Snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, despite Balogun's best efforts.

A great win for the lads and the travelling fans, well done
Yup.
3 massive points in the bag and now onwards to the Burnley game.

Yep and other than the fact it was a coincidence it's no coincidence we didn't score until he came on.
Hopefully that'll put the boo-boys to bed.
Remember when we used to play Prem sides when in the lower leagues, and they looked like we did tonight. Clearly better players, fitter and in the end it was comfortable. Nice.
I seriously don't think you give him the credit he is due. He sometimes is offside because he is looking at an opportunity that will be decisive if it comes off, but will be a freekick to the opposition if it doesn't .
1/5 ratio leads to a few harmless freekicks to the opposition and a possible goal for the Albion.

Was just settling down to watch 2nd half and it all went turbo at work and I have only just had a chance to check the full time score. Looks like I missed a hell of a 2nd half :-(

There's no game for ten days after the Derby one. Hughton should be able to pick a full strength team if he wishes.

The second half was quiet. It all happened in extra time.

Great result all said and done, I did get 20s on the game going to extra time and us going through on penalties 
Good win , hard work & .... well I still cant explain the WBA goal & Balogun.
Team looked disjointed at times after a slow start but grew into the game & eventually started to take some kind of control. Lucky Andone didnt get carded , should have seen red for the elbow but sometimes thats how it goes & you get the breaks , we made the most of ours and can now look forward to the next round after we dispatch Burnley in the league this weekend.

Agree totally but he is 35 years old. My point is valid.

Good point. So the first team players will play on Saturday (9th Feb) then not play again until the 26th Feb, or they could play in the FA cup game on the 16th. Would like to see more first team players in the team for Derby and get the game won in 90 minutes. They would still get a good rest before the 26th.

Hughton has spoken out about the abuse of Bong and said it's up to the FA to take action.

Overall I was pretty impressed by him, but his urge to shoot from distance at every opportunity is frustrating. he also gave the needless free kick away that led to their goal.
