Shaun Miller and Harry Maguire scored two goals apiece while Jordan Stewart struck a sublime consolation for the hosts when the game was all-but-over as a contest. Wilson was particularly delighted with the way his outfit coped with their more-experienced opponents to set up an away clash at Coventry in the next round. He said: "I think we played some very good stuff at times and some of the goals we've executed have been excellent - while one was slightly lucky - and we've given a good account of ourselves and it is a good experience for our younger players. "You look at the bench and they had a very good and experienced team out with a lot of strength in depth, and to come here and get a good result like we have, we have to be very pleased - particularly with some of the performances." Miller's two superb finishes were particularly impressive while Wilson felt the youngster's partnership with the often-maligned Chris Porter was also pleasing. The Blades boss added: "I think the pair of them were excellent. We saw exactly what sort of player Chris can be and he and young Shaun played together really well as a partnership."
