Far from convincing and rode our luck, but Wembley here we come.

Played badly and beat a lower league team. Well done Spudface.

Plenty of work to do.

Tough to write off the academy players who came in as no one played with any credit.

To be fair to Bruce good subs in bringing the quality on but another game where there is no defined way of playing.

Bruce looking Pep-like in his new black Luke attire.

That's the sort of result that makes rivals sit up and take notice.

Well played the Aston Invincibles.

It's not glorious at this point in the competition but if we can progress to a semi final place and then who knows, it will pay dividends in terms of form and a boost to our league season.

Still on 100%...

A win is a win but the kids are not yet alright and our second string seniors are not good enough.  We desperately need new players

I've learned to except that we will never play decent football under Bruce, we just grind down the other team into boredom.

At least three youngsters had some competitive football and axel looked solid at centre half.

That'll do pig.
Nice from Kodja for the goal, not much from the kids bar Green's great effort and god knows what to think of the keeper. Connor is always a puzzle, flatters to decieve but keeps popping up with important goals or contributions.
Anyway, three in a row and rolling, churlish to complain.

I can't remember Whelan's name being mentioned at all in the second half.

The only positive, Axel will be our CH from now on

It's certainly an upgrade on our usual "play badly and lose to a lower league team".

It feels like we've played well for 25 minutes  in total across three matches and won them all. It feels a bit O'Neill-like.

When whelan does pass forward it’s always behind the player he is aiming at so they have to stop.

Not impressed by the performance but nice to see Kodjia contributing and looking as though he’s improving. Tuanzebe and RDL looked okay too.
