“I’ve just told the boys we come out of that with a lot of credit. We were more fluid than Reading. We hit the bar in the last minute and took a Championship club to penalties. I’m proud.”
“If we play like that in League 1, we’ll amass plenty of points. Credit to Reading, they had some great technicians in the shootout, and good luck to them in the next round.”
"I was proud man before the penalties, a proud man during the penalties and a proud man after the penalties.
"The boys performed out of their skins but they are doing that every week in training. It is awesome. We haven't lost a game yet in 90 minutes from coming back in June and what pleased me most was how we got to grips with the game.
"We have taken a Championship side right to the edge and we almost won it in the last few seconds. A header off the bar is agonising to see.
"I thought in large periods we were the better side but credit to Reading, they are a good side. They needed a win and they got a win on penalties and I have a lot of respect for them.
"Some outstanding performances tonight. Giles Phillips and Jamie Mascoll were excellent and I want to keep these expectation levels where they should be and that is just improve on last season.
“[Dominic Gape] is a future captain without a doubt. He is a very intelligent boy. He took his penalty with a real captain's prowess and it is fantastic for Dom to do what he did."
