Cheltenham Town's FA Cup journey has come to an end after a meeting with Leicester City in the 3rd round yesterday.

The League 2 team had a home advantage against the Championship side but couldn't find the net and were beaten 2-0.

Both goals of the game were conceded in the first half with fans praising the robins for their performance after half time.

One fan outside the stadium told Greatest Hits Radio it wasn't too much of a disappointment: "I don't think Steve Cotterill will be too disappointed I think he's more focused on obviously staying in League 2."

Another added: "Not the hoped for result but I think Cheltenham actually played really well today all things considered."

The team are back in League action next weekend against Oldham Athletic.
