After the game which finished 3-3, Blues’ boss Lee Casswell said, “We came up against a really good side today – they are the best side I’ve seen this season.

“We were 2-1 down and finding it difficult to defend with the slope so at half time we emphasised the belief that we could go on and get something out of the game.

“We were the better side in the second half only to be robbed by a cruel decision at the death which should have gone in our favour.

“However, having said that, we should have dealt with the situation far better - but that’s football.

“Now we have to do it all again on Wednesday and I am under no illusions about the replay – it’s going to be another very difficult game”, he added.
