How about a match thread for this one?
There will be some tinkering this weekend with Oliver Whatmuff off to Spain with the England youngsters. I guess/hope he will be back for the home game against Yeovil on 18th Oct. So the cup match is timely in respect of our League progress.
Apart from that, will there be far more tinkering to rest players as we pass the quarter mark of a so far very successful season? |  | | |  |

Ref: The OP,
With our No.1 'keeper absent, it's essential we maintain our first choice defensive line-up to help Myles as much as possible. IMHO. No tinkering there please! |
Thought we might get a loan in but that’s a good point about the back line. Still think Moss could step into Gordon’s role if TAR is back and we’d be as defensively sound, though we might miss a bit going forward. |  |

Strongest side tomorrow. No cautious changes in defence. That would possibly slow down the tempo, using players not up to speed, and causing undue anxiety for fans. I just want to watch the best chance of watching a good game, regardless of the consequences. I want us to have the best chance of being in the next round. | | | |

I tend to agree. But listening to the Interview with East and Gilmore, they talk about the FA Cup giving chances to players that aren't playing. That may not mean wholesale changes - obviously with two players on International duty there has to be some. But I suspect we will see 4 or 5 changes. I wonder whether the Ogdens have been clear on the need for a cup run to pay towards the pitch rebuild or not. Afterall we can't expect an open cheque book.
Just hoping for a decent game [Post edited 11 Oct 13:24]

Listening to commentary on BBC radio York.
Sounds like strongest available team. Familiar from the commentators - "Rochdale seem reluctant to shoot, they get 20 yards and seem to want to walk the ball in - have a punt" | |

Its cagey. We a playing against a good team and are lucky not to be behind
A good save by Smith saved Beckwith. We haven't really created anything. Looks like one goal could decide it. |  | | |

It’s not walking football far from it…
East our best chance from our only meaningful shot.
2 defensive mistakes led to two good York chances (one was a sitter 1v1) thankfully they missed both.
Need to shoot more we need any goal not THE perfect goal. | | | |

Just listening to radio york. The two guys commentating are constantly expressing suprise at our tactics. we are offering nothing except a slow almost walking football performance. THey are asking the question how are we top of the league with football like this. 5 men accross the back even when they have the ball just outside their box. Our manager needs to give his head a wobble. Or is he not bothered about the cup. ?????? | | | |

Strange game. Firstly, York will be a real threat for top spot. Quality players and a system they seem very comfortable with.
We probably got it wrong, then spectacularly right then wrong again. Not sure why we didn’t make a couple more changes from the start and York appeared to be fine with a slow stalemate. The subs after their goal though offered a real glimpse of tactical ability as we went two up front, two behind and only Gilmour in midfield and York were totally baffled. The impetus was lost by then subbing Mani. Keeper error and were then out of the cup.
Oh and those Radio York commentators must have issues watching games with some sort of impartiality. Their side were equally if not more slow than Dale for a lot of the game. Their keeper set records for standing with the ball. | |

Why did we defend set pieces so deeply and leave Newby and others free to take a shot from a weak header out....twice. Anyway it's over. Not a great watch apart from about 15 minutes in the second half. York very organised but completely boring to watch. | | | |

Not leaving a man outside the box not only ensures that shot is challenged, but makes the opposition change themselves. Lessons not learnt there. | |

To be fair we have been doing that all season...Jim will argue that Man City do that too so there is nothing wrong with it. | | | |

They're not employed to entertain the opponents' fans - in the end they did a job on us in terms of formation, frustration and energy. Never seen Newby as a wing back but he did a superb job defensively, limiting our usually dominant right side as well as scoring their goals. More worrying is that our problems were evident from ko but nothing was done about it until after we went behind. | |

If that's what York do regularly, good luck to them but I wouldnt pay to watch. Aided and abetted by a very poor referee and linesmen, the play-acting as though shot was pathetic... having said that Rochdale were utterly clueless for 45 minutes not knowing when to press and when to stand off them and then having had a half time to regroup, allowing Newby space to do what he is relatively good at .. shooting from 20 yards.. twice! You might have thought they would have learned a lesson after the first one.... but alas no..
The changes after the regulation 70 minutes were too little too late. I'm not sure what " moments" Jim will pick out, unless he won the half time draw, it was at times ponderous, occasionally it was comical and generally reminded me of the joke about the bloke who worked at the sewage farm but didnt really enjoy his job and was just going through the motions...I dont think anyone had a bad game but too many were not at their best and it felt like they didnt fancy a cup run...so job done....there will need to be a serious improvement if we are to remain contenders for the main prize |  | | |

A worldy of a goal and a keepers error won it. To be fair York were the better team and made the clear cut chances. We created very little. Not a bad performance though but after equalising we dropped the momentum instead of keeping up the intensity. Route one seemed to unsettle them, we couldnt play through them.

Today for me was seeing how we faired against the team i had/have down as the one to be above to win the title. They hammered us 0-4 last season and were good for that win.
Today first half was a stalemate, two teams playing the same possession based way, York slighlty edging it. Loan keeper made 2 great saves in first half.
Second half and pretty much the same until the first goal.From that point we went on the front foot and had them back-peddling, with a deserved equaliser.The first batch of subs had brought energy up front and game on.
The second batch of subs however for me destabilised us and put York back on top. Gilmour on his own in CM was getting swamped, Smith/Mancini not sure who was playing where, but that flank was weakened and York attacked down it again and again, leading to the corner and eventually a second goal.
Overall we were much closer to York than last season and overall coped well with them, aside from the obvious scenarios. EELs v Pearce a good competition.
Lessons on corners to be learned. |  |
