Doncaster played very well. They started like a team who knew they had to win. We warned the players about the tempo Doncaster play at, but they still caught us cold. I thought they played the conditions better than us in the first half. |
If we had pulled it off it would have been the all-time Cup upset. The last thing I said to them before the game was to ruffle a few feathers and let Chelsea know they have been in a game. I think it was their intentions to keep those lads rested for Wednesday. The fact that they brought them on indicated how well we had done. |
We have been pretty lucky with the injuries. Apart from Marino Keith and Stephen Hunt, who have been out long-term, we've done okay so far. |
We wouldn't have enjoyed it if we hadn't given a good account of ourselves and we did that. If we'd pulled it off, it would have been the all-time up upset. |
We've been waiting three years to pull out a good draw and Everton or Chelsea will be fantastic. Off the pitch it means about a million pounds for us. On the pitch it's a great opportunity for my young players to test themselves against Premiership opposition. |
We've overachieved simply by staying in this division. We budget to go out in the first round and now we're in the fifth round. |
