Luton 4-3 Forest Green: Rollercoaster of emotions for Wilshere and Savage in FA Cup classic

Wilshere speaking to BBC Radio Three Counties:

“It was a tough second half, it is hard to analyse right now because there was so much happening. But it is three wins in a row and I’m not sure when that last happened.

“That is important for the players, that they see we are about winning. We have to be better in the second half but we will look at that.

“Credit to them. We expected them to be like that, a Robbie Savage team. In the first half we did well with killing their spirit. We kept the ball well and it is difficult when they get a bit of momentum.

“We found a way and sometimes you have to find a way.”

Here’s how fans reacted as Luton 4-3 Forest Green saw a rollercoaster of emotions for Wilshere and Savage in the FA Cup First Round classic…

@Richbow79: People not giving FGR the credit they deserve. They were excellent and went for it. Fair play. A bit of quality win it for us.

@w1spa_1: Gave us a right *scare* there lads 😅

@chazabbb: i know it’s halloween but you didn’t need to scare us like that lads 😅

@LtfcMatt: 3 wins on the bounce… never in doubt. Obviously I am being sarcastic, really we got lucky which is frustrating as I thought we were gaining a bit of momentum. Oh on to Stockport away.. I guess we see where we are against the league leaders

@GrantTheHatter: Unlucky lads , you deserved to go into extra time at the very least. Good luck for your promotion push this season.

@AnleyBrian:Your players done you proudYour fans done you proudHave us a thriller and a real fright night on halloweenBest wishes for the rest of the season

@upthesilks1: Real shame that. Thought you were decent but savage deciding to start a second string team in ur biggest game in years has cost you dearly unfortunately lads. No refunds on etaluku btw.

@Owenfgrfan: Damn, that was some good football today, 3 goals easily could have been avoided. It was some effort from everyone. Take that as a positive, to come back from 3-0 down and still could have won it, is some achievement

@Piffysmith16: Threw the first half with the selected team

@LTHTCL: You lads should’ve won that. Deserved a draw at the very least

@ChikaTC1: Gutted. Fantastic second half, didn’t deserve to lose like that. Well done lads 👏

@tinytai: Proud of this team 💚

@abboluton2: Good luck with the league Forest Green , it’s the hardest one to get out of . FG may have deserved to win on that second half performance. Note the Luton fans clapping you off. COYH

@MikePannett: Well played FGR – A great showing for the National League. How important is it to have #3UP? Come on FA. @EFL Played Luton off the park 2nd half #YCFC
