Was always going to be a difficult night but I thought in the first half we showed them a bit too much respect and didn’t put enough pressure on the ball. Rooney isn’t the same player these days but he’s still more than good enough to split a League Two team open if given ample time and space. Duane Holmes also constantly caused us problems and I don’t think we ever really got to grips with how best to deal with him.
Having said that I thought second half we showed a lot of fight and did well to score a very good goal right after the break. Had we kept it at 2-1 for a while, who knows what might have happened. However even at 4-1 down we still fought hard and ultimately the lads should be very proud of this cup run. When the season starts most fans only care about promotion (and rightly so in my opinion) and a good cup run is seen as a bonus. We dispatched the non-league sides with ease (which we haven’t done on several occasions in the past) and the lads also gave us that amazing day out at Burton. Credit to KC and the players and my hope is that whilst we were knocked out, only losing 4-2 over 180 minutes against a side two divisions above will give the players lots of confidence and belief in what should be an exciting end to the season.
