Maximum credit to Matty Taylor and the players for that performance and result today. The performance especially was just so much more like the standards we expect as fans and the standards that we know this squad can produce. The changes that Matty made, including replacing Ward with Maxted was courageous in such a key game and it paid off, despite Maxted emulating Ward from the first leg and making a costly mistake.
The overall application and performance levels from all the lads who played a part today was amazing in such hot conditions and although they nearly paid for the hard work they put in when tiring badly at the end of normal time, they somehow found the resolve to come back and finish the job in extra time. Superb professionalism and grit on display. The Colchester leveller was cruel on the lads and I did think then that we'd blown it because we looked dead on our feet in the last part of the game.
Pleased for Bowman to get the goal that sealed the tie and now we just have to get over the line against Northampton.
It was great to see all the cardboard cut outs. I thought it looked quite impressive actually and added to the spectacle. Well done the club and those cutout fans!
Just relieved to get the tie over with and now we must beat Northampton and finally get the job done. We owe those cheating Cobblers.
A huge well done to Matty, the rest of the management team and the players. A performance that showed a will to win, determination, commitment and ability which ultimately proved too much for our Essex counterparts.
