For us over the next week n half, Bora at home in the 4th round of the FA Cup a week today then Norwich at home on the Wednesday both huge for different reasons. First of all the Bora game, its been ages since we progressed to the 5th round let alone had a good cup run and it would be so good if we could get our name into the draw for the 5th round with a win of rivals Middlesborough. Hopefully we will be in for a cracking game with both teams going for it and bragging rights up for grabs, this is the biggest game Bora will of played for a good couple of years and could be for another couple of years so they will be up for it but I think we will have enough to get a place in the next round. Wednesday's game will be a completely different with promoted side and 9th placed Norwich coming to the SoL. A win for us would take us above them and with Stoke away at Old Trafford it is likely we could be sitting in 8th come the Thursday so that has got to be the aim, get to 8th and stay there for the rest of the season. Its going to be a hard game Lambert who has worked with our own MoN has done a brilliant job since he arrived at Norwich and we will have to be at the top of our game to get the 3points. The aim is 2wins from the 2games and if we do manage to beat Bora who do you want in the next round? Home draw against Notts County if they beat Stevenage for me, after they beat us last season its time for payback and hopefully progress to the last 8 Ha'Way the Lads!!
TO be totally honest, I thought both the Swansea and Norwich games would be really tough. They are both doing well and have good young managers keen to make their mark. Even Mon admitted that we were running on empty a bit yesterday. However, the confidence and attitude is so much different now that we keep digging deep and pulling it off. I said last week that by the end of the month we would have 30 points and be in the 5th round of the cup and I'm sticking with that 100%. Who we would get in the next round is immaterial.
