Bristol City verdict: A case for the 4-3-3, more injury concerns and Rob Atkinson's character

If there's one thing most of us can agree on, it's that an FA Cup third-round replay is far from ideal.

The reward for progressing? A likely and uninspiring home tie with either West Bromwich Albion or Chesterfield if the National League side can pull off an upset at the Hawthorns.

It's not the draw City wanted but after that opening 45-minute display against Swansea, the Robins were on course to crash out of the cup at the first hurdle. It was a disastrous start when Rob Atkinson gifted the visitors the opener with a howler at the back.
