Youri MotM for me...

He looked tired at the end though. Almost like he was fed up. Didn't look his usual happy self.

But I'm afraid he just isn't good enough. 

Thanks for letting me now. I'll inform the relevant parties.

Colchester would be great 

Either Colchester, Sunderland/Oxford or Everton/Villa/Wolves with Colchester drawing Sunderland/Oxford please.

[Basildon Fox]

Made harder work of that than it should have been after going 2 up on 20 mins. Still good result. Thought their keeper played very well. 

[lozzyblue fox]

A home tie would be nice just for a change

[Leicesterpool]

Colchester United or Oxford Utd in the next round I think

[Al-aLondon-Foxile]

When is the draw for the next round? I wanna know if we’re home or away to Man City? 

[surrifox]

WE will get Everton in the quarters hopefully at home 

[Happy Fox]

Got the job done, I reckon it will be Chelsea away

Rodgers out....

My hope: Man City in the final at Wembley. Repeat of the 1969 FA Cup Final, 50 years later. Can we get our own back and for all those flaming penalty shootout losses recently? 

[Foxymcoxy]

Gray with an assist and 2 lovely 'hockey' assists if I'm not mistaken. Shame he hasn't found better goal scoring form still but definitely impacting games more now.

He was really dynamic and active. Can see why MC added him to their collection.

Good performance but we should have been out of sight after an hour... All of our wingers need to be a lot more clinical, it’ll make the difference between a great season and a decent season.

Really? We were great for the first 10 minutes and poor for large parts after that. We created alot of chances and their keeper made some good stops, but we allowed them far too many chances as well. Without the Ward save and the Choudhury clearance off the line, could have been very different. Our passing and defending was dreadful at times.

Job done, was very nervy at times, thought gray was terrific, always on the front foot and driving at their full back, felt justin and hamza were a bit unsteady, glad for nacho to bag a goal, he harried well and put in a good shift

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Promised more than we delivered tonight. Carved them up time and again, but poor final ball or shot.

 

Justin looked very poor to me. 2nd half he was found out several times. Pray Ricardo doesn't get injured.

[lestajigs]

Its gonna be liverpool aint it, twice in a week 

[martyn]

Bizarre game. Should have ended about 6-3 or similar. Amount of promising positions wasted was incredible really, and Burton had 15 mins either side of half time where they were the better side.

 

The game will have again shown Rodgers that the wide options need improving. Albrighton has been a great player for us but he isn't dynamic enough for the way we are playing now and Gray is Gray. 

 

Defence pretty shaky as well, thought both centre halves got bullied at times and Justin got skinned repeatedly last 15 minutes.

 

Still, onwards and upwards. Hope we can avoid Man City for once
