"We had no kind of quality, and I saw no one who could win a dribble. Then, conceding set goals and timing in the header. "If you can't create clear chances, it is a lack of quality that we have shown. We deserved to lose. "Honestly, I have no explanation for what I have seen, and we can find excuses, but you don't need tactics and a manager for these games. "So I think if you just show what you are capable of and show pride, then you perform in a different way."
"Goals either side of half-time from captain Paul Dawson and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts were enough to pull off an upset, despite a nervy finish following Yeremy Pino's strike in the 90th minute. Macclesfield are the first non-league team to eliminate the FA Cup holders since Palace knocked out Wolves in the 1908-09 first round. They also became the first non-league team to score twice in an FA Cup match against a Premier League team since Kettering Town vs Fulham in 2009, and the first against the holders since Runcorn vs Preston in 1939."
