    Sheffield United are a good team and if we get past Reading they should fancy their chances. But we’re at home and it’s the cup so all to play for.

    I reckon Mr Warnock might be invited if it's us to face the Blades.

    Here we go again. Reading for 3rd time in 11 days.

    Will both sides revert to back up players selections or stick with their best available 11's?

    Personally I think a 5th round home draw with the Blades is quite attractive and should see a bigger crowd than we saw at Reading and will see tomorrow - less than half the ground scheduled to be open when tickets went on sale and I can't see last Friday's game being a great advert to attract more in.

    I'm not sure about the FA's decision to play the fifth round over 3 midweek dates with no replays. Blades fans are much less likely to make mid week trek rather than a Saturday.

    Will Harris go for a strong team or not be bothered and just focus on the league?

    Hope it's not another bore draw and we get a better ref than last Friday's pompous clown.

    We seem to be the draw kings at the moment.
    Only lost 2 since harris took over. Seems more, as we've not won many either.

    And tomorrow night's man in the middle is Gavin Ward. Been around a while but only been in charge of us 6 times in 10 years.

    He ref'd our 1.0 win over Stoke earlier this season.

    3 draws and 2 defeats previously, the most notable being a 3.2 loss at Palarse 7/8 years ago when I'm sure something controversial happened but I can't remember what.

    Has mostly done Championship and lower games so can't be that highly thought of if not graduated to the Prem.

    He looks about 12 years old.

    Glen Murray hat trick including two penalties. We picked up 4 yellows. Gunner and Don Cowie scored our goals. We were leading 2 - 0 at half time

    Probably. You know my memory, I can't remember - will need to root through my boxes of programmes to check. Ordering gammon for Dai, instead of scampi recently is proof of that!

    Remember that. Both pens were nailed on. A strikers challenge by Helgysson and a handball in the wall from a direct free kick<doh>

    Brad Smith not available tonight as signed on 30th January, after drawn game at Reading.

    Media expects both clubs to rotate squads tonight.

    So at the risk of being savaged by the diehards, who else is not going tonight?

    BT and BfB will be there plus my blind mate Andy. He's a Gas fan. Hopefully will be educated.
