T-Ender City MotM: This
was all about team graft and no single player shone, but skipper
Neil Mustoe deserves credit
for a solid game in an unfamiliar position at the centre of a
flat back four.
|
A
late, late Jack Pitcher header from close range was just enough to
see City through to the last qualifying round of the FA Trophy a\t
the expense of lower division Hillingdon Borough who made life difficult
for Gloucester throughout both of these hard fought ties. This replay
was everything the first match wasn't - chances were few and far between
in a tight, scrappy match that offered little spectacle to warm a
sparse attendance. For all of that City dug in and battled as hard
as the opposition, showing just enough extra quality to shade the
game and deserve their win. And this is cup football and if it wasn't
a good match it was a great result - and sometimes winning ugly is
just what is required.

T-Ender Match Snaps

City do battle at a gloomy and rain
sodden St. George's Lane. And that's why there ain't more
pics... |

Team Selection:
Tim Harris may have found his options limited, but even so he
opted for a bold team selection. The 4-4-2 line-up saw skipper
Neil Mustoe pressed into service as a centre-back with Jamie Reid
and Alex Allard back in as orthodox full-backs. Jody Bevan stepped
up his comeback with a first start of the season his reward for
that crucial equaliser on Saturday, while Jack Pitcher's groin
problem has improved enough for him to take a place on the bench.
There was also a first appearance on the bench for cover keeper
Elliott Seddon, doubtless intended to give him a taste of first
team action ahead of a possible debut at Clevedon next weekend.

TBBM Said:

Tactics Board:
|
Anorak Corner:
Adie Harris' brief appearance
means the diminutive veteran paceman has now appeared for City
in nine different seasons. That's one more campaign than Tom Webb
can currently boast, and just one behind than the ten seasons
that Gary Kemp chalked up.
