Glad we are still in the hat.  Need a striker badly.

Didn't want another midweek but after that first half I'm happy enough.
Much better secondv half and could've pinched it
We'll do 'em at home.

Diaby is really starting to irritate me. Doesn't have a clue how to be an effective piece in this XI.

Ollie was inexplicably anonymous for the better part of 88 minutes and seems to just stand between the two opposing CBs. The late pass from McGinn into space on the edge of the box is something we should be doing regularly.

I thought Kamara broke up play really well today, and Moreno/Cash were good defensively on the outsides.

We can smash these at home in the replay. Hard to believe they had three 100m players out there.

No nil nils in over a season and two come along in consecutive games. We looked a bit lethargic in the first half but better in the second. Lenglet worries me when he's pressed quickly.

At least we are in the draw for the 5th round!

That was a great game of football.
We really bossed second half
Martinez magnificent.
Pau needs to come back soon, cause leg let is the weak link

At least in the last 15/20 we found some rhythm again and looked much the better side. We need to carry that forward - cut out the sloppy passes, and find our goal scoring touch again.

We created a lot of great chances in that match - for Chelsea. Luckily they had Coleton Palmer and Madueke up front.

Actually second half we weren't too bad, but still looking like we just don't have that spark at the moment up front. The patterns and structure don't seem to be there at the moment, everything seems a bit haphazard.

Last 15/20 we were good and had some rhythm - need to carry that forward.

We looked very rusty/sloppy at times. Gave the ball away far too much. But live to fight another day!
