P. The win, Perri and good penalties

N. Having to play extra time with first teamers putting in roughly 50 minutes each overall.

As long as there are no injuries it is probably a good thing to keep up the fitness levels without the full 90. One or two of the starters though will likely be a bit tired though but a few days to recover.

Okafor looked like he was in some discomfort, hamstring?

Pos: we robbed a win, usually that happens to us
Neg: our second string isn't strong enough, more Champo than Prem

Positive - Into the 5th round, Perri made some important saves.
Neg - We made hard work of it, Birmingham didn't deserve to lose the game really. Using first team players to get through against
a Championship side

+ We are officially on a cup run and Nmecha's scoring record against minutes played.

- Needed our second string keeper to step up to get us through

Pos. Hopefully that is the last time we change so much at once. DCL back. Nmecha scores and Okafor assists.
Neg. Our wing play was poor, especially when we had a target man to lead the line.

Positive: A competitive game, good for some of the squad players.
Negative: Premier League survival must come first. We don't want injuries to our key players, just for the sake of a cup competition that we are very unlikely to win.

P. Perri's much improved performance and four good penalties.

N: A very poor performance against a mid-table Championship team. Buonanotte - OMG he was dreadful.
