It's FA Cup time. We had a good run last season with Liverpool until we were upset in the quarterfinals by Brighton of all teams. We had to play two replays to get that far and it really taxed the squad. I remember we needed to score four goals to overcome a 3-0 Aston Villa lead to win one game.
We need to have a decent run with West Brom if we don't want to get fired when you consider how poor our league form has been this year. It didn't help we got dumped in our very first Capital One Cup game.
We enter the competition in the third round against Oldham Athletic. All three of our new signings will start on defense. Let's see if we can keep a clean sheet.
Here's a look at what happened in the first two rounds.
