Well that was all pretty embarrassing, there isn't a gap between the First Division and the Championship, there is a bloody chasm the size of the Grand Canyon, and if you have never had the chance to see that, then let me tell you it's bloody big, lol.

Disappointing to go out,but we didn’t disgrace ourselves.Walsh did well in goal,and Woods did ok.We didn’t get thrashed.We had a good League Cup run,so no complaints from me.Hopefully we can do well in the League,then have an FA Cup run.Hopefully Bonham will be ok to play on Saturday,and Willock’s injury isn’t too bad.

We had 23 % possession, 3 shots compared to their 15, ZERO shots on Target compared to their 5, 4 corners compared to their 10, but we did win the foul race, we only had 9 compared to their 14, all in all and the fact that the reports said Stoke dominated the game from start to finish, I think it was pretty embarrassing.
