Nothing like 2 injury time consolations to make you forget how poor we were over 270 mins against them.

Fist 90 of the season against them agreed, and I wasn't there tonight, but we were not poor during the home leg. Chris Dunn was poor, granted, but if Murphy had stayed on I don't think we'd have lost-and we deserved to win.

I agree - they picked the right tactics and got the right results.

Could be good psychologically though...they might not be up for it the next few games rather than risk injury (he said clutching at straws) so they might lose a few besides this weekend...one less to worry about in the play-off/promotion contenders

If only we had a decent back up goalie or murphy didn't get injured we could have gone through

Makes that first leg all the more gutting really-well done to Crewe's keeper for seeing them through.

As Ron would say, "If Crewe win the JPT they should strike Neil Alexander a medal the size of a dustbin lid".

you cannot concede three goals and expect to get through. We did well but need to really look at our finishing, we cannot continue like this. Yes we got two goals but that was as a result of firing so many shots at them.

Still optimistic, we need three points there on Saturday and thankfully we broke the duct.

Completely agree.

Was it not Williams they had in goal at the Ricoh? In any case if we'd swapped him for Dunn then it would've been a cricket score.

We threw the game away in the last 10 minutes at the Ricoh, nothing to do with the quality of Crewe. We were the better side for 170 minutes of the tie

Think Murphy would have saved at least 1 of the 3. However the whole team were carried away by the full house including our management. Bit more patience and we could now be in a penalty shoot out or even at Wembley. Onwards and upwards PUSB

I know an ex City keeper who blames Murphy for wimping out of the second half of that game with a tight hamstring to reappear 4 days later unscathed and City 3-nil down !!

Lets learn from it, a blessing in disguise......how to play a two legged match.

We will go to Wembley, as long as we heed the lesson

Be really entertaining to read through from the start to see people going down cul-de-sac's. Once all the people who are "shocked, furious" at the violence have buggered off.

And yet for 180 minutes we were losing te tie 3-0.

Nothing to do with the quality of Crewe? They had less shots and scored more goals - they were better and more economical at finishing.

After all that bemoaning of missed chances, i was distracted and missed our first and just caught King Leon ( ) putting the second away!

Two little two late though (see what I did there )

Another story of missed chances costing us which is a worry!

I'm just laughing at the crap crowd the final will have. 30k maybe.

What's the lowest final crowd for this competition?

The main thing is we beat them Saturday and continue to push for promotion

Tricky one...we're missing loads of chances that are costing us, yet our striker is scoring at close to a goal a game: is it realistic to have an expectation of a striker to score at more than one a game??

Crewe deserve this I'm afraid.

It was a nice finish. We won the game and kept a clean sheet but that doesn't excuse the 180 minutes over two legs where we just didn't score a goal.

If we'd burried at least 1 goal in the first half and one of the close chances we had in the 2nd in both matches, those last two goals would have won us the game and the trip to wembley!

But it wasn't to be so let's focus on the league!

Ive said this a number of times of late - there is too much pressure on Clarke and Baker to score. We need more threat from the left. McSheffrey is finished and gives us nothing. We should desperately try and get a loan in to boost us here.

They had a goalkeeper in the form of his life, we had one about as much use as no keeper at all. It was a totally freak result that went grossly against the run of play.

At the end of the day it's academic-they're going to Wembley and we aren't; but if we get Championship football next season (whoopee, in with a whisker of getting back to the 2nd tier), I won't be complaining.
