Bristol City win, if not draw would be best for us, Derby have the stronger squad and don't have to chase Man City around for 90 minutes unlike Bristol and us.

Man City is bad news for us League wise.

No it isnt, playing against the best will galvanise the squad to want it on a regular basis and its a break from the league stuff for them. Knockout football cant beat it.

Yes the feel good factor has returned. Down the years we have had crap draws in the cup, for once we have the best team in Europe coming down to our patch, I am well up for it and I am sure the players will be as well :occasion5:
