Warsaw v The Gas FA cup .Official match day thread

[Gastafari]

That 2nd half was shocking.

Hey ho, into the hat for the 2nd Round.

Gas go marching on

[Hugh Jarsole]

No matter how many goals we might be up we can never sit back as though we've finished anybody off.
When we do this is what happens, always a poor second half, every time

[holywoodgas]

FT - We made that harder than it should have been!

[Russgas]

Well we made hard work of that but overall we deserved to win and in to the 2nd round we go.

[socrates]

Scrappy win but a wins a win and we’re in the second round 👍

[Gassy]

Love seeing Sinclair and Kilgour having a catch up there

[Gas Go Marching In]

For all that we looked like we dominated in the first half, we only had 2 shots on target the whole game and therein lies our problem for me, roll on round 2 though..

[badengas]

Never in doubt. No replays so we'll know who we get as soon as the draw is made on Monday.

Tale of two halves, first half performance was really good. Created chances, passed the ball well and looked strong in defence. Scored two well earned goals to give us a deserved lead. Hanlan, Koiki, Oztumer all impressed.

Second half it seemed to fall apart, we struggled to control the game or keep possession as we had in the first half. All the chances fell to Walsall, we made it hard for ourselves.

Anyway, into the hat for the second round so that’s a positive. Can never complain too much with an away win.

They had 15 shots to our 6, and 6 on target to our 2!
BG really needs to look at the stats and our second half performance(s)

Edit - ...and 10 corners to our 4

[pucklechurchgas]

Good win but still taking it easy after taking the lead every week. It’s costing us a lot of points in the league and nearly cost us again today. Overall good win though with Oztumer looking lively in the middle. UTG

I’m unbeaten 😉

Thank me later lads 😀

[legas]

Well, that was a game of two halves! Funniest moment - seeing Oztumer stood in a defensive wall.

That's a shocking result for a club like Sunderland,funny what sacking a manager can do.

[Raj Gas]

We deserved that win and Oztumer shows that experience counts in those situatons.

Our young team and especially those in midfield lack experience and leadership, especially once Upson went off because one to many tricks/flicks played us in to trouble.

I thought Hanlon played well but needed a strike partner to help out up front and with Oztumer behind them we would have much more options and would have finished the game off a lot quicker.

I think they (Sunderland) made a lot of changes and, probably, with the fixture density and their priority to get promotion this season, they won't be too upset

Yes and thankfully several of the top placed league 1 sides are out.

Having said that if we play like we did in the 2nd half we could get beaten by anyone.

Yes I hoped the formation tweak may help in that department but no joy. Players or managers instructions to blame for sitting back on a lead you reckon?
