*A win in the cup , banana skin avoided and a clean sheet.
*West ham fan Jack Wilshere getting his first ever goal for the club
*Fornals opening his account - will give him confidence
*Plenty of minutes for a number of squad players
*Into the next round of the cup
*Sanchez showing why hes the coolest footballer thats ever lived.

Only negative being Antonios injury but overall happy days :crest:

I was surprised that they weren't more physical and in our faces.

The last team to beat them at their place was Manchester City in February. That's a feather in our cap, that is.

Job done.

A poor 2-0 win definitely beats getting knocked out by lower league opposition.

Not many positives, however:
Roberto looked good
Wilshere & Sanchez both played well in the 2nd half
Fornals & Wilshere both getting off the mark

Negatives:
Our crossing is absolutely woeful
Zabaleta looks shot
Diop & Balbuana look low on confidence
Ajeti struggled to get into the game

Anyway, onwards to the next round and hopefully a decent run in this cup!!!

Good game from us....

BUT, its also have to be said, that we were as with Watford somehow lucky they do not scored all the chances they had. 8-)

My MotM, Sanchez

Honorable mentions to Wilshere, Roberto, Anderson and Fornals...

Sanchez - terrible footballer but brilliant at giving the team shape.

Ajeti - looks like he'll only ever score by accident!

Good result tonight, we move on.

To be fair, for some of the older members that is involuntary.

Fair play to anyone who made what must have been a very unpleasant trip in this heat, on a weekday.

Enjoyed Sanchez taking care of Connor Coventry out there.
The boy was rattled after a couple of mistakes but Sanchez took it upon himself to keep giving him the ball. Respect.

At the start of the game, Jack Wilshere looked like a League 2 player, when he went off he looked like our best player.

This might have done his confidence the world of good.

The same for Fornals.

Potential banana skin avoided, Antonio’s injury aside the rest doesn’t really matter. These games are much, much harder than they appear as you’ve got nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Best moment of the match for me Wilshere's pass to Fornals in the first half.

Mine was the majestic Cruyff turn from Sanchez.

In fairness anyone who saw the Wimbledon games last year would be justified. Exactly the same lad attitude and play that allowed them to get up early and then proceed to embarrass us. Barring a fairly weak second yellow in the first game we might've lost both those games. Not to mention, you know the whole of our cup history in the last 20 odd years... If they could finish, we would have been 2 down before our first goal.

I hear it's rumoured that you don't live in Grimsby; witchcraft I, of course, hasten to denounce.
