“All of them, every single one of them should be proud of their performance after being called upon,” said Hudson.

“Rubin [Colwill] was due to start, then pulled out this morning, because we’ve got a bit of illness in the camp. Jaden woke up this morning thinking he was on the bench, then turns up here and he’s not. He’s starting.

“[It was] Isaak’s [Davies] first start since Derby at the end of last season and he looked really sharp and ready to go. It was a good test for him, too, because he had a whack in the middle of the first half. He twisted and caught one on the knee but got through it fine, so that’s good for him.

“Tactically, we got it right. We showed a good shape. We countered when we could, we frustrated them and scored two really good goals.

“We knew we would suffer in the second half. They have got an abundance of talent to come off the bench. It’s not bad when you can bring Rodrigo off the bench! Overall, I’m proud.”

Boreham Wood or Accrington Stanley await Cardiff or Leeds in round four.
