Accrington deserved the win, the speed they closed us down meant we never really got going.

From the few times I've seen him yes. Reminds me a lot of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with a touch of Lua Lua.

Excellent with both feet and should give us that bit of pace up front we desperately need.

Still, can't have everything can we?

Palace out, Stoke out, Ipswich losing in extra time...

Do the championship teams not fancy playing this cup then this season?

No we're just all f***ing awful. It's really a new low when you become excited over an equaliser against Peterborough United.

And Quinn's done what he said he would and bailed out once it was demosnstrated that he clearly isn't a manager yet.

Not quite yet - he's saying he'll go as soon as they get a "world class" manager to replace him. I'm at a loss to think who's available and daft enough. Sven ?
