Tigers sink Fleetwood Cup Hopes

Lets cut to the chase, the Tigers were Mauled by Fleetwood last time out and the FA Cup draw provided a platform to set things straight.

Some may see this encounter differently and if the press are to be believed, the pivotal moments centred not on the ball being in the back of the net but in player injury. Yes, the loss of key players early in a game unsettles a team, but City were in an attacking mood and this was a very different game to the last one. We pressed, we passed and we played in every area of the KCOM pitch. The performance was a great team effort and it is hard to award a Man of The Match.

City scored the first goal (31mins) from a cross into the box by Emmanuel, Wilks flicked the ball to Magennis, who's right footed shot went into the top corner.
The Tigers second was a first goal in City colours for Burke, who got his head to a cross from Elder on 63 minutes.

Man of The Match - Honeyman, it could have been any player, but in my opinion, his work rate made the difference in Mid Field.
