Any if those at home, hopefully our reserves can get into the quarters but realistically our cup run is probably over after this round.

Let's concentrate on the league
 
Not bothered who we get but it would be nice if our 2nd string could take us further in this competition than we have ever been before :D

Indeed it would. Round 4 is the best we have ever done in the league cup. QTR Finals would be Hull City history making.

Yes. Win one more round and it is the Qtr finals and uncharted waters. Then watch the gates increase.

Has to be Slumberland surely ? <whistle>
 
Bob - you're right I haven't followed the Championship at all this year. I just assumed Burnley were the same average side they have been for the last few years. Is Dyche still there? He's a right ****.
 
The other times we reached the fourth round(courtesy of ToP on CI)...

1973-4 we reached R4. losing to Liverpool in a replay.
1975-6 lost in R4 at Doncaster.
1977-8 lost in R4 at Arsenal.
 
Any of them at home, s'oton or fulham wud be useful, but I suspect we'll cop for the arse, burnley or leicester away !

Oh yes 1973-4. Losing to Liverpool 3-1 @ Anfield in the replay after a drab 0-0 tuesday afternoon game @ Boothferry Park during the days of power cuts. City still managed to get a crowd of 19,748. Liverpools team that day was :- GK-Ray Clemence. D-Tommy Smith,Phil(now sky) Thompson,Larry Lloyd, Alec Lindsay, with the late/great Emlyn Hughes in a defender/midfielder role, others in M-Ian Callaghan, Peter Cormack, Forwards were Alan Waddle and Kevin Keegan.

I remember the home tie against Liverpool in the 73/74 season. It was a midweek afternoon game during the time of a miner's strike and 4 hour power cuts. Me and half the other school kids took the afternoon off and saw a 0-0 at Boothferry Park
