    It's only the JPT, but it would be great to get to Wembley again.

    We outplayed The Chairboys and won comfortably against a strong side.

    Hopefully we'll gets another home tie in the next round.

    Was it good? The stats look impressive and it's good to see our strikers score and the team keep a clean sheet.

    Was a very good game. We were by far the better team but Wycombe were not bad either and played their part too in all fairness. It wasnt 1 sided at all. Half time we could and maybe should have been 4 goals up if it wasnt for their keeper. Also Wycombe had a shot that hit the bar and the rebound shot was brilliantly saved by Nicholls. More than made up for his error at Morecambe. I thought though that Nicholls would have not been allowed to play by Wigan so presumed Mildenhall would have had a chance.

    It was 1 of the better games that I have seen and better performances from a Rovers side.

    What made it even more better was when the torrential rain started after we were 2-0 up. The Wycombe fans were getting soaked so they sang a song something like "bring on the lightening" <laugh>

    The lads seem to have clocked back into the winning mentality that they had last season. Long may it continue.

    Well we certainly don't draw games!

    I've just seen the goals - wow!

    Both beautifully taken by Matty and Jermaine. If they can carry on with that kind of finishing against one of the better teams in L2, we'll do ok.

    The first goal was a great team effort with The Chairboys chasing shadows and a fine strike from Taylor. The second goal was classy too.

    Not sure if that was Wycombe's best team or not. Hope it was <laugh>

    Easters goal, think the keeper should have done better to be honest.

    TV doesn't do justice to Taylor's goal. Standing on the East Terrace you could see him
    place and curl the ball into the top right hand corner. His touch and lay-offs throughout
    the match were excellent and he was my MoM.
