Its about time we had a bit of a cup run, as we've been very poor over the past few years. The FA Cup is still the best but that's 6 months away and I'd settle for a couple of wins in this competition
championship teams are more than capable of getting to the final, and for once ( not saying i want city at wembely ) It would be nice if we go 4 or 5 games in to it
The league cup should give some first team games to the fringe players to see if they are there or there about to be first team players.
