AUDERE EST FACERE - NOW MORE THAN EVER

[Muttley]

We did exactly what we needed to do, stop their midfield and frustrate them at every opportunity, that was our only option with the limited creative choices we had. We made it a messy game and despite their possession they didn't create any clear cut chances. Not how I want us to play but definitely a case of the ends justify the means.

In a one-off match, absolutely. We were the beneficiaries of some very poor attacking play from Utd. Some poor finishing as well in a couple of very key moments.

We can't really judge progress until we continue the journey though. We won't know for a while whether what happened on Weds is changing a fan belief system.

I'd say more important are the players but I get you.

It is interesting to me that earlier in the season Ange was dismissive of the importance of winning a cup as a panacea for all our ills, but is now in the "its a springboard" camp.

I think he learned how fragile our fanbase is (was). We absolutely needed that trophy. It gives us some clear air. The rebuild has started, now it can move at pace.
