I really want to go to the new spurs stadium, would love to get that draw in the next round and hopefully pull it out the bag in the replay
And me like to see all my handy work 246 cov scalves, flags and stickers. :)

Great performance. Thought Walsh and Kelly were immense.
Thought the only area they looked a cut above the league one teams we face was their centre halves but Godden ran his socks off to try and give them an uncomfortable afternoon.
Same double substitution that didn't work against MK but it really freshener us up today.
Didn't want a draw due to fixture congestion but no reason we can't win. The players deserve another crack at it.

Awful game really. Barely a shot on target all afternoon from either side. We shaded it though, gutted with the late miss and could do without the replay.

Ironically playing at ST Andrews made an atmosphere that took you back it time. Largely it was fantastic.

If it was at a half empty Ricoh most people would have gone home saying how crap it was

Were people here in the crush near the bar before the match?

Awful layout

Was funny but very dangerous, can imagine some elderly and young children got hurt/scared

atmosphere flat ?. Its the best atmosphere i've seen at St Andrews this season. It didn't feel like a reserve game

Of course it was it was sold out you idiot and half the ground had away fans in it. If it was at the Ricoh it would have been a real bore fest

Wonder if the replay will be televised, interesting scenario that we are now the away team in a home ground against the home grounds home team ...

today was the one which would have sparked some interest due to birmingham being in away dressing room etc. The reply won't.

Fucking sit down then. Disabled people and kids unable to see because of dicks standing everywhere.

I 100% agree on this. There was a woman well in her 80’s randomly on her own near me and couldnt to see a thing as the Neanderthals stood up in front of her. I ended up finding a police guy in the concourse to tell the fucker to sit down. There was an element of that today no doubt

Compared to the Stoke game a couple of years ago it was nowhere near. The game was different though, and had we scored it would have erupted. Thought Blues fans were quiet second half too.

The thing is it started from the front so people had to stand up to be able to see.

The whole block I was in was standing, no choice but to.

Anyone else think Brum looked an average league 1 side ?
I think you have to put in context: it was a cup game, it was a local derby and it was a weird situation. As well as well played I dont think we can take much away in terms of difference in league standard.

Stoke were a premier team. We’d have had far less for this game and we didn’t win - it was a very intense atmosphere today

I know. It was one element that was poor. Some twat was in my seat and seemed reluctant to move until I told him to fuck off or you’ll be chucked out. Some other bloke next to me kept calling Dabo a useless c**t the whole game - it was tiresome in that respect

the prem league stoke game in Coventry ?.

If O'Hare would have scored the place would have gone mad, likely kicked off even more outside and all ccfc fans raving about the day. Fine lines

Enjoyed that today. Thought second half we were the better team and should have won it at death. Not sure how O’Hare didn’t score.
Brum better side first half; technically and physically.
the atmosphere was good especially from SBA and proud that the team finished stronger whereas brum started to tire. I came to the game fearing we might lose by a couple bit on train home disappointed we didn’t win.
Three centre halves excellent... Dabo did well to keep going against a v good wing. Walsh and Kelly ran the midfield for long periods. Work so well as a pair. WestBrooke and shippers not at their best today.

It was just a recent cup game I chose as a comparison. It was OK, and had the game been different and there had been some goals in it, I'm sure it would have been bouncing. Didn't find it particularly intense, so we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Brum fans increasingly quiet second half...talking to some on way back to station they were worried and thought we were going on to win it. And we should have.

every game in birmingham feels like an away game, but today certainly did. most people standing and behaving like an away day

No I thought they looked better than a league one team, and they were the better team in the first half . But second half we were much better
I think we were a little worried first 20-25 then we took over from second half we pinned them in their defence was very good

Can see why Bakayoko chose to head it across goal for O’Hare, but I really think if he headed it at goal it’s 1-0 because Lee Camp clearly isn’t on his toes for it.
