Fleetwood have done well but it was baffling tactics from Rosler, never really gave it a go until way too late, we are a decent side so you need to try and put us under pressure for longer than 20 minutes in a 180 minute tie to get a reward. It was way too simple for us, not that I'm complaining.

Agree with that. Expected so much more from Fleetwood, very strange.

Not been as nervey watching a game for a long time, all the ball, no threat, it was prime for a sucker punch after we did little with our possession. In the end it was comfortable but it was far from a classic - did what we had to do brilliantly and another trip to Wembley to come!

Our long unbeaten run at the end of 2016 and start of 2017 was based on pressing the opposition and a high workrate. I noticed in the last month or so (probably around the time we lost to Bolton) that the players were starting to feel it and energy levels were low. Maybe Rosler spotted this too - we did seem to become more conservative towards the end of the season.

I expect to see Fleetwood have a tough 2017/18 season, as I suspect they might struggle to hold on to a few of their players who might still be Chamionship bound

I'm afraid you could well be right, on the bright side the Chairman has 'tasted' the fine season we have had and will be more keen than ever to build on this, interesting times

Don't forget Fleetwood will still have a decent budget for this level, even if they lose a few players, smart signings will probably see them compete again next season.

(Not forgetting that weird £4.5m profit they posted last season, it will give them a big advantage wage bill wise).
