Nat Jarvis just put the ball in to the net.....linesman give it offside. Within 1 minute.

Nice to see such a strong side out

Velikonja looking lively.

Leicester v Burton worth looking out as Leicester are the team we would be playing in the league if we dont get through today. However Leicester are one up already so it look likes that game will need to be re-arranged.

Declan John looks very positive in the game so far.

can see why malky says velkonjia needs be more physical hes looking lively but bullied of the ball abit aswell

John our best player so far, Kiss way off the pace.

Inexperience really showing. Harris doing well. Oshilaja looking a little bit shakey, although he did just put a good challenge in. Some of these players will probably go quite far in football

McNaughtons having a stinker

Very weak, look how easy he gets knocked off the ball

McNaughtons having a stinker

I agree, he should be leading this team showing them what to do. He needs to step it up

kiss looking a shadow of himself last season, velikonja looks lively but decision making is a bit poor and gettin bullied, harris looking good in patches, john n nugent are playing well, all just need to relax and keep the ball and dw about the physical side of maccasfeild

Is it me or is thr feed part of cities tv deal? As commentators sound like city men in way they refer to us! Great feed linked to tv from pc

Not having much help from Harris through

Thats true.

Impressed by Harris - confidence showing, accompanied by some nice passing.

Velikonja looking positive. McNaughton not doing too well.

i have to keep reminding myself this is not the first team. id be fuming if it was

they look inexperienced and that's because they are lol

Its game likes this that the squad players need to make a statement.

We need to see more from Ralls and Harris. They look the most lively and look like they could open it up. I wish we had Mason on the bench, Jarvis has done bugger all and Velikonja needs some real support. What striker do we have on the bench? Out of all those I don't think any of them are strikers

Feck me. Painful to watch.

Kiss keeps giving the ball away and cannot find his own player.
Kev back to silly errors and just resorts to booting it out.
McPhail has not learnt anything other than 360 degree pirouettes and sideways passes.
Harris incredibly weak on the ball.
Velikonja, in fairness no service to him yet, but also very weak on the ball. I've always questioned Malky's decision not to at least give him a chance. I will question him no more (although whoever paid that amount of money for him does really need shooting).

The rest a complete non entity.

Only player who looks useful has been Declan John.
The lack of efforts on goal against a non league Conference side is terrible. "Development XI" or not.

I fully agree that Harris is 'weak' yet others are saying that he looks like the one who can 'open them up'..? I'm we watching the same game..?

Unfortunately can't disagree with any of that - Malky sort them out, you can see we have the better quality just no spark. Ralls looks the best player out their in Black

comeon etien prove your worth in this half!

Stand out players for me have been Joe Ralls and Declan John.

Mcphail has done well, keeping everything simple........bit disappointed with Kiss, not the same as last season, no rash tackles from him.....like to see him get stuck in more.

Harris looks lively and there's always the thought he could do something a with the ball.
Trouble is, at the moment his decision making has been poor and he's losing the ball.
Perhaps after waiting for so long to impress, he's rushing and trying too hard.

I keep telling myself that Malky has told them to "win ugly".
City to scrape a 1-0 win in the 86th minute and "hold on".

He looks poor to me, remember he has been injured for quite a while

The sooner we get Sordell in the better.

He looks poor to me too, when he runs with the ball he doesn't seem to be in control of it

1-0 Jarvis. Wembley here we come

1-0 Nat Jarvis
