We huffed and we puffed, just didn't look like it was going to happen.
Couldn't of faulted the effort tonight, just for 91 minutes we simply did not look good enough. Always looked likely they may do us on the counter and if they had an ounce of thought of getting anything other than a draw, i felt they would of done us. Their content attitude left them there for the taking.
Kish done well, but Hughes was the big improvement for me. Slated him in the past but happy to give praise where praise is due. Worked hard all night. Reid is so influential to our set up, probably too influential to be honest. But kept plugging away and was our only source of a through ball.
Sam played between Bent and the midfield. Tried hard but looked a bit 'rabbit in the headlights'. Worthy of his chance, but is going to have to toughen up as he got knocked over far too easily. Just seen the pen appeal again and it was a definate pen. Benty just simply isn't the Benty of last season at the mo. Don't know if he was carrying a knock, but looks so short of confidence.
Overall, we deserved the win. Players gave their all which is all you can ask. The celebration was like nothing i've seen since Robbo equalised against Man Yoo !!
Not dead yet.

never before have i looped quite like that, it seemed to go on for ages, dont even no what to type
P/s. Showed The Colin Walsh Goal,Portsmouth Game And Asked Me If He Was Playing, Happy Days!
on the subject of herman, i reckon he's had about 5 decent chances to score this season and fluffed the lot of 'em, tonights free header another prime example. come on herm, we need you to start burying a few of those son!!!
lloyd sam a positive for me tonight, worked hard, got bustled off the ball a couple of times but a few nice touches and passed the ball well. he will come on for that game.
no wide players tonight, placed a heavy reliance on reid to create in the middle. a bit concerned that oppo managers will try and block him out the game if we play that 4-3-1-2 formation and then we'll struggle to have an outlet.
great celebrations for the goal, especially curb it almost wetting herself.
boys and girls, who's bottom of the league - it aint us!!!!
WE ARE STAYING UP!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable!!!
Well done Les for bringing Kish in and have they been feeding Hughsie raw meat during his absence? A couple of crunching tackles from him tonight I never knew he had it in him!
Just hope Traore is ok as I definitely prefer him to Hermann at left back.
WE ARE STAYING UP SAY WE ARE STAYING UP!!!!
Hopefully not too serious though.
Len, i bet you felt like a parent at graduation day seeing Kish running around !!
Sam looked up for it a little bit lightweight but no more so than Rommedahl. The oppo are not going to know that much about him so that might work to our advantage.
I thought we were looking excellent till Traore went off. They came into it a bit more after that but we deserved it tonight.
I had something in my eye at the end.
I couldn't believe some of the passes that Kish was spraying around and he almost played Darren in with a couple of absolute beauties.
Well played boys... just need to keep that attitude going now.
Major team effort tonight- credit to Reed for taking the decision to make those changes- Sam was excellent until he went off-
Thought there was fire in our bellies tonight - keep it there and no reason why we won't comfortably stay up!
A very good day!
And what a match for Lloyd Sam. Well done lads.
I got hugged by a young chap sat next to me too, we were all going bonkers!!!!! Then he declares at the very end I'm not coming again for the rest of the season so good luck..................I was like ' no!!!!!!!!!' if we don't win again I'll move heaven & earth to find you fella!!!!!!
Now that really ddi feel like winning the FA Cup!
You must've been gutted that you missed the goal as well! Still, at least you were probably tucked up in bed with a nice cup of Horlicks by 10.30 ;O)
Yep...The whole row leave en masse at the ninety minute mark
