I thought we had it sewn up when Welch headed in the second. But all credit to City; they kept battling and in the end it paid off. Their disallowed second-half 'equaliser' was a fiasco with some tune blasting out over the speakers and the players celebrating on one side of the pitch but the liner on the other side standing there with his flag in the air - you can imagine the stick he got from the Worcs fans after that. He redeemed himself late in the game by giving the free kick that led to City's third. Lots of work from Paul Mullin in defence in the second half with a good number of headed clearances from him.

Good luck to City in the next round and in the league. The team is far better than their league position might suggest and I'd expect a top half finish, if not better. Their fans deserve it.

I've seen that Worcester fans have been complaining about the lack of coverage from BBC H&W. I listened to it on the way down and afterwards and there was no mention of the match on the 6:30 sports news or the 10pm news afterwards. That's a total disgrace. Despite what some have said on here recently, we can think ourselves lucky to have BBC Lancs, even in post-Cottier days.
