End of a fantastic run, no shame in that loss at all.... the quality level of Brighton players was something else and just highlights the absolute gulf between a top end Premier League side and the lower leagues.
UTM
There was quite a gulf between the Premier League and the top of the Championship yesterday.

Well done to all your fans today. You gave an excellent account of yourselves. Enjoyed chatting with some of you and I wish you all the best for the rest of the season and the future. If we can get here, so can you.
Obviously I am delighted that we have reached another Semi Final. Credit to you that we played a full strength side (almost, 10/11) but at the moment, a lot of clubs can’t keep pace with us in the Premier League. For you, all about the journey.
Today was what football was all about. And it was nice to see you had your moment at the end of the game.
Have a safe journey home all.

Big shout out to all the Grimsby fans who went today, you guys were top class and put many a premier league teams fans to shame. Absolute credit to Grimsby Town FC and enjoyed a post match beer with a few afterwards. Football as it should be with first class support all round, both teams giving their all to get through to the next round. Hopefully we made you all feel welcome and you enjoyed yourselves, the reception you gave your team at the end was brilliant and its not often that many home fans remained to applaud your boys off the pitch. Well done and up the Mariners.

Thank you Sid and all Brighton fans. As you rightly said football as it should be. We've had a great time today despite the score. You have fantastic facilities there and you made us feel very welcome. You are all a credit to Brighton. Currently stuck in traffic on the M25, on a Sunday night FFS! Hope you go on to win it, you have a great team there. UTM

The M25 is always a nightmare on Sundays, particularly between Egham and the M40. The M1 will also be very slow until you get past the first Milton Keynes junction, far better to go up the A1.

Yeah. Did well to keep it to 5-0. Expected as much, hoped for better as we all do. No complaints. Hell of an achievement.

No need to pick the bones out of that one, they're clearly levels above us and deserve to go through.
It's been an incredible run. I wasn't able to make Southampton or Brighton but I'll always remember being there for the Luton replay and witnessing that incredible first half.
Let's build on this!
