Tilson: We thoroughly deserved it

The Robins led through Elvis Hammond's first-half strike, but Lee Barnard's second-half double guided the Shrimpers into the second round. Tilson's men exacted revenge on Cheltenham for their defeat at the same stage of the competition a year ago. "I thought we thoroughly deserved it. We moved the ball well and created a lot of chances," Tilson said. "I thought after the first 35 minutes, which were absolutely tremendous, we could have been four or five up. They have to have a little bit of play and in that 10-minute spell they scored, so we were obviously disappointed to go in 1-0 down. "In the second half they made it more difficult and they weren't as open, but once we got the first goal, they had to come out again and we have gone on to get the second."
