Swiftlyon Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well done. You were the better side by a country mile and quite rightly won't have the opportunity to defend the cup next year, giving us proper lower league sides a chance! Probably be the biggest crowd I'll ever see my team play in front of. Thank you. I'll be down your place for the final game, for what will probably be another parade! Congratulations and see you in May. 6 Quote Link to comment
Bristol Rob Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Special mention must go to the Wembley 'cheese burger'. How something can be made that badly it deserves some recognition. Quote Link to comment
ChippenhamRed Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Just got back and a pretty faultless day out from start to finish, apart from the traffic at Slough. Don't really understand the anti-JPT minority on here who didn't go. Regardless of the prestige of the competition, today was a great occasion to be a part of and a proud day for the club. If you missed it, you missed out! 2 Quote Link to comment

Surely you knew before you got there it would be poor quality and over priced like stadium food invariably is. There are so many superior food options before you enter the stadium, there really is no excuse! 1 Quote Link to comment
ChippenhamRed Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Big rip off Wembley; not fair on the fans. Oh for goodness sakes, no one forces the fans to buy it and there were a million options outside the ground. It's not as though the game even kicked off at lunchtime!

Numero Uno Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Not really. I think Walsall were quite hard done by to lose by two goals. They dominated possession for parts of the game What game was that then? What happened is we ended up saving energy for a tough game next week - that's how straighforward it was. Tell me how many saves Frank had to make? Great day out for the Walsall lot though - nothing beats that first time you see your club at Wembley, win, lose or draw.

Super Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I thought it was comfortable, we played well within ourselves and still looked a class above them. Quote Link to comment

Congratulations and see you in May. Have to say i was very disappointed in your lot. To clear off at the final whistle like that was poor, there were only a few handful left to give your lads a "gallant losers" reception, it was left to us to applaud them for getting you there and for not rolling over completely. Poor show. Quote Link to comment
In the Net Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Sounds like a good day out - fair play. I did tune into Sky to watch Oskar lead the team out - what a day for him, but I had a feeling that the rest of the broadcast might not be too enjoyable for me. Quote Link to comment

LondonBristolian Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Not really. I think Walsall were quite hard done by to lose by two goals. They dominated possession for parts of the game Completely disagree. We were utterly comfortable throughout. At times we let Walsall have the ball in areas where they couldn't hurt us but, a slight wobble mid-way through the first half aside, there wasn't a single moment where I thought Walsall might score and I reckon our players had more than enough in the tank to respond if Walsall had got a goal from someone. I thought it was a thoroughly professional performance. What also really struck me, from sitting right up at the top of the stadium and looking down on the action from above, is how fluid our formation is. At different points of the game we were be 3 - 5 - 2, 5 - 3 - 2, 3-2-4-1, 4 - 4 - 2 and 4 - 3 - 1 - 2 and it made it pretty much impossible for Walsall to pick players up or know where they'd be. Seeing the team in a big stadium with a quality pitch just emphasised how good they actually are. Quote Link to comment

Seeing the team in a big stadium with a quality pitch just emphasised how good they actually are. I agree and that fluidity for the most part comes from the engine room that Pack and Smith have become, and the ability of Ayling in particular and Williams to a slightly lesser extent, to bring the ball forward and look confident on the ball. How many centre halves at this level could have played the pass Williams did with the outside of his foot, to start the move for the 2nd goal? Quote Link to comment

WessexPest Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Not really. I think Walsall were quite hard done by to lose by two goals. They dominated possession for parts of the game Rubbish.

Strawberry2157. Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Anyone there like to get me a match day program will put the money in your bank plus postage & cash for a pint for doing it if you can. Thank you in advance a grateful City supporter. You can order programmes online at jpt Quote Link to comment

How many centre halves at this level could have played the pass Williams did with the outside of his foot, to start the move for the 2nd goal? Williams gave a couple of sloppy ones away though in dangerous areas. Flinty was quality on the ball yesterday and Ayling is absolutely different class. There won't be many better ball playing defenders in the championship. Quote Link to comment

Agreed. Very mellow atmosphere (albeit high-spirited in Crystals), and didn't feel any nasty vibes all day. Quote Link to comment
Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Gold. That third disallowed goal would have put the final gloss on it. Quote Link to comment
Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Puts the gloss on our season that does, certainly not something to brush over. Well deserved medal for Matte Smith too. If we had lost, we'd all have been treading on eggshells. Quote Link to comment
AshtonGreat Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Rubbish. Was as one-sided a final as you could wish to see. Third goal was incorrectly chalked off too. Not sure how you can say that. Walsall were poor in the final third but played the ball around nicely. I didn't think City played to our full potential and we will have to perform better against Preston, or we will lose. Quote Link to comment
