Great result tonight, was hoping to go but was reminded last night I was supposed to be at a family dinner.
Agreed - we seem to be much more capable of great deliveries during the match and in-game-play than when we have time to assess!Our set pieces are probably an area we need to improve on. Especially corners.

There we go, Bobby Gould admitting he wanted Wimbledon to win.
However you look at tonight's game - we won...& came from a goal down despite being under pressure for about 2/3 of the game. REAL CHARACTER - the lads came of age tonight IMO.
How the fuck did they pay 7 mill for hartson and pay him 10k a goal? ?????

Don't know whether this has been commented on earlier in the thread but piss poor management by Ardley allowing his players to turn up for the game so close to kick off.
I would have thought midday for an evening kick off would seem the norm in order to prepare the team appropriately.
Ardley commented after the game that his first choice keeper turned up at the final whistle!
I woke up 10 minutes ago and thought how lucky were we to get through. I thought we played shite and we're lucky with those 2 goals.

wow, so philosophical yet so early in the day....
great result, avoided the giant killing and another learning curve for what is predominantly our graduates from the academy.
Wimbledon played well, get over it. Pressley didn't seem too concerned, honest in his assessment but very pleased were through to the next round.
fickle cov fans as usual...
Did you expect Wimbledon just to turn up and roll over, some early good saves from Murphy, that's his job, got lucky with first goal, it happens but as the game moved on we got stronger and stronger and looked impressive. Eased off once the third went in, that's the sign of a decent side, well drilled. If we can keep Waggotts hands off it in January we should be okay.

I'll say this much-getting to watch the City in the pub (though the guy at the bar took some persuading to put it on!), was something I've missed quite a bit, especially as pretty much every game is impractical to get to from Scotland (eyeing up PNE in January but that's about it). It obviously isn't the same as being there but I still couldn't get enough of it
As for the game-the passing around our own third of the pitch was suicidal and better teams would have punished that more effectively than Wimbledon did (though they still got a goal out of it), and the conditions weren't really conducive to a passing game anyway. 3-1 was probably generous but winning despite not being at the races is the mark of a good team-so no complaints here.
I'd say the passing in our own third was dangerous but not suicidal - even though it cost us a goal. I was more impressed with AFC than dissapointed with City. AFC stopped us from playing for much of the game with their tight marking etc, whilst not letting it affect their own attacking. We have come on so far in such a short amount of time. A lot of our danger players weren't getting a look in so that passing around in our half was neccessary to break them down. The difference between this team and the last team to excecute that style of play is that these boys know when and how to pull the trigger.
