WBA at home fourth round of the FA Cup match thread

[Slack]

Someone needs to try a longshot, this keepers positioning seems off 

[Davefevs]

That Alex Scott is quite good isn't he?

He's a yard quicker than virtually everyone else on the pitch.

meanwhile the gas getting their cockles picked- could be a fantastic day

Brilliantly ball across by Sykes, who apparently has nothing in the final third according to a section of City fans.

Defo looks better after a week off from what I have seen.

[Wanderingred]

I look forward to seeing Scott and Bell in a Bournemouth/Burnley/Crystal Palace shirt next season.

Alex Scott is rather like a test cricket batter - he just seems to have that much more time.  So comfortable in possession.

Superb goal, such a smooth, measured but powerful finish.

Sammy makes it look easy but it was far from it.

It all came completely naturally to him.

We've got another young star in the making on our hands, no doubt about it.

So far so good. We are looking good all over the pitch.COYR

shame for that heavy touch, when striding through.

 

On an aside Naismith has been very good.

Great diving header from Vyner.

Sykes very efficient, and Wells has done all you could ask for the central forward to do.

[Silvio Dante]

Well.

That was superb. 
 

Only small gripe from me is that Max’s kicking (my prior moans about his floaty ones to the flanks) remains a concern and I think we ceded possession easily from them 5 or 6 times. Get why he’s going flanks as they’re bigger than us but needs more pace on the kicks.

As for Scott. I almost hope we sub him at half time. If he plays like that the second half there is no way he won’t be highlighted on MOTD. He’s running this. If the cat was out of the bag before, it’s now left the cat flap and is shitting in next doors garden.

The drop in quality from Pring is absolutely massive. 

He's just too weak, too slow, too passive. Infuriating player. 

Is Pring injured?

[ProfitInMyPocket]

I don't know about you guys but I'm seeing no progression under Pearson, get 'im out 

I'm joking of course, it's almost like we needed a bit of patience, a real lack of that in football and society nowadays.

Good first half, they're going to create some chances with the high press, a few loose touches have left the door open for them but once we've broken the press we've shown a real threat to go and punish them.

These crop of young players coming through breathing life into our club again, they don't come in and coast - they really get stuck in and fight for every yard and every ball. 

Keep it up, COYR.

One swallow does not a summer make. 
I’d fully expect a professional footballer int he championship to have the occasional good game. And he’s had one or two. 
It’s the 2,500 unsuccessful crosses this season that had people stating that he offered nothing in the final third. 
I’d expect a pro footballer to get one right now and then. And today he did. Great run and great cross. Fair play to him. If he can do that once in every 3 or 4 games I’ll change my mind.

That would be funny if it weren’t so close to the truth.

Excellent half. Shame it’s a cup game.

Solid performance all round. Just got to keep it simple and wait for the gaps to open up. We’re so quick on the break. So much better than trying to probe. Get at them and get round the back!

And Conway that's at least 60 million quid for those 3

Morecambe 3 - 0!

[Ivorguy]

I have hoped for a long time we would find a striker locally and now we have found two.

Really optimistic now, altho always supported NP, believing if he had time would deliver on pitch as well as off it.  Guess he and Tins work well together.

 

Let us hope we keep going in second half, but whatever happens first half proves we are beginning to have a real gem to support.  First time since promotion season.

[BCFC Rich]

Wow! Just wow!
