Brentford manager Terry Butcher believes his side should have secured their place in the second round of the FA Cup after producing an excellent display in the draw at Luton Town.
The Bees matched their League One opponents but eventually had to settle for a 1-1 draw and a replay at Griffin Park next Tuesday.
A proud Butcher said after the match: "I'm very pleased with the performance and proud of the players. I'm just disappointed we didn't get the win.
"I think before the game we'd have settled for a 1-1 and get them back to Griffin Park. In those terms it's mission accomplished. They're all heroes to me.
"However, Lewis Emanuel is going to be out for a bit. It's a slight tear in his Achilles tendon. We're looking at six weeks out."
