    Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels, speaking to ITV: "We knew before the game it would be difficult.

    "We didn't start the game well so I think after we came back well, we finished the game. It was just about ourselves and we made it difficult.

    "You always need to be ready. I was ready and was helping the team in the right moments. It is a positive to go to the next round.

    "Step by step - we have some important games in the league and then full focus on the cup. We try to continue as long as possible and we will see how far we can go."

    Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to ITV: "It was a hard game."

    On what could have been better: "So many things. It was hard to play.

    "We started in a bad way but the response was good. We had another setback after half-time and it became so hard. Credit to Exeter.

    "I am happy in the end that we are going through."

  3. Sutton's predictions: Exeter v Nottingham Forestpublished at 09:04 11 February

    I know it is being televised but I don't really understand why this game has to be on a Tuesday night - and I don't like it.

    The timing might affect Nuno Espirito Santo's team selection before Nottingham Forest go to Fulham on Saturday. It seems unfair they cannot play at the weekend like everyone else, and have a clear week before travelling to Craven Cottage.

    It won't stop 'The Wood-Chopper' [Chris Wood] from sending Forest through, but it could mean Nuno makes more changes for this tie. I hope he doesn't, but I think he might - although they should still have too much for Exeter.

    This is the first time Exeter have reached the fourth round since 1980-81, and they went on to lose to eventual winners Tottenham in the quarter-finals.

    I'd love to see Forest - have I mentioned they were my boyhood team? - repeat that feat and go all the way to the final this season. If they do make it to Wembley, I will definitely be there cheering them on.
