Did anyone else pick up on Distin throwing his shirt to Speedo Mick but another lad grabbed it at the end?

F'in phew,

Robles a hero, Dan Gosling a close second, the muppet!

Great support, well done to the travelling blues!!!

 

[The Equaliser]

Much more watchable 2nd half - not difficult like.

Good to be in the hat for the QF draw but that was turgid viewing mostly.

Barkley the one bright spark - MOM for me. Good performance from Jags as well.

We might not have played at our best but you can't ask for much more than 2 goals, a clean sheet, and an away win that puts you in the next round.

I'm very happy with that.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

0-2 away from home playing not that well, what's not to like about that.

Long time now before we can get back to fuming

Rom MOM is laughable. He wasn't in the top 10.

Jags, Joel and Barkley were our 3 best.

 

[Anna]

Also, i'd much rather an away draw next round (preferably Shrewsbury away )

 

[daz4matty]

Glad we won.
They played a lot of reserves so not getting carried away.
We were a lot better at the back and i thought jags was our best player.
Special mention to joel great pen save

 

[BernieWright13]

Papering over the cracks this

For sure.
Martinez apologists will be pointing to a phenomenal "double" achievemt of one semi one Quarter final in same season "heralding brave new era" etc etczzzz

 

[rascal]

Hope for a home tie against Shrewsbury now

Yep. Me and the hubby thought they were both snide when it was clearly directed to Mick

 

[AlE]

Not really relevant but Martin Keown is an idiot

 

[paulbefc]

Routine, that.

Well played, all.

Onwards and upwards.

 

[BernieWright13]

....game made for Jagielka, he's defended stoutly.

Certainly carrying some timber

 

[Jreverton1]

Funny

Very very poor in many aspects and lots to work on, but ultimately a much better overall showing than last time down there. Need much more from Lukaku all round, but again he's a goalscorer and popped up at an important time.

Very good game from Joel, his position should be in no doubt whatsoever now. We can play a heck of a lot better than that, and will need to going forward, but job done and that is all that matters in knock out football.

The way I look at it is we didn't play as well as we can BUT 1) Did we win...Yes 2) Did we deserve to win...Defo

Now it seems a problem to win no matter how. I thought ugly wins were wanted by some? We won and we deserved to win so what more can anyone ask.
