For me the play-offs are still a realistic target.

We can't blame distractions now - we can't beat Man City ( can we? ) so we must now give it all in the league.

Up the County.
We can't lose to Manchester City.

Everyone remembers Colchester 3-2 Leeds in 1970. Everyone of an earlier generation remembered Yeovil 1-0 Sunderland.

Nobody remembers that in the following rounds Colchester shipped 6 at Everton or that Yeovil conceded 8 at Manchester United. It's all about money v Manchester City. I think our chances of reaching the sixth round are realistically miniscule. It is possible but it would be the greatest ever Cup shock.

Today is a test of character. We know we have the ability to play at this level and above. Two games against top tier two teams, a chance to prove we have the character.
