Keane did some good stuff and scored a great goal. Kenlock and Dozzell showed some glimpses of what they're capable of - although neither were under much pressure defensively so it was a lot easier for them to be forward-thinking today. Last but not least, Bishop played very well. He showed what we could do with a player who is willing to drive through the middle and he should have given Lambert a lot to think about as a challenger to Judge in the attacking midfield role. I'm not sure it told us much else that we didn't already know about the rest of the players. The usual collection of strengths and weaknesses on show. But dare I say it, we're getting closer to a first XI and now with nothing but the league to think about. And maybe that's the most positive thing we can say about today's defeat. | |

I don't care what anyone says about going to Wembley, blah, blah, blah. It is nothing more than a glorified reserve team competition for lower clubs and actual PL reserves. I'm not sure how high I could have had held my head up trying to claim winning this a club achievement. | |

Sure, but it was a second-string League One side away to a second-string League Two side. Not really sure why we are expected to be much better than them, although we were better despite losing. | |
