Bristol City 2 - Doncaster 0:
 Emmanuel-Thomas fires Robins through
 
 STEVE COTTERILL has a three-word answer to anybody worried about fixture pile-ups: Bring it on.
 
 
 The Bristol City boss picked his strongest side to chase a glamour fourth round tie and was rewarded when Jay Emmanuel-Thomas headed them in front.
 
 The former Arsenal starlet scrambled a 36th-minute close-range header past Marko Marosi who was making his full debut in the Doncaster goal.
 
 Centre-half Aden Flint was left unmarked to meet a corner with a firm header and, although Slovakian Marosi got a hand to it, the ball bounced in the six-yard box for Emmanuel-Thomas to open the scoring.
 
 And the same man sealed the Robins’ place in last 32 when he scored on the break 11 minutes from time after running clear from the halfway line.
 
 Cotterill’s biggest job is to put the West Country club back in the Championship but, as well as the FA Cup glitz, he is also closing in on Wembley in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy with a semi-final against Coventry looming.
 
 The former Burnley boss has told his squad he wants them to win every game and this was their 33rd of the campaign.
