Don't we have to win the 3rd round first?

Average performance, but always seemed in control. We're into the hat, that's the main thing, plus Sheafs back!!!

• MVE is special.
• Bassette is keen, great work rate, got into some decent positions and has a good burst of pace and power. Reminds me a bit of someone else who used to play up top for us.
• I love watching Kasey Palmer. As frustrating as he can be, his ability to see a pass, and to turn a midfielder in a tight area is brilliant and he is always able to create positive play out of scraps.
• Wembley again ole ole.

Great to keep another clean sheet in the cup. If only we could translate that to the league.

Decent performance. Think Oxford Utd are a very poor side though. A couple of lapses in concentration near the end could have been costly. Need to watch that.
I felt our movement in midfield and upfront was much better than recent.

Bassette, Simms and BTA all going for one position. One of them is going to have to play out wide surely…

With sheaf on we got to final third quicker and got it out wide. That's integral to our formation. Normally we find it hard to move past half way line because of midfield issues

We really do look quite frail at the moment, it's a good job we've had so much if the ball tonight as you just feel like we can concede off every attack.

You joking aren't you? We never looked like conceding tonight. But admittedly Oxford are a poor side and will struggle this season.

Lot of positives from that game:
- Bassette impressed. Reminds of a certain someone
- EMC gave his defender nightmares when he moved to LW
- Sheaf back
- Kitching and Dasilva both v solid

Maybe the last few games have damaged me, but they had several chances at the end that could have gone anywhere.

Kitching tonight showed a lot of leadership I thought . Was keeping players around him alert and pointing them into position.
And he just looks composed on the ball

You'll always get that in a cup game when one side are chasing the game . It was our own fault for not killing it off

The step-up to Milan and Sheaf was night and day

If there's takers for Allen and KP those wages could go where quality cover is really needed ie DM/RB

Really? You thought Thomas looked good tonight ?
He looks low on confidence and his passing is so erratic.

Kitching is another that had a wobble last year so people have written off. Good player that just needs to be more disciplined at times.

Great chance to get minutes into squad players, and to show that our reserves are better than anyone else's.

Nor do I, but having a few extra games that don’t matter at this stage of the season is a good thing.

Not really a couple of hit and hope shots. We weren't exactly carved open.

This. He gives possession away so wastefully and unnecessarily. And constantly comes over to the full back when there’s no need.

Job done really, dominated possession and chances. We have a really strong squad overall, the best in decades.
Sheaf just a class above, even in that short cameo. So much talent though who all can play their part in a memorable season.
4 games unbeaten, bring on Norwich
