FA Cup R5 | Swansea (A) | 10/02 Wed 5:30pm

It really is strange that it’s only national news and a scandal when it benifits us, all the other times it doesn’t matter.

can’t think why!

 

[Eccles Blue]

Until the full time whistle goes no one has won the match. We should never be complacent. Come on City.

 

[Manchester33]

Anyone thinking these will be easy, Liverpool fans included, needs to think again.

Yes, ability wise we are streets ahead. But away in cheltenham, they'll be giving it all and it's a banana skin for sure. Can we play our game there? Can we stand up to them on set pieces? Will they be start struck or will they go in extra hard to show us it won't be easy, with a referee who has a soft spot for the underdog?

11 Vs 11 on a big pitch in spring, sure we'll do most teams from Stalybridge to Napoli. Away, windy wet weather, needs application and character. Yes, we should win, but not a foregone conclusion by any means.

Pep tends to get us up for most games and we should do them by a few, but they'll want to drag us down to their level and make a fight of it. Longer the game goes on without a city goal the more confident they'll get.

We shouldn't be complacent, but Cheltenham Town can only be considered as an easy draw. There's no way of spinning it into a difficult fixture. Our second team should beat them by at least 5. No excuses, we just need to get the job done.

As as West County Blue, am disappointed that I won't have an opportunity to fight for tickets for the Cheltenham match.
Other Blues might be interested in supporting Cheltenham Town's Crowdfunder to raise funds for them:

Ticky, tacky football isn't going to work on what could resemble a ploued field we will have to adapt.

You will be happy to hear the pitch is usually well maintained and in good order. However a ploughed field may help us out lol. Looking forward to having you down here, hopefully with a strong team. COYR

Cheltenham are very direct but the strikers are quite nippy, also got a guy with a massive long throw. Height will be needed hopefully ake is back by then, walker will be needed as well. Ferna and Rodders will have to be in there to win second balls.

Heard us called many things (usually by oppo managers), However, direct is not one attribute most Cheltenham fans would recognise. The reverse tends to be true as we pass the ball back and forward at a leisurely pace lol

Anyone know what time and day we’re playing ???

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

The first tie should be straightforward hoping the days of Halifax and Shrewsbury are well behind us. In normal circumstances either of the potential 5th round games would be difficult as they would both attract packed and passionate home support. In empty stadiums however I think we have little to fear. Draw could certainly have been vastly worse.
