FA Cup

If we can get an early goal and keep the lead for awhile it might swing in our favour, I know it's only highlights on mod but they looked short on confidence, some of their misses were as bad as ours have been, anyway it will be a good test for the team in a game on paper we shouldn't be winning

Nothing to fear, and a decent chance of an upset. They've got a few players who've played at this level not too long ago.
I would agree - I suspect they will be more concerned than us, although I also suspect the FA Cup is not high on their list of priorities, so they may well sacrifice the cup and rest some of their better players to concentrate on trying to climb out of the bottom three. If they go down this road, all the better for us, as we might then have a better chance of nicking it. Trouble is, there's such a gulf in talent between the Prem and the Championship, let alone Div 1, so even their youngsters would give us a tough test. At least, the pressure will be on them, not us.

The year they were promoted to the Championship I thought they were the best team we faced that season at home
 
I hope you are wrong about the game being on TV CJS because an out of form Sheffield United would score 7 or 8 if we played like we did tonight
