Farke's here - dominance?
The scoreline in the end, yes, but the fact we had a replay and went to 120 minutes. Have to congratulate Plymouth. A brave side. Never know when they are beaten. They kept getting feet in the door.
Nearly a perfect away performance. Created so many chances. Scored the goals, hit the bar and post. We had 82 per cent possession. Can't remember one game in football with more possession than we had tonight. They had one attack in the second half that caught us out.
What I liked today is the spirit and heart of my lads. You can think it's just the cup, a replay, it's windy, wet and the pitch is getting worse. Fate is against us. My lads showed great heart to win this. Invested so much into this game. They deserve to be proud of themselves.
Happy with the performance and soft skills. Gave everything to win this game.
Important of Joseph and Gelhardt?
Very pleased with both. Mateo had to wait a long time for a start. Did really well to create a chance in the first half, hit the crossbar. Good performance, linked the play. Invested a lot, Pleased for Mateo. Joffy had to wait long, but had a good impact in the second half. Used their chances to shine. Would have been better with goals.

PL opposition excited?
More excited about a shower and getting dry. Have to stay down here tonight and fly back tomorrow. Need to get the lads who did not play much, some load. Ethan Ampadu, fo example, he can do some more.
My topic is just Rotherham at the moment. In a few weeks we can look ahead to the cup.
Goals from fringe players coming?
Important we are competitive and have options. Players not too involved in recent months are now delivering with good performances. Georgi needs that goal for his confidence too. If you want to be ambitious you need competition in front of goal. Good for our mood. I would rather have such a situation instead of looking for places to find a goal.
Gnonto knock? Shackleton?
Willy had a hit on his foot before the goal, but was still there with a tidy finish. Just a bruise. Should be okay for Saturday.
Jamie still not well. Not well enough to travel. Ready for Saturday hopefully.
Summerville
Not tempted to put him in earlier. Created lots of load for him in recent weeks and generated some strains in his muscles of late. Knew extra time might be a chance, so we waited until the last minute to bring him in against exhausted opponents. If they are exhausted, they may not be ready to follow his movements. This was the plan for that.
