Won't win this unfortunately. Not sharp enough in attack. Wigan very solid, will kick on now.

Oh ye of little faith!!

Well done lads, my nerves are totally shot (again).

Defence brilliant, thought we deserved the win, all things considered.

Just got my tickets for Wembley and the train journey. Roll on the 27th.

So much passion in this team,never give up.
I thought Chris Green seems to be stepping up now and Manu had another outstanding game even though he goes unnoticed.
Some big efforts out there tonight given the restricted interchanges

I thought Thaler had a good game

Radfud himself said some of the later decisions were questionable

A small point but it drove me mad in last 10

However thats history and we have a real chance to win it and my bet at 20-1 looks juicy

Well done FC, I will be at Wembley to see you break your duck.

Well that won't happen. You made up a little song about it.

Fantastic. I can barely speak. What an effort, what an atmosphere. See you all at Wembley

Had to leg it back for the last train thanks to Big Ben's video referee fetish. All I'll say on the refereeing is that match, between the same 2 teams with the same referee, was officiated entirely differently to the league game at their place. That night it was to our advantage because Donkey Kong's ""details"" were penalised, tonight they weren't. We've done brilliantly to win despite that.

I thought Manu was magnificent, start of the second half he was screw turner in chief. Ellis and Mini, defensively, massive.

First time this season our sliding defence and tackling out wide was on point, it's been a weak point (particularly wide right) but it was spot on tonight. Seen some negative comments about Carlos, I thought he was excellent.

Wonderful night. Tremendous support. RFL need to ask whether Friday night on Doncaster with 1 end of the stadium empty is really showing the sport off at its best but we did our bit, brilliant atmosphere.
