Good luck in the next round , if anything I got prediction right 5 nil . As someone said earlier id be gutted but I'm not. I think individual errors cost us the 1st 3 goals but take them away the result was never in doubt .

Kelly did not do anything but apart from one forward pass, kept it going sideways and gottackled off the ball a few times for being too slow. laked forward vision or any real attempt to push forward. often had nowhere to go. Did he even get a tackle in? The game passes him by a lot. At times he is still lovely on the ball but offers the team nothing much I'm afraid. When eccles came on the ball started moving forward faster. Don't get me wrong, he did nothing really bad but there was nothing to his contribution apart from one long through ball.

He's a defensive midfielder. he's in there to win second balls, keep it simple, deny space, win tackles, and give protection allowing the other more attacking midfielders - Palmer, Torp, O'Hare license to get forward and be creative. He's played the same way the entire time hes been here.

Kelly/Torp was excellent pairing. Kelly always available, never gives it away cheaply.

Kelly sometimes takes a few games to get up to the speed of the game. Might be the same in the League games I suspect. He's still chronically underrated though. Always makes himself available for the ball.

Was great to see him smiling in his interview . We haven’t played to his strengths for most of the season , he is a natural 1-2 touch finisher when the ball is played in front of him . Hopefully see him smiling a lot more between now and the end of the season

He’s another player who will be at his best next season imo. Work in progress but he has great attributes.

Kelly is better in the role than Latibeaudiere , I know that for certain

Safe journey home to your players and fans and hopefully the cash earned by the run you can put to good use.

Clive Eakin sounded disappointed that Ellis Simms got given MOTM by ITV, he’s asking himself why Liam Kelly didn’t get it…..

Yeah, he had his moments but him and smelly should have been cutting through that and seemed to play everything sideways and backwards.

Kelly was alright. He's a serious drop off from some of our other midfielders but I'm taking him over Lati in there all day from what I've seen.

I hope not, I'd rather have a square peg playing as a right forward than go back to that.

We were 3 up after half an hour, they were just keeping the ball. As dull as it was you can probably understand it.

Very good finish for his first and great positional awareness for the 2nd from Fabio.

He doesn’t move like a wide forward, he has a striker’s instinct. That run for the first and the quick follow up to the rebound for the second were excellent. Well taken goals. ⚽️

Yeah we were in first gear from early on, but equally I can only judge what I see. Just want Sheaf back.

No need for it at 3-0 I suppose. Just keep the ball and keep it at a slow tempo to preserve fitness.

Is a shock Tavares looked better when he played in his actual position?

Yes it was very professional. Won easily while not having to exert ourselves too much. Robins got it right.

Was a bit like a pre-season friendly really, not sure how much we can take from any of it.

We take a Quarter Final place out of it

Also added confidence for Simms and Tavares.
