    Was perfect to go through on a late goal. Penalties would have been torturous.
    I was more happy that its my sons first day back at school tomorrow and I didn’t want him having too late a night by the time he gets home!

    Oh man, was hoping to win the southern final, pah, this national stuff will never catch on 
  • I'd defo go to Wembley if we got there! Bit of a shit tournament but Wembley is Wembley! 
    Precisely. As would everyone else (OK maybe 99%) of those who say they wouldn't. 
    I'll save my money for the Play-Off Final a few months later B)
    I'm saving my money for the FA Cup Final

    All those who are making fun and demeaning the game/progression and cup....

    You're actually just disrespecting JJ and the playing squad including several youth players, who have a professional duty to put 100pc into each game.

    Youngsters all stepped up tonight. As I said earlier I'm not too proud to say I would love us to win this and really dont understand people that say they dont care. A trip to Wembley is always a good day and to infrequent for us to miss as supporters imo
    When you get this far, I really want us to go all the way. Won't be making the playoffs so may as well aim to win something, plus its good experience for the youngsters

    Burstow is absolutely mustard. Really excited about him.

    I saw that Live Score flashed on my phone the second that we started singing the happy birthday song to my uncle. I knew how late it was and that it would almost certainly be the winning goal, but couldn't stop to check. It seemed like a age, not knowing.

    I agree.

    Yet we've also heard players on commentary in the past making comments themselves which show how much they respect this competition. 

    Think it was Konsa who missed a penalty at Colchester a few years ago, which saw us exit the comment - the player on commentary at the time came out with: "He's done everyone a favour doing that"

    It's like the League/EFL Cup though, in which nobody cares if they get knocked out in August or September, but where the games do become more important as you get near the final.

    I believe a key factor ...... Jacko wanting to play and win these games.

    Burstow showed tonight that he's not just a finisher.

    I don’t think Kirk showed anything tonight that gives me a glimmer of hope that he will come good. But fingers crossed that he will do. The team played okay but it was also against a changed MKD team that seemed to play a better structured football. It was just they couldn’t convert.

    Yeah I'm not a fan of that approach... Either take it seriously from the very beginning or not at all - Its a great competition as we're seeing to bed in some kids, but I honestly dont think Jackson would really care if we lost tonight.

    If he did I dont feel we'd be seeing Williams or Ness on as substitues - But we'd be seeing the likes of Pearce or Washington instead.

    Great win and experience for the group of youngsters and some important minutes for the senior pros that have returned from injury. That will all add to building a strong playing squad. Wembley bells in the distance

    Had a laugh tonight. Decent result considering we started very slow, Watson was even slow at this level. Great to see youngsters getting good game time.

    Shame to see Innis pull up again although he did look like he was blowing.

    Soure jeez was throwing his head and feet in places that shouldn't be

    Agreed 100%. He's the first manager for years who has taken the cups seriously. Bowyer's attitude towards the cups was a disgrace and much as I love Curbs and Powell theirs wasn't much better.

    I've long argued on here we should take the cups seriously - our record in all tournaments over the last 50 years is an absolute disgrace for a team of our size.

    It was interesting that we packed our bench with kids, whereas MKD had more quality on their bench, but didn't use it!

    Ness and Williams both showed some good stuff when they came on.We had 6 youth teamers on the pitch by the time we won the game. Best I have seen Henry play outside of youth football. Its a great competition to be in to blood the youngsters.

    43: Boateng, with barely any contact on his man, is penalised for a push. He kicks the ball away in frustration and is booked.
    It should happen more often then it might get eradicated from the game.

    What’s happened to Charlie barker - seems to have gone well out of favour since his cameos under bowyer
