can go on a good cup run? I don't think a spanking away at a top side is really going to damage us. We lost 6-0 to Ipswich the season we got to the PO final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be reading into it a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Red Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 so ok cardiff and leicester to get past ! then the 5th round, when was the last time we reached that stage in the fa cup ??

Robbored Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 The last time we reached the fifth round was in 2001 and we were beaten 3 - 0 by Leicester City at Filbert Street I was there and the food outlets were closed because they had a power cut in the stand. The view was dire as we were below the pitch looking up at the players legs. It was crap and Matt Hill either gave away a penalty or scored an own goal - can't remember which it was.

Red Ferret Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 In theory it is an excellent draw If Cardiff beat us then they won't have the money spinning cup tie they so desperately need in the 4th round to generate some much needed income I bet Ridsdale was pissed off when Leicester came out the hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gater2 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 As others have stated, I think it's an OK draw. Home tie is very important, and if we do want it we could be through to the 5th round. Other teams might see it as a chance to play youngsters but we know GJ won't do this and will probably play a full strength team. Would be great to make it to the 5th round, haven't done that in years! At least we haven't got Boro again this year (although that might have been an easier tie..)

Nogbad the Bad Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 What about leicester at home.................. More than happy with that, as I said anyone at home will do me. Really not interested in the 'family fun day out' to a so-called big club playing half their reserves - not at this early stage anyway. I'm optimistic City's home games are going to be alot more interesting and entertaining from now on and I wouldn't be surprised to see us put both Cardiff and Leicester to the sword. If so, fingers crossed our luck holds with another home draw and then things will really get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 So we don't do well in the FA Cup yet you think we can go on a good cup run? I don't think a spanking away at a top side is really going to damage us. We lost 6-0 to Ipswich the season we got to the PO final. You're putting words in my mouth. I said I think it's better to have home draws against lower sides and build up some confidence and form than be happy to get beaten and go out as you would seem happy doing so. Especially given our current form and likely mid table finish this season, a victory over Cardiff next Tuesday could be very important. As for 'fluking' past them...they have they're issues at the moment you know, they haven't got a fit central midfield last I read plus Ledley could be off.
