I thought it was a really good performance by us,we attacked them and there was a period where they couldn`t get out of their half as we kept the pressure on.The goal we conceded was disappointing because Smith had two opportunities to score which he did the second time of asking.Our response to their goal was positive and we got our rewards when Dacks expert pass cut through their defence for McGlashan to run on and finish.He got injured when scoring,but luckily he was able to run it off.We had some momentum and Loft`s shot was tipped away well by Fielding.We kept looking to score in the second half McGlashan`s curled shot tipped away by Fielding.Nelson made a couple of decent saves to keep it close,but it wasn`t to be for us.We left ourselves a mountain to climb after the first leg,but I was pleased and proud with our performance in front of the cameras.We could have rolled over,but we kept going until the end.Matt Smith really was the difference over the two legs,it could have been so different if we learnt to deal with him,but well done to Bristol City on reaching the Final.
McGlashan was the pick of the bunch for me,he caused City problems all night and showed why he deserved to start.Pritchard looked decent and is growing in confidence,and Dack assisting the goal and making things happen was good to see.The downsides were Egan now being suspended for Walsall away,and Martin going off and leaving on crutches.We`re unbeaten in three games in all competitions,and hopefully we take the confidence into Sunday now.
