Sure, but the team will be full of confidence after claiming the scalps of 3 premiership teams in the cup so far. One of which was Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, being only the second team to beat them at home in 2 years or something. I'm sure our lads will be full of confidence and will get down to business and play good football no matter who we draw next, just hoping we don't get United till the final.
I would actually prefer Tottenham next than Derby because if we beat them then it means we've gone through all premiership teams to get to the final (with the exceptions of Bury and Oldham in the first 2 rounds). I wouldn't want the Derby game really because I know for a fact we can beat them and I'd rather see the lads go up against a Prem team and rightfully earn their spot.
As for the premiership, I don't know just yet. Competition is really tight at the top of the Championship but I know the team is good enough to play in the prem its just if our usual Post-Christmas form starts again. We've gone from top 6 in the first half of the season to around 12th-13th in the last 2 seasons. Hopefully Coyle will turn things around this year but anything can happen, our results against Barnsley and Doncaster show that. We are a much better side than both and were expected to get all 6 point which would have took us 3rd with a point above Reading, 3 points behind Birmingham in 2nd and 9 points behind Wolves who are leading the pack. But anything can happen yet and all it takes is for a club to slip into a bad run of form and the whole thing can change.
