Nobody knows, and nobody can know, capiche?
2004 was similar. Lost a semi final to Bolton. Would’ve had Middlesbrough in the final.
it's embarrassing that the club are attempting to hold it back. the club are answerable to several public bodies on attendances, all of which are subject to the freedom of information act, so it will come out at some point.

Scored with virtually every attack in their home leg and clung on desperately in the 2nd leg. Kevin Davies kept backing into our defenders and falling over and the referee kept falling for it.

Got back into it (with a blatantly offside goal pre VAR) then Okocha scores two screamers and we were done for. Gavin McCann getting sent off in the second leg didn't help either.

Think Jlloyd scored late in the 2nd Leg, to make it 5-4 on aggregate.
Not sure about Nicky Hunt's involvement but sounds plausible
