VIDEO: Crawley Town manager John Gregory gives his reaction to Ipswich victory
He praised his youngsters Charles Banya, Emmett O’Connor and Bobson Bawling and both his defence and goalkeeper Brian Jensen for keeping a second clean sheet in a row.
Gregory said: “I have to congratulate my players - they never gave up they continued to carry on. They showed a lot of passion, effort and enthusiasm and if they passed the ball a little bit better I’d be happier tonight.

“We rode our luck a bit.
“Defensively we were very sound. Brian Jensen kept a clean sheet which was the most pleasing thing for me tonight.
“We defended resolutely and solidly and sent ourselves through to the next round.”
