I actually thought this was encouraging and maybe showed Darren that the young players we have are worth persisting with. To have the young players we did have on the pitch in extra time was terrific and I thought they did well. In the end, a combination of comical Albion defending (does anyone on the coaching staff take the defence in training?), inexperience and tiredness due to playing with ten men did for us. I know I slag him off but a big shout out for HRK, whom I thought did really well and showed the qualities he does have. Not sure how their number 9 stayed on the pitch after the elbow on Field, although it was hard for the referee to see it - he was five yards away and looking straight at it!
