Couldn't lay a glove on them. Too good for us, but we gave our all and the fans were great.

Long way for a hammering, but glad I went.

I'd also like to say well done to Brighton. Very good football team and the locals were helpful and friendly.

Brighton deserved the win, they are a very good side and  there is no shame losing to them.

Our lads gave everything today. They can hold their heads up. And the reception they got at the end was incredible. Despite being disappointed, the players stayed on that pitch saluting the fans for ages at the end. Very classy from both the players and the fans.

There is a real bond between the payers, management, ownership and fans. And that is why today we may have lost a football match, but we are winners in every other respect.

Our club is back.

Amazing scenes at the end and Town supporters showing real class. Think the Town players were a bit taken back by the support and emotion after the final whistle. Makes you proud to be a mariner, even in defeat. Watch out Mansfield we’re coming for you. UTM


Very classy support, I really hope you push on.

We've lost to teams in the same league as us by similar scorelines, Burnley lost by more (yeah, albeit only 1) to City and they're only 1 league below. Their team was worth what, 350  x ours, I don't think it was as bad as it could have been.

Wonderful memories. So proud of our club.

Like Cloughie I believe in miracles but hand on heart, I couldn't see any scenario where we could possibly have won that game, such was the gulf in class. I predicted 6-0 so 5-0 exceeded expectations. You have to put your hands up and say well done Brighton, incredible team.

The players and fans gave it their all. I'm delighted the players got a magnificent send off from the fans at the end, which was class. You'd have thought we'd won the cup, rather than lost 5 zip but it was completely justified given the players heroics to reach an historic quarter final.

I think I had something in my eye at the end.

Special mention for all the Brighton fans on here and who we met over the weekend who were all friendly, humble and very complimentary about both of our fullbacks after the game. Class act. Hope BHA go on to win it.

Back to reality with Mansfield up next. Think we'll see a few changes from Sunday as the players looked dead on ther feet at the end.

Onwards and upwards! UTM.

Well yeah, I know that.

Was just thinking that it's the furthest I've travelled in 50 years watching Town, almost knowing what the outcome would be, but glad to do it anyway.

As I said, we made history.
