Silkmen v Trotters (match thread)

[Holden midfielder]

Positives: Bogdan was my MOM, some outstanding saves to keep us in the tie. Macc played some good stuff and deserve at least a point.

Negatives: Robbo should be embarrassed, exposed as Shiiite by a League two sides. I know he wears the white short and all but ffs grab an academy player and five him a chance vice Robbo.

[CarlosHernandez]

Sure Robinson was beaten time after time, but at least it is clear Coyle rates him behind Ricketts and Alonso.

What's his religion got to do with anything?

[CrazyHorse]

Not a bad blog piece on the game here. Suprisingly impartial for a BBC hack too.

Anyone got a rough idea of the date for the replay?

Tuesday 17th January 2012
The FA Cup Third Round replay

[P.O.S.]

Positives: Bogdan was my MOM, some outstanding saves to keep us in the tie. Macc played some good stuff and deserve at least a point.

Negatives: Robbo should be embarrassed, exposed as Shiiite by a League two sides. I know he wears the white short and all but ffs grab an academy player and five him a chance vice Robbo.

Very interesting to be able to actually hear the players communicate with eachother being so close to the pitch - Robinson screaming at team-mates and blaming everyone in sight for mistakes he'd made himself!

[officer_dibble]

its amazing how quickly robbo has become a joke

funnily enough - almost word-for-word how a west ham fan I chatted to today described Nolan - he was asking if we wanted him back!

And that is what really pisses me off about him. I could tolerate it if he was just a fading pro whose skills had diminished, but the constant barking and blaming others for his mistakes infuriates me. If I was Petrov or Wheater I would punch him.

[Athers]

All the shouting is probably desperation about himself from Robbo - he's been dropped for 3 different players this season and knows it all too well I imagine.

dont think martin or david being in a Coma would help us much.

[Lord Kangana]

Well at least we've found something he might be good at, though my money is on a lump like Wheater giving him a biblical twatting, as he's probably shit at that too.

*cough*coylesmates*cough*

[Lord Kangana]

Indeed, his fall from grace has been spectacular from the first game that he didn't play for Coyle. Coincidentally, he preferd to pick a right back out of position then too.

[Devon White]

Then we play swansea at home

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Get in! Wheats gets his first goal of the season! Woop woop!

He should have been off first half for the rugby tackle on Hamshaw.

Wheater, sent off? It'll never happen...

Any other thoughts, our welcome man of the posh cloth?

Hey up everyone - Macc Town fan here.

Hope you all enjoyed your day down in Macc yesterday. Not exactly the most exciting place in the world but generally alright for a few beers before a game! Was good to chat to a few Bolton supporters yesterday (saw a lot on the train as I headed back to Sheffield after the match) - seemed a very friendly bunch.

I thought it was a really good old school cup tie. We did brilliantly to come back into it after the early goal (I was half expecting a right panning at that point), played some good stuff at times and might have sneaked an extra goal ahead. Having said that, once you equalised at 2-2 we were hanging on and only a brilliant last ditch tackle, good save and the woodwork saved us.

What struck me as strange was the quality of your defence. I knew they weren't great (from the League Cup game earlier this year) but Wheater and Knight are surely going to get absolutely crucified in the Premiership?! They're both so ponderous and clumsy - Wheater was perhaps a bit fortunate to even stay on as an over-zealous ref (Chris Foy?!) might well have dismissed him early for upending Hamshaw. Anyway, when a ball got played alongside or in behind Donelly and Daniel were making up yards to get to the ball and relly troubled them.

Funnily enough, Daniel, who had a great game yesterday, isn't very popular at Macc as he tends not to show up for most matches. We're hoping it might have sparked him into life (rather than proving he only bothers for the big games). For us, a lot of credit to Veiga and the 2 centre backs, who all did very well.

On the positive side for you guys, I thought Petrov looked quality (though he seems to drift in and out) and Reo-Coker has a hell of an engine. Also though you looked a lot better when K Davies and Pratley went off and M Davies and Wash N'Gog came on. Also, I guess you have to give credit for getting the draw in a slippery fixture (not doing a Martinez).

Sorry for the long post, all the best for the rest of the season apart from the replay (my prediction for that is a standard 2 - 0 Wanders win, incidentally!).

They are doing!

Really enjoyed my day out down there yesterday, beats a lot of trips to Premiership clubs Ive had over the years, you should be proud that youre holding onto some of the traditional aspects of watching football. It was funny hearing some of the negative comments of the younger Wanderers fans around me whove probably never seen a terrace in their lives, acting like theyd been forced to spend a couple of hours in Beiruit!

Hope youre not expecting a cracking, full house cauldron magic of the cup atmosphere in the replay - but Im sure you knew that anyway after the League Cup game earlier in the season. Good luck!

[TANGODANCER]

Nice comments 07. Thought you played really well with some nice football thrown in there. One of those that could have gone either way. Best of for the replay, although I'll be looking for us to win.

Klasnic was a disgrace on Saturday. Moping around, sulking and shaking his head. I heard he's been moaning about tactics. As has been said, the managers tactics don't mean he's forgotten how to pass, control, run and shoot.

If we fecked him off now, I wouldn't be too arsed.

Apparently, he's the only person who can put the ball in the net. My dead grandmother looks more of a goal threat at the minute.. I bet she's got a better touch too
