    Gone to penalties.
    Wigan were the much better side in the 1st half but then sat off in the 2nd half and looked average. If we play like we did against Derby we can beat either of them.

    Huge chance to get to a semi final, got to play our strongest side and go all out for this to try and get a Wembley final.

    I was thinking more of an interactive piece where the statue actually speaks the famous words when an admirer approaches it.

    I travelled up to Carlisle yesterday to get it recorded, but in 763 takes he said Cumbrians instead of Chickens every time.

    Best result we could’ve asked for in fairness

    And hopefully they’ll run out of steam on Saturday too when wright is charging at them!

    Given Alexander has only overseen part of the run I hope he allows Sparks to lead the lads out at Wembley.

    Surely that spot should be saved for our proud custodian. Perhaps let good old Edin accompany him for old times sake, just like at Fleetwood and Wembley 2016.

    I wonder what the attendance will be ? Potentially the last home match in the competition, will we see a good number attend so (like me) they don't feel bad/ hypocritical if we get to Wembley and they attend to be able to at least say they went to a match before the final ?

    I’ll be attending, first game I’ve been to live in this competition since Barnsley in 2015. Looking forward to it, never thought id say that about this competition! A chance to salvage something out of this crap season.

    Hopefully see a decent crowd but not expecting more than 4K.
    Doncaster will bring a few but this competition unfortunately fails to muster enthusiasm amongst supporters.
    After such a spirited performance against Derby the team deserve a good turn out.
    Addmision wise,cheaper the better should help swell the attendance.

    I might be enticed to attend if we can sit in our ST seat. We went to a cup match and sat in the lower Sunwin the seats are excruciating. I was ok but my hubby was in agony for weeks after.

    All the seats in the lower Sunwin, lower kop and the whole of Midland Road are a nightmare for anyone of any size imo.
