After a 5-0 loss you don't want to be going away to a Premier league side,but hopefully we will raise our game.I would love a shock,but a good performance is needed mostly after Saturday.

NNOOO Dack misses a penalty, and now we have equalised, jjeezzz we could have won this 2-1 and we let them off the hook, I hope this does not come back to haunt us.

Blackpool this week,but saw the live text on Twitter from half-time.It looked like every player battled until the end,and put a real shift in.Nelson back to his best as well,glad Edinburgh kept faith with him.It shows football is a funny game if you look at Saturday and then last nights result.I never believed we would score let alone win,so a massive achievement to win away at a Premier League club forr only the second time in our history.This was the lift the club needed after Saturday,hopefully we can build on it.

Gills inconsistent ? There's a new one. Great result though so well done the lads.
