Speaking after the match, Franchise manager Karl Robinson was quoted as saying: "That's as good a 10-man performance as you're going to see - against a team who are spending four or five times more than us. The two centre-halves were magnificent, a makeshift partnership with Chicksen moving to left-back, and Jon Otsemobor, who's not fit, put a fantastic right-back performance in. There's a number of scenarios that I can't protect my players over and I won't protect them, but Smithy today and Stephen Gleeson against Cheltenham, I've got to because they're not sendings off - it's the referee and linesmen's judgment against our challenges. We've got a referee coming in next week to go through them all and say what is and what isn't, but when there's been tackles against you over the last three games that were worse than the ones you've been penalised for, it's hard for our players to accept it".
