Gutted as it seemed like we were going to hold on for a replay. However we only narrowly lost to a premiership side and the players can hold their heads up high after battling well. Getting a positive result at Cardiff next weekend will be much more important. -2

An even match that could have gone either way - we were in no way embarassed and with so many changes. Indeed we should have been two up at half-time - Chopra, Martin and Murphy should all have done better with their chances. And Given made a great save from McClane near the end. Hewitt did really well for a full debut, Loach made some good saves and all three new loan players looked good. Real competition for places up front now, though I think Henderson, Orr, Chambers, Ndaw and Edwards will all be back in next week. Onwards and upwards!
