Would take a draw...

Absolutely, a draw between Man City and Burnley would be very useful. 

A draw between City and Watford won’t.

GOAL - Watford 1-0 Bristol City

Andre Carrillo (37 mins)

Andre Carrillo slots in from close range to give the Premier League side the lead. That's been coming. Peruvian goals in the FA Cup!

Phew I was just beginning to think Steele would have to throw one in his net to avoid a replay

Is it the QPR game we are hoping for a QPR win so that we get a Saturday off for round 4?

If we lose, of course.

That's right, they are home to MK Dons which you'd expect them to win. If they do, we have no game the weekend after the Man City home leg (assuming we lose today!)

Another 'studs up' red card for Wolves 

[Ivorguy]

Anyone at the game care to tell the rest of us how our kids are doing?  OK by the sound of it

Yeah just saw that. Why bother in a cup game FFS?

[Fiale]

Surprised Engvall is not starting, thought he would play and then get subbed for second half for one of the youngsters.

Very strange to want us to lose, but I think many of us do.

Nice easy game Tuesday, good prep for the big one on Sat v Norwich

Ederson walker and KDB not playing

Blimey, you are clutching at straws. KDB carrying slight knock so on bench.

Hopefully will get a run out 2nd half in place of Taylor or Woodrow.

Only just occurred to me that we could've lost 4 on the bounce going in to the Norwich game. Sounds really bad on paper.

[CrazyInWeston]

Man City 1 down to Burnley

0-0 at half time. You`d think QPR won`t want a replay so will step it up second half.

[JBFC II]

H/T, decent scoreline considering the team we put out, Opi Edwards sounds promising, done more than Eliasson

[RedNight]

Cauley Woodrow > Matty Taylor 

[cityexile]

Balance of play wise, can not argue wth that, we even managed a couple of shots late on. 

Hopefully we can keep the score sensible, and will have a lot of players gain from the experience.

[Port Said Red]

Doesn't matter who turns out, we are a second half team :).

based on Eliasson's recent appearances that would not be hard... whoever our Nordic scout is needs firing.

Watford 1-0 Bristol City

The Premier League side have been comfortable at Vicarage Road. Bristol City aren't out of this yet, but they've surely got their eyes on Tuesday's Carabao Cup meeting with Manchester City.

Lucky we play on grass then.

[stogursey red]

anyone else think Taylor is playing like a man who dont want to get an injury before a jan move, got to be one of his quietest games for city

[Red Bill]

I wonder how the gas are getting on..........

Bit harsh, thought he was the motm v burton and he did well v Watford earlier on in the season, he's still young and learning, has all the attributes

[kevthered]

Come on City...I never want to lose and that includes today...We could put the young uns out again even if we get Manure..Let's do this crap

Saw that we had 30-35% possession for large parts of the game, always going to be hard when you don't see much of the ball. More pressure to make Those occasions count. 

Would love these guys to get a draw or win. It would give them some good competitive games.
