I'm still buzzing from last night and don't want to take anything away from the team and staff for another remarkable achievement, but...
Just looked at the semi final dates and our fixtures around then, January looks like this:
QPR (a) FAC3
Preston (h) L1
MK (a) L1
? LC SF 1st Leg
Rochdale (a) L1
? LC SF 2nd leg
Swindon (h) L1
Seven games, three almost certainly against PL opposition and massive league games for our promotion prospects. It's one thing to say we can't afford the cups to distract us from winning league points, but that's a bunch of teams we can't really afford to give points to.
Big big month coming up next. I love the cups so hopefully Clough can juggle his squad well. One thing at least is we have a big squad with some capable kids coming through!
