Any other Owls fans on here? A reasonable start for us despite the takeover being in limbo..

Getting nervous already... MASSIVE game tonight! Hope CC starts with the Team that beat Cardiff.. I fancy Hooper to score.

Halfway there.. feel a little sorry for Brighton with the injuries. Also think we should have tried to kill them off a bit more in the last 20 minutes which may come back to bite us in the bum if they score early on Monday. Great atmosphere and a good performance though.

Wow, what a night! I don't think I enjoyed it until stoppage time though, extremely nerve racking! Well done Brighton for having a right old go at it, especially the first half an hour when they really had us on the ropes. Terrific performance from Westwood and our back four and we weathered the storm very well. Controversial equaliser from us although I thought the dodgy refereeing decisions evened themselves out over the two ties on the whole.

Decent run

5 more wins and Premier League is guaranteed Ipswich away will be tricky though this weekend..

Loving the spirit Carlos seems to have built.

That was nervy to watch.. Good result and tactically sound but we didn't threaten much.. Hope we can get Hutch back on Wednesday.. we missed his bite in midfield. Hooper lucks unlikely until the final (hopefully). I'd maybe bring Hutch into midfield and play Kieran Lee slightly further forward in the Hooper role. Drop Fessi to the bench and swap Fletch for Rhodes.. but what do I know!

Great reaction yesterday.. shame we have the international break now as I'd love to see us kick on from that win.

I'd more or less written us off before yesterday so it's great that it's at least back in our own hands. Lovely finish from Windass and that OG was hilarious / bizarre in equal measure.

It's the hope that kills you though!
