    Hangover from hell 
    But as happy as can possibly be. 

    Same here, feel like shit.

    My lovely wife has gone out with my daughter and said she’ll get crusty bread and bacon and make sarnies for me when she gets back.

    Would be harsh to drop Dillon, IMO.

    Anybody know why the kicks were “on safety grounds” held in front of the Covered End ?

    Nothing is sacred once bacon sandwiches are in the mix.

    She’s more of a centre back but she makes a mean bacon sarnie

    Just woke up with a banging hangover.

    my god we were shit. Complete lack of movement, creativity and flair. If we play like that at Wembley we will get stuffed. Woeful performance.

    But. Fuck it. We’re going to wembleyyyyyyyyy

    Before I post a length post about last night has anyone noticed we only win penalty shootouts when it finishes 4-4

    Sunderland '98
    Luton in the League Cup (2003)
    And last night

    Dont remember us winning any other shootouts (i.e. West Brom in the FA Cup and Swindon in the Play-Offs in 2010)

    We didn’t win that though (according to Mourinho)

    This is why Reeves needs to be in the squad for Wembley, and Williams needs to start

    Relief is the main emotion i feel after last night. Whether it was the occasion, the big crowd or perhaps that Donny actually turned up last night, that was probably the worst we've played at home all season and we will certainly have to improve at Wembley. But no matter we made it in the end and perhaps we are destined to go up. As far as the Wembley team is concerned i'd be inclined to leave out Parker (who again contributed very little yesterday) start Williams (presuming Igor isn't fit), and get him and Aribo to support Taylor up front. But that's for another day, lets sell out our tickets, get behind the guys and give it everything next week. COYR!

    We need to play two up front at Wembley. Need to.

    I have so much respect for Chris Solly as well. Dropped from the team, misses out on the biggest game in years in a full Valley, has only been on the pitch for the back end of the game, has scored 3 goals in about 4 million games and steps up to take the first penalty with his chest out, sticks it away without any fuss and strolls back to his team. The way he approached the first penalty of the night was all about showing the rest of the players what they had to do and it worked. Goes to show what real captain material is, and it's a hell of a lot more than shouting a lot
    Perfect summary mate. Exactly this!

    Amazing atmosphere. Could have done without the smoke bombs. Thought it would be easy when we quickly scored. Puzzled by our cautious display. Wanted Williams on at 60 minutes! Numbed out when they took a 3-1 lead (on the night) but then their fans started singing, "Que sera, sera..." so my hope was restored and them Pratley scooped home and we scraped through on penalties. If we play like that at Wembley we will probably lose. Come on Igor, get fit!

    Just finished watching the game back and I don't think we played as bad as some are making out, Donny just played better on the night. Was actually a really good game of football to watch although had the result been the other way around my view would obviously be different!!! 

    Great night, great atmosphere, great team and work ethic, fingers crossed for a another great day at Wembley next week.

    COYR.

    Definitely, though we did last night. Williams took up Parker's position. He might drop deeper but then again so does Taylor.

    Well, that was interesting.

    Bielik couldn't find a pass, Sarr was shocking and Aribo well off his best. When Aribo plays well so does the team and vice versa.

    Credit to Donny who were brighter than us, Rowe exploited the space in midfield time and time again and Wilkes was a threat all game until subbed.

    People saying we were negative are missing the point that Donny forced us back, it wasn't a choice. Parker works hard but he doesn't offer an outlet in the way Grant and Igor did hence the ball constantly came back to them.  There was another team on the pitch trying to stop us and it almost worked.

    Pratley's experience was badly needed and only haters can't see how good he was.

    Philips made a lot of good saves and catches, Taylor never had a clear cut chance other than maybe the offside which I couldn't comment on.

    We should maybe have had three pens ( not seen them on TV) and when we did get around the back, which we did half a dozen times, we couldn't find the final touch until super Darren Pratley scored.

    To be fair to Sarr, after a very ropey game, he literally put his hand up to take a pen so credit him for that. It was a poor pen though.

    Philips saying "don't miss" to the Donny players was sledging of the highest order. He and Pratley MOTM.

    Point proved that crowds don't win games.

    Lots of stupid stuff in the JS from Donny fans but they backed their team more than in the first leg.

    Lots of stupid stuff from our fans throwing stuff at the gobby Rovers bench.

    We will need to be a great deal better in the final but we know we can be.

    On to Wembley

    Just had some time to reflect on yesterday’s. I’m so happy we made it through but looking back on the game we are so lucky ! We have the Doncaster goalkeeper to thank for our 2nd goal. Also the police advising the penalties where to be taken in front of the north stand. 

    Next week I wanna see us play our 442 diamond.  And just give it our best shot.  Sunderland are not great we have nothing to fear.

    The scenes at the end were a release of emotion to say we are not just train spotters and some small London club but we have potential to be a decent Championship club with regular crowds of 18k +

    I felt that was the audition to a prospective owner.
