Aaaand breath. Hope we don't make it as hard on ourselves in the next round. Mind, playing teams that park the bus is always our achilles heel so no surprose Crewe made it hard for us today.

Phew got the vital goal and then the floodgates opened. Shame to use so many first teamers, but hopefully means they have got match sharpness.

Comfortable result sounds like their keeper had a busy night. Unlucky for the youngsters not to get a game but right decision for me to get more competitive action for the first team they haven’t looked their best yet and this will surely help sharpen them up. Good to see llorente back aswell and as much as I dont really rate him Forshaw could do a job for us if we get injuries.

Got there in the end, Paddy made the difference it seems (although missed 2 or 3 chances of his own according to Phil).

None of the bit part players will have done their cases any good.


Also none of the u23s came on which again says a lot imo.

Can anyone who watched give us a summary?

The good, the bad etc?

Which players did well which didnt.
