A nice easy home tie, where some of the fringe players can get a run out. For us this season, a decent cup run will boost our already high confidence levels, and if we can get a few goals, it'll help that some players remember where the goal is... #60 at Loftus Road please...
13 is my lucky number as well Queens! As you've taken it I'll double it and go for No 26 ManUre at Old Trafford, I reckon we could take them in their current form!...
We usually get knocked out straight away so may as well be to someone we're expected to lose to rather than a minnow who will show more guts and determination to win. Don't get me wrong I'd love a cup run but we'll probably be playing fringe players to try and avoid injuries especially to the likes of Austin who we just can't afford to lose in a cup game.
How about Port Vale at home - will bring out the best of us? [video=youtube;tTFOncppkJg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTFOncppkJg&feature=youtu.be&a[/video]
Tottenham at home, with a nice, quick, clean 1-0 loss that no one notices, doesn't demoralise the squad, and doesn't affect our promotion chances.
