RE: Brighouse to Wembley - St Charles Owl - 07-12-2014
Unlucky for Telford, I thought they were going to get the draw and a replay!! So its now onto Bristol City as the focus and with their form so far this season they could pull off a shock or two with the right draw!!

Good result Spireite @ franchise Dons. Only you lot would have bet on that before kick off. Would you like another goal fest of a match against us or an away day at some minor league club like Villa or Wendies in t'third round?

It would be nice to get a big team like City, United, Liverpool, Arsenal etc but Huddersfield would be an interesting game. Derby or Sheffield United would be another interesting game but knowing our luck we will get drawn to someone like Bristol City or Colchester.

Brizzle get a very unattractive away day at Doncaster in the 3rd round!! Probably a winnable game for them, so maybe progression to the next round and a big game then could still work!!

2nd round: Bristol City 1-0 AFC Telford
The road to Wembley from Brighouse snakes it's way back into Yorkshire as it stops off at The Keepmoat Stadium for the visit to Doncaster of Bristol City. The Robins left it very late in the last round to beat AFC Telford as the tie looked to be heading for a replay, Kieran Agard popped up with the winner in added time. Rovers also left it late, with a Genseric Kusunga own goal in the 86th minute at Oldham giving them a 1-0 win.
Doncaster have fitness doubts over Richie Wellens, Kyle Bennett and Nathan Tyson.
City are hoping to get permission to play Fulham's on loan striker, Matt Smith. They have received permission from Chelsea to play Todd Kane. Kieran Agard and Aaron Wilbraham could miss out through injury.
This is the third FA Cup meeting of Doncaster Rovers and Bristol City. The other two times were both won by City, in 1959 and 1964.

From the BBC website:
Doncaster 1-1 Bristol City
Matt Smith's second-half header earned Bristol City an FA Cup third-round replay against Doncaster Rovers.
The on-loan striker guided Luke Ayling's cross past goalkeeper Sam Johnstone with 15 minutes remaining.
Luke McCullough had put Doncaster ahead before the break, hooking the ball in off the post after City failed to clear Harry Forrester's corner.
Kyle Bennett came closest to winning the match for the hosts, forcing Frank Fielding into a smart save.
The Doncaster substitute had an even better chance to score from inside the penalty area in injury time but shot well wide of the goal, and the teams will now contest a replay at Ashton Gate.

The winners of the replay will be at home to Everton or West Ham.

Bristol City midfielder Bobby Reid, a late substitute at the weekend, looks set to feature. Fulham loanee Matt Smith is likely to line up alongside Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in attack once more.
Goalkeeper Marko Marosi will make only his second appearance for Doncaster. Midfielder Dean Furman is away with South Africa for the Africa Cup of Nations while experienced centre-back Rob Jones (knee) is still injured.

Ht 1-0 to Bristol City
FT Bristol City 2-0 Doncaster Rovers
BBC Report: Jay Emmanuel-Thomas struck twice to secure League One promotion chasers Bristol City an FA Cup fourth-round home tie against West Ham or Everton.
The forward nodded in the first-half opener from close range after keeper Marko Marosi denied Aden Flint.
James Coppinger's shot was cleared off the line for Doncaster, who pushed hard after the interval.
But Emmanuel-Thomas ran half the length of the pitch to score a second on the break with a cool finish.
Bristol City, knocked off the top of League One by Swindon's victory at Coventry on Monday, deserved their victory despite Doncaster's second-half efforts.
On-loan Fulham forward Matt Smith - who went into the game on a run of nine goals in five matches - nodded an early chance wide before Flint headed over when unmarked from Marlon Pack's corner.
Flint made amends by playing a part as Steve Cotterill's side took the lead, though, with a header that Marosi pushed out before Emmanuel-Thomas scrambled in the loose ball.
Slovakia Under-21 international Marosi - making his first senior start after Manchester United recalled Sam Johnstone to send him out on loan to Preston - then had a lucky escape when his clearance hit Smith's back, but the ball drifted wide.
Doncaster, mid-table in League One, threw on strikers Nathan Tyson and Theo Robinson in a bid to save the game, but Emmanuel-Thomas snuffed out any hopes of a comeback.
RE: Brighouse to Wembley - Lord Snooty - 13-01-2015
Could be Everton next then. They lead 2-1 at West Ham in extra time.
2-2 now. Penalty shoot out coming.
7-7 on pens atm.
West Ham win 9-8. it went down to the keepers.
So we have Bristol City v West Ham to follow in the next round.
