Gary McCann was very pleased with the performance this afternoon, and also with the resulting progression in the FA Cup.

"We were in control from start to finish and I was pleased with the way we never took our foot off the gas. It was a nice thorough professional performance.

"We showed Biggleswade the respect that they deserved and they tried to play football the right way.

"I am very pleased that Anthony Thomas scored a hat-trick. His attitude over the past few weeks has been spot on, and he took his chances very well.

"We now hope for a kind draw tomorrow, but we don't fear anyone as we showed last season."
