I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I remember those days when Danny Whittaker was near top of my list of players I wanted us to sign as well. It was during his Oldham days.
Macclesfield all over Oxford so far. I like watching cup ties like this.

Has any Albion or ex-Albion player ever looked as hipster as Holroyd does tonight?

Look at Holroyd's hair, though.

I also enjoy watching FA Cup matches like this. Says a lot about the competition that there is no chance at all that I will watch Chelsea v Southampton in the Quarter Final (or beyond).

Danny Whittaker still looks a handy box to box midfielder. Tiring towards the end of the game but then he is 36 now I see.
I suppose we had Crofts so perhaps never considered Whittaker, but I would have enjoyed watching him play for us I think.

I can still remember FA Cup finals from long periods of my youth. Nowadays I can barely remember who was in last years final, and certainly can't remember who was in the final two years ago.
The competition has felt devalued for quite a few years now. The nation certainly doesn't seem to bother to sit down and watch FA Cup Final day now like they used to either.

C'mon the Albion!
Macclesfield definitely had the chances to win it!
Holroyd seemed to get himself into positions way too far forward at times, and looked isolated on his own as well. They need a bigger striker to knock balls down to him to feed off.

I always preferred his twin brother Roger. He was a great whistler.
