    We were exceptional tonight. As good a team performance as I can remember. Wright and, especially, Ainsworth roasted their full backs. Morgan and Collins were relentless, Sharps and Hazell solid, Regan and Sherriff (who's started the season in great form at left back) worked well with their wingers, Smith made 1 or 2 great saves and, perhaps most pleasing of all, Wroe and Richards were tireless in the middle and showed real quality on the ball. Time and again we passed it through them. Could we be on the way to cracking the midfield conundrum that's held us back for so long?

    We had two good penalty appeals turned down - apparently the linesman flagged for a penalty on the first handball at 0-1, but we know all about refs and linos don't we? On the second, Collins did all the hard work beating defenders, set himself to shoot and promptly went down. Not the moment you'd choose for simulation. If he dived, why no booking? Or did the ref think it was a clean tackle? Like to see replays of both decisions.

    Wonderful night - outstanding performance, fabulous support from 800-1,000 Salop fans and a 2-3 goal margin wouldn't have flattered us at all. Floreat Salopia - it bloomin' well is!

    I take it you went Shrewd? It sounded great on the radio. Looks like the whole team played well, shame that they did the classic at the start of the second half by being sleepy as the whistle went to begin play.

    Sounded like a first class Town performance on the radio.

    :D
    No, we just know how to get the best out of players. Speaking of reserves, how's Matt Harrold getting on (and how many free kicks has he conceded)?

    I was there Matster & loved every minute. Missed our 3rd goal though as I was still texting my brother (with the Derby fans) after the 2nd!

    best part about last night for me is the way Ainsworth plays he was awesome, and thats also the best ive seen Marvin play too, again we had a good lead but started to fold again, and it now gives Derby the chance of running off with the spoils in the second leg, but more importantly we have two hard away games coming up and cant afford that slack defending we witnessed in the second half, but a much improved performance all round

    There are no 2nd legs, just the 2nd round.

    Let's see how it pans out with the free kicks to goals ratio.

    Nothing against Matt Harrold, who I wish well (even at Gas!), but I think MMM might be the better bet for us.

    I liked Harrold, but for all his effort he'll not get more than 12-15 goals in a season.

    In a quality side likes ours? He will get 15-20 easy ;)

    All we really require from Harrold is holding the ball up, and laying it on for our other strikers to put it away

    let us see how the gas get on against watford. oh dear how sad never mind. i suspect there may be an away goal fest at the gas on 13.9.11. after all town were 3-0 up away to a championship team derby currently filling a promo place to the premiership.
    as for our journey to wembley i am slightly concerned about man u, man city, chelsea and liverpool, but the rest are pushovers. floreat salopia mes amis. time for the gas to blow off
