It's a game of two halves, son
Whoever scores the most goals usually wins

0-0 and a relplay

We'll be knackered from Wednesday night and will field a weakened team against Preston so we can put a full-strength (and ultimately victorious) team out against Tittenham Snotpsur and thus look forward to an 8-0 drubbing in the Final against Chelsea!



Consequently, we will lose at Preston!

Play a weakened side? Distracted by Wednesday evening? Struggling for goals? 2-2, replay at BDTBL

There is a long way to go in the FA Cup but the chances of another FA Cup semi final just went up massively this afternoon. Will be interesting to see if Preston make loads of changes again for the replay as I am sure we will field a very strong team for the game given that it is a week after the Spurs game. With Chelsea, Man City, Spurs, Southampton, Newcastle, Swansea and Everton all out and West Ham and Arsenal facing distinctly tricky ties, there is a serious opening for some Championship and League 1 sides to go a long, long way.

We could have done without the replay but i'll settle for it and we're in the hat for the draw,good result for our reserve sideand just shows how well we could do this season as we've played Preston 3 times and not lost once,winning one and drawing two.Well done lads and really happy for Diego no matter how he scored it.

Quick summary of game today.

Poor to average first half - probably because we started with 3 at the back - We looked all over the place.

Second half - great performance - Murphy changed the game - Reed again magnificent although he looked knackered on 80 minutes.
MOM - young Kennedy - great battling performance - with a fair amount of skill and composure.
For ALL the fans on here who slagged Basham off at the start of the season - how wrong you were - he is a great footballer at this level AND so adaptable.
Geronimo - nice finish - great set up by Murph.
All in all, a competent and professional performance considering we "rested" our Midweek team - we did what was needed and didn't lose.

NOW BRING ON THE SPURS.

UTB

My favourite part of today was a bloke behind me. I quote... "I can't understand why we haven't played the same team that beat them 2-1 the other week".

I can't think of any major reason why, I'm not sure if anyone else can?

Everything on here seems OK at my age.
