Well done you Hoops, victory snatched from the jaws of defeat!
On to Hornchurch...who certainly gave City two very hard games in the Trophy a couple of seasons ago.

A great win, but boy was that close in the first ninety minutes! Parker equalised in the 92nd minute...

Well, got away with that one a bit.
After giving a soft goal away in the first half, we were lucky not to concede a second on the break as their hero from Saturday somehow missed a one-on-one, which would have been game over.
For periods of the second half we resorted to a long ball game which tended to be overhit and therefore lead to nothing, rather than keeping it on the floor, playing the game that has seen us have so much success in recent seasons.
But another 90th minute set piece lead to Parker lashing a loose ball home, and actually started creating chances, nearly winning it in normal time.
Klaidi Lolos’s shot early in extra time went straight under the keeper, with the match sealed late on with the hosts committing men forwards.
Our decision making in the final third is a big concern over the two games, passing instead of shooting and vice versa.
Long old journey though. Not much short of a 12 hour day, so work tomorrow morning will be fun!

An excellent result with the team showing great character again. Really would love to reach the first round proper and draw someone like Derby, Ipswich or Sheff Weds at home (Never stop dreaming)
Well done rijs for predicting that there would be extra time.

There's a detailed, lengthy and balanced report of the match on Parkway's website HERE. Some kind words about the play of City in general and Zac in particular. Good luck to them for the rest of the season. |
