And anyone who was at that Liverpool game with all the excitement that surrounded it being in the 2nd tier as we were at the time and flying will realise what a cup run as well as a good promotion can mean for feelgood factors and momentum.

The atmosphere was fantastic that match, but it was hardly a cup run, it was the fourth round. We've played more matches in the League Cup this year. It would be interesting to see what would happen if we drew a team like Liverpool in the FA Cup this year. The message from the top is pretty obvious though - promotion is the sole priority.
