    Newcastle caretaker manager John Carver: "Newcastle's fans should expect better. I'm one of them. I've been there with them and I would be the same. They travelled all this way having spent a lot of money over the festive period, and they're entitled to their opinions.

    "The one thing as far as I was concerned is that I wasn't going to let our players leave the pitch before going over and thanking the fans. And I was right there at the front, and so I should be because I can take it, I'm a big boy."

    Nottingham Forest manager Stuart Pearce, speaking to the club's official website:, external "We've once again gifted the opposition a very, very soft goal. That decision-making under pressure has cost us. Apart from that we probably dominated the game. We had a host of efforts, especially in the second half, but we failed to create a goal.

    "They're showing enough endeavour, but if you make elementary mistakes in our own box it's going to be costly."

    Preston manager Simon Grayson: "It's very pleasing to beat a Championship team looking to get back in the Premier League. Our keeper hardly had a save to make all game.

    "Paul Gallagher has got fantastic ability and he's here on a season-long loan. He's a flexible player and for him to get the goals today is great, but collectively we were very strong and organised in doing what we did.

    "The FA Cup is a fantastic competition but it's actually our lowest priority. The club is geared for the Championship and we want to get back there, and we have a Football Trophy semi-final on Wednesday. But doing well in the Cup breeds confidence and momentum."

    Birmingham boss Gary Rowett: "I'm disappointed by our first half. Credit to Blyth and it's what this cup competition is all about. We had a goal chalked off early on and I'm not sure what that was for, but we were then undone by two really good bits of their wing play.

    "At half-time I told the players it had not been what I wanted. In the second half we showed our pace and power. Little spaces started to open up and I think certain Blyth players will have been thankful for the final whistle at the end.

    "I don't always want to get angry at half-time. I just told told them that a thousand of our supporters had travelled here to Blyth. I wanted us to give them something positive.

    "We hadn't tested Blyth in the first half so we went a bit more direct, putting balls behind them into space, and those three quick goals just managed to steal it.

    "I thought Blyth were brilliant, an absolute credit to the town, the fans and their manager, If they had beaten us I couldn't have had too many complaints, I hope they now go on and achieve promotion from their division this season."

    Derby County boss Steve McClaren again insists he will not be leaving the Championship high-flyers to take the vacant Newcastle job.

    "I've dismissed that link and I'm sticking to that," he tells BBC Sport. "We've a job to do here, it's a great club and we're challenging at the top of the Championship, aiming to get into the Premier League."

    "Would you believe, Preston played a slightly weakened team because we've got the big one, the Football League Trophy Northern Final on Wednesday against Walsall... and then we still got through to the FA Cup fourth round!

    "Who do we want in the next round? Manchester United. We'd take the money and run off into the sunset."

    Derby boss Steve McClaren: "This is the FA Cup and this was always going to be one of those times when the opposition is going to frustrate. We weren't positive or smart enough around the box, and the only way we were going to score was through a penalty.

    "But credit to Southport and their fans, who created a great atmosphere. I'm going for a nice glass of wine with Gary Brabin now. His team worked hard, defended, blocked and their keeper was magnificent. It was injury-time and I was dreading a replay in Southport.

    "But our subs made an impact, and we all know that in these third round ties anything can happen. We didn't want to be the headlines tomorrow morning, and very fortunately we're not."

  12. Manager reactionpublished at 17:40 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January 2015

    Southport boss Gary Brabin: "We played against a top side in Derby and I've told the lads in the dressing room that in 2015 I'm sure Derby will be a Premier League side.

    "They found it hard to break us down but we played well in patches and gave them a couple of scares. It wasn't just a case of getting men behind the ball, we created a threat."

    On concentrating on the Conference, where they lie 20th in the table: "Since I've been here in the last three months, the lads have worked hard, and had a great cup run as well. We have got some great results, raised the bar a bit today and if we keep it going then we'll be OK."

    Rochdale chairman Chris Dunphy: "Fantastic! A great game of football and the win was thoroughly deserved. A few young players were out there and they all stepped up for the football club. It's what we're trying to do here, bring players through our academy. Because of illness and injuries we were down to the bare bones, but they all delivered.

    "As the chairman, most of the time it's hard work but today's the sort of game to enjoy. We will enjoy this tonight - it's two years in a row now that we've reached the fourth round of the FA Cup."

    Leicester manager Nigel Pearson: "What a difference a week and a half makes, eh? It was an important result for us today, off the back of two decent results in the league. Our league performances have been better than the results reflect. And now we have to build upon positives, with today being such a scrappy affair. But we didn't look overly uncomfortable when they had the ball.

    "They had an unluckily disallowed goal which was possibly onside. So that's one that's fallen our way, though the debate remains regarding the use of technology. But with today's result that's three good wins on the trot."

    "That was the original game of two halves. Birmingham made 10 changes and the way they started it looked like they'd made 100. But Blyth were fantastic and were of course more used to the conditions. Birmingham must have got a rocket at half-time, and their three goals in six minutes was enough to see them through."

    West Brom manager Tony Pulis on vacating the stands for the touchline in the first half: "There were one or two things I wanted to say and I was too far away from the pitch. It was very unusual for me me not to have my cap and tracksuit on on the touchline. But Gateshead put in such effort and commitment and their supporters should be very proud of their players, coaches and the manager today. The longer the game went on the better we got, but it took 15-20 minutes for us to settle down.

    "The club has had no offers for Saido Berahino and I've had one day's training with him, and I'm looking forward to working with him. He can score a goal and he's got the balance of a very good player. He looks as though he's got the potential to be a good player. If any offers come in I'll get on the phone to the BBC and ask you guys what I should do!

    "It was good today - I got that adrenaline rush before the game and on the touchline I can't stand still. I'm impressed with the club, impressed by the people, and I hope we do well this season and then we can look to put things in place for the longer term."

    Wolves manager Kenny Jackett: "I thought we played well, it was a very good performance. Their keeper made some excellent saves. We'd all have loved Leon Clarke to have scored (open goal) but it came at him very quickly off the post."

    Tom Wade, Blyth Spartans manager: "I'm exceptionally proud of the lads and how we performed today. Robbie Dale had a great game - two fantastic goals. We were the better team in the first half and maybe half-time slightly killed us. Birmingham aren't in the Championship for no reason, of course. I thought they might get a foothold in the game and when they did they were awesome, to be honest.

    "The FA Cup for non-league players, means everything, the world. It's the biggest tournament in the world for us, and it's a pleasure to play in it."

    Swansea's Nathan Dyer: "It was a pleasure to captain the side today and I wanted to make sure the boys gave everything. It was a good win and we showed our strength in depth. Everyone is challenging for places and we all did well today. This cup is massive so we want to do well and we want to go as far as we can."
