Wow, I have not even had time to rant about the Pompey defeat when the boys go and and do us very proud in the Cup once again. Once more, they all stood up to be counted, but a few special shouts must go out...firstly to Collins who played a very solid game at the back with Danny, winning headers and making some excellent tackles. All of the midfield were excellent, though Matty's work rate for me was once again the highlight. And the Deano and Marlon show rolls-on. Top performance, we never let a lacklustre City settle and if I'm honest I was pretty happy to see Bradley WP starting for them. He is nowhere near as good as Shaun (yet) and I thought the boys of the backstuff could marshall him easily, which they did.
I am sorry to see City go out, Psycho was good humoured throughout the game and the game was entertaining and free-flowing. The sending off of Sun Jihai was a strange one, I must admit I was surprised to see the red but looking at the replay a few times, he does raise his arms to little Matty, who seems to get bullied quite a lot these days.
Anyhoo, not worrying too much about anything else tonight, onwards to Cardiff!
