First half I'd tend to agree, but sorry once the Subs were made (correctly) I thought we were in control of the game and although it was wasn't a polished performance it was certainly professional. the two centre backs were excellent and we kept a decent shape pretty much throughout.

Bristol City put in a typical lower league cup performance full of energy and fight. But we stood up to it instead of trying to be clever we saw it out. I never thought they were going to score.
