    Enjoyed that. Excellent atmosphere given there was only 5000 there.

    Certainly brought me round after recent bout of Covid.

    Banks had a very good debut. He certainly has something about him and will cause all sorts of problems for L2 defenders and he got stuck in too - far more than I would anticipate for a young winger. His set piece delivery was superb.

    Young again showed he has a bit of quality. The sub at 60 mins clearly shows that he is in Hughes plans for Saturday. Cook lead the line superbly. Chapman showed improvement too.

    A pleasing performance by all.

    After complaining that we were cursed on Saturday I still went last night and it was a great time :p

    For people thinking the celebrations were OTT, you had to be there to understand it. The atmosphere was rocking to say there was only 4k home fans, and the celebration wasn't so much about getting into the 2nd round of the cup, but more about our first win of the season and a good come-back performance against a mostly first-string Championship side. After the worry of failing to beat 10 man Donny and falling to Barrow, it was a relief seeing what we saw on the pitch - as if our summer efforts were coming to fruition.

    If we had won our first two games of the season and then beaten a fellow L2 side on the night, it wouldn't have been such a celebration

    I agree there was good banter between the supporters as well, beating a Yorkshire club in the championship felt satisfying and the crowd backed the players to the end. First time since 2015 I’ve enjoyed a cup tie and it’s a while I’ve enjoyed a live game as much full stop. I stayed behind and celebrating and don’t apologise for it, it was a very satisfying game to win and those that didn’t attend missed out imo.

    Did you miss that great tackle in the last minute to take it off the Hull players toe.

    Really enjoyed that, glad I decided to go. Great atmosphere for the crowd hope they only open bottom tiers from now on for early games.

    Not sure how we didn’t have a penalty or three! Thankfully the team made sure it didn’t matter.

    Kev, Gilliead couldn't tackle a hot dinner. He's been forced backwards because he's ineffective further forward but for me he's still only really an average utility player and definitely shouldn't be anywhere near a promotion chasing first XI.

    I have said throughout the summer that I wouldn't have been surprised to see Cook leave for the simple reason that he wants to play every single game and with the signings of Harratt and Oliver, it didn't look like he would be starting that often. What an attitude that lad has, the way he's come back leaner and fitter and determined to fight for his place and to show that you ignore him at your peril is exactly the sort of player we all love and need. Long may it continue.

    Well done to the young guns who showed courage and skill. Lots to take from this game and Cook underlining his value to the team.

    Well, that's more like it. Great performance from everyone. Although not much came off for him and he missed a great chance I liked the way Chapman kept looking to make something happen. And Banks looks a real find. Now let's kick on on Saturday.

    Can only echo what others have said, great night, great game, great atmosphere. Less than 6 thousand but the best atmosphere I've heard for a long time.

    Just got in, not caught up yet, but what a performance, not withstanding the score, reminded me of the win against Villa back in the day, so much organization, desire and commitment, really proud, well done all...

    Lots of rest is very good for viruses. Sleep yourself better. I hope you all recover soon. @Idlebantam@Idlebantam as well.

    Only the inhabitants of Hull would see a trip to Bradford on a summers evening glamourous
