Just happy we got through. Seems like ages since we won a game in this cup?!

When is the draw, tonight or tomorrow?

Our last win was sha September 2015. Draw is tomorrow.

Ah forgot about that one. I thought Orient was the year before Luton.

It was okay. Just shows we really haven't got much of a squad once the 1st choices are out or indeed with them. A few injuries and we're in deep trouble in the league. End of the day its a win but on a list of priorities this comes way way down the pack. I don't want this cluttering up our fixtures and bringing injuries at the expense of the league so hopefully we can bow out soon to a half decent team and concentrate on the main prize.

It's not great when your keeper is MOTM against a crap division 4 side.

Should have made it easier for ourselves than we did and some brilliant keeping kept us in it but good to be in the next round.

Onomah should start Saturday, he looks composed on the ball and is a physical presence. A million miles ahead of Bacuna.
O'Hare played well and offered something different with a bit of flair and creativity. He should be on the bench at least Saturday.

Samba can't run.
Green was disappointing.
Hourihane barely touches the ball in open play and only looks dangerous when we have a set piece.
Bjarnasson is rubbish.

Made hard work of it but we won away on Sky!

Are people forgetting the team we put out tonight? Some stupid reactions on here.

Only saw last half hour but Hourihane only seemed bothered when he was running onto ball near their box. Looked tidy then mind but I'd be expecting a lot more when facing his back four. Still can't figure out why he is playing in right centre midfield again under Bruce, can anyone?

Good to see De Laet back involved. Good few kids got game time. Davis does give a physical presence up top. Onomoah certainly looks a talented kid.

Conditions were awful, but we do like to make it hard for ourselves, couldn't hold the ball upfront and midfield went awol in the second half. Well done Steer, good to be in the hat for the next round.
