    Didn’t exactly want that extra fixture tbh but the unbeaten run continues I guess.

    Was really disappointed with how Martin set us up at the start of the game, I felt that Watford were there for the taking and had we started a stronger side we'd have won pretty easily. Instead we're left with an extra game we don't need.

    Also I cannot think of a more embarrassing away end in years, 4k saints fans there and the percentage of mouth breathing yokels was through the roof. People must look at our away support these days and openly laugh at them, because i know i would.

    Good debut from Torp and a cracking goal. He still has a long way to go but a great start.

    I'm sick of playing Sheffield Wednesday now. :laugh: 4th time in a little over a month. We put out a stronger side against Oxford than we did SW, which is a bit odd. I think we'll have enough back at the Ricoh.

    I'm happy with the draw, you want either a winnable game or a glamour tie. We won't underestimate Maidstone and hopefully they won't get that amount of luck again!
    Then hoping for Villa at home in the QF :funslap

    Christ what a player that Summerville is for Leeds. If they don't go up they won't be able to hold onto him for long. One of the best Championship players I've ever seen personally. Must admit Leeds look every inch a Premier League team, playing some really good football at times fair play.

    Well that was a bit pointless for us.

    Southampton will give Liverpool more of a game..

    I've been much more impressed by Rutter personally.

    He's class in flashes but can be a bit soft physically. Summerville is absolutely brilliant, Gnonto's getting back to his best too.

    Having between Summerville, James, Anthony and Gnonto to choose from is an embarrassment of riches.

    Yeah as soon as Summerville came on the game was gone for Plymouth. He was the difference for me last night, if he'd started I don't think there would have been any need for extra time for me personally.

    Rutters a cracking player as well don't get me wrong, but he doesn't have that ability to turn a game on its head the way Summerville does. Soon as he came on it was wave after wave of Leeds attacks, he tires teams out with his direct running and skill. What I like about him the most is he's got the pace to get back and help out the defence.

    It should be a retrospective ban coming up for this, he wasn't even booked. It broke Allens cheekbone, 100% deliberate.

    Just going off our games really, I don't think Summerville caused Potts too many problems in either game against us.

    Not sure who’s being biased here, You, me or both of us, but from that clip, I’m not sure how you’d judge that as “100% Deliberate”

    I’m pretty sure Robins as got previous this season for accusing teams of roughing up his team.
    I did like him as a manager but he seems to have become a one eyed, sour faced moaner this Season.
    Shame because you have a decent team, no need for the saltiness.

    Probably both of us.

    The ball was gone, he wasn't running a full pace. He had more than enough time to pull away, instead he followed through looking to leave something on him which went wrong.

    I don't believe he wanted to seriously hurt him but he has. It wasn't an accident from a tackle that went wrong, I think MR has every right to be aggrieved.

    Tbf I think that's blatantly deliberate. Can't be a retrospective ban though as ref saw it.

    As for us, really good performance over 120 minutes, should've won it really. Shame to lose on pens but there we go.
