    wrong timing

    Why did the FA cup draw take place before all games had finished? Clough's half time team talk was if we get through this game we will possibly play Sheffield Wednesday in the next round, seems wrong to me cause teams knew who they had in the next round, we were robbed again, however this was our worst result of the season so far for me

    Tenuous at best I'm afraid.
    De Vries played a large part in our defeat -I don't like blaming individuals but after they equalised the writing was on the wall
