Author Topic: 17 Jan 2023 Albion 4 Chesterfield 0 (FA Cup Round 3 Replay) (Read 10774 times)

In the end a routine win.

Haven’t seen the game other than the 3 goals they played on the BBC just

Malcolm scored after so I’m really happy for him.

Through to the next round

It was interesting to see the players reaction Livermore scoring. Nearly every player joined in congratulating him. He’s obviously a popular figure in the dressing room and to have in the squad

Just a bit concerned about Phillips hobbling off. He's been an important player for us in the last few games.

A rather routine victory. First half was completely one sided for the first 30 mins even though we weren't playing well. We let them have a sniff for the last 15 minutes of the first half.

Game was killed off early in 2nd half. It just got boring then but we had to remain focused.

Through to the next round.

A game we didn't need but it's done now and out the way.

EDIT - Malcolm did ok, looks a bit nippier than Dike, BTA but had to tell as i was flat looking onto the pitch. Seems more of your nimble type forward

How did Andrews look? Didn’t watch but an exciting one for the future from what I’ve read

Andrews was ok, didn't stand out, didn't look awful either.

To face Bristol City in the next ground. Andy Johnson has his wish!

Didn't see the point in bringing any of the first XI on at 3-0 up but hey ho!

I thought he played really well given it was his debut. Wanted to be involved and used the ball well.

Comfortable win as it ought to be. Swift excellent, nice to see youngsters get a chance. Ajayi does not look right at all though.

We made silly mistakes but Chesterfield didn't do enough to punish

But it was a professional performance and players who played did themselves the world of good. Ajayi isn't quite there yet his passing was poor especially in the 1st half.

Malcolm came on and looked lively & got a goal. Andrews was neat and tidy. I felt Cleary played well and looks like he needs a loan spell

All in all a good win, Bristol City (Away) in the cup. Lets have a good run. But Obviously league is the bread and butter

Matty Phillips went off as a precaution i feel. Game was won so no issues

He was atrocious.

Comfortable victory. The only head scratcher for me was resting the first teamers and putting out a second string you feel is good enough to win the game only to risk the first teamers when the game is won. Thought Andrews did really well considering, certainly didn’t look out of place.

Comfortable win . Downside TGH isn’t a fb and it showed , Ajayi nowhere near at his best at the moment . Rogic was disappointing Swift his goal apart was poor. Diangana to me is wasted on the right . All three of the young lads did ok , Andrews looks a neat and tidy footballer, Cleary could be a real assset, Malcolm looks like pace is his biggest asset and took his goal well

It doesn't matter. Really we should have picked a strong team in the 1st game won it and the replay wouldn't have existed.

Was a bit brainless for me too. 3 0 and game was already over. CC has said Phillips is off to the doctor's in the morning. Fingers crossed it's nothing serious.
