Nope, I'm happy with the tie we got and I'm quietly confident that we've got the chance of causing a major upset early on in the cup. But while I'm keeping my cards close to my chest, Dan the Man our Swindon Messiah is quite the opposite!
“We do fancy our chances a bit.
“The bookies won’t give us much of a chance, but I think Mick McCarthy (Wolves manager) will give us a chance and we’ll give ourselves a chance because that’s what football is.
“In a one-off situation like this anything can happen. Everyone outside the club will expect us to lose, but it doesn’t always work that way as we’ve seen before.
“We know we’ll give 100 per cent, we know what commitment it’s going to take, and it’s up to Wolves to beat us.
“Mick knows it won’t be an easy game, and certainly we’re not going to propose it will be an easy game for them.”
Fighting talk from our manager who looks to be putting out a strong team for the cup encounter tonight, whether thats through choice of his own or not as our squad looks a bit thin on the ground at the moment. Either way there certainly seems to be a lot of respect from Big Mick McCarthy towards Danny and the team that he his moulding for Championship football as he had this to say:
"Win and we've won, lose and we're damned - there's nothing in between!" he said.
"I know Danny's team will play football no question. They'll be well organised.
"Let's not forget Danny took Barnsley into the Premier League and the chant was 'it's just like watching Brazil'.
"They play great football and it will be competitive just like he was."
Its nice to be receiving praise from managers of caliber such as Mick McCarthy and it makes me wonder if a number of manager have their right eye on Swindon from time to time. I say lets give them something to look twice at with a result tonight at Molineux. It won't be easy but I'm not counting us out until the 90 minutes are up tonight.
See you at Wembley ;-)
Unlucky tonight, reading the match report sounds like you should've won.
