The magic of the FA Cup...
Yep, you can't beat 3rd round weekend. Nothing better than a draw that ensured that fans would face a 800 mile round trip on the day after New Year to watch an ineffective 0-0 draw with Plymouth.
It's sad, but I'm not too fussed about the FA Cup this year. We always kid ourselves that "this" will be our year. Surely even the most overly optimistic fan would admit that we've got next to no chance of winning it this year. Personally, I can only see it being a hindrance in our main goal which is surely promotion back to the Premiership. A couple of years ago, Cardiff managed to reach the final only to inevitably lose and this cup run eventually cost them their promotion, according to my Cardiff supporting mate.
After stunning fans with his spectacular goal against Watford, Pancrate seems to have faded a bit and is more frustrating than anything at the moment. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh and premature with my judgement, but until he can start providing assists and giving full-backs hell then the jury will remain out on him.
We could have done without another midweek game with the replay, but we'll take it as it comes. If we win, great but if we don't I won't shed too many tears.
