Bond admitted his side's confidence was "smashed to pieces"

"With it being so late in the game, we were expecting it to go to penalties, but it turned for us right at the death," Bond said.

"So we're just thankful and grateful to be in the next round.

"Brett was going to be our penalty-taker, and Max knows that," Bond explained.

"To be fair, Max only showed up at half past five - I hadn't seen him since we played Crewe (on 6 October) as he'd been on compassionate leave after his mother died.

"He'd flown in from France, I didn't know what to expect from him, but he said he felt up for it. He's done a miracle to play.

"There's no way I would have played him under normal circumstances, or Warren Cummings who hasn't had a reserve game - but we had to because of the (injury) situation we're in.

"We all know why Max wanted to take the penalty - he's an impetuous young man, he knew it wasn't his job, but what can you do?

"I was just thankful that it went in the back of the net.
