We will go far this time, I can sense it. Convinced our big summer signing is still to come too.
If we are in a comfortable-ish position going into January there is no reason for us not to go for it.

I canāt see us taking any interest in the cups. Hopefully weāll be in a dogfight for survival so any extra games wonāt be part of the game plan especially given we will have half of our squad away in Africa when the 3rd round is played.

Notts County vs Shildon, first round proper in about 2001?
By chance I was in Nottingham and decided to go at the last minute. When I got to the ground it had kicked off about 5 minutes earlier and the turnstiles were all closed. A bloke in high viz let me in through a fire escape. Never asked for a ticket or money or anything.
Shildon lost 7-2. Probably the highest scoring game ive been to

An extra like for reminiscing about Sutton United beating the sky blue filth..
Chelsea to win it this season.
Outside bet for semi final - Birmingham
SAFC - 3rd round as RLB not interested in cups.
Blyth Spartans FA Cup run 1978.
Also as a child I remember the series of games between Oxford City and Alvechurch went to around 5 replays before there was winner. The likes of Pep, Klopp, Wenger, would be seething that this ever happened.

I suggest us having a cup run a little while back and got laughed at my multiple posters. If we canāt compete as a premier league team then weāve got no hope. I would take the FA cup over survival.
Special memory - watching on MOTD Colchester defeat Revie's Leeds and Chelsea defeating Revie's Leeds at Old Trafford.
I would even take the League Cup over survival and would have done so when we played City in the LC final.
