Normally I'd want us out of the cup at the earliest possible time when going for promotion.
I'll always remember the 70/71 promotion season (showing my age there) when Blades lost 0-2 at Portsmouth in the FA Cup 3rd Round.
United beat Portsmouth the following week (in the old Division 2) by the same score (Tudor & Currie) at Bramall Lane when it really mattered.
This season though, at this level, I feel we're more than equipped to extend an already good cup run and if no bad injuries or more suspensions are sustained, it could help the run-in for automatic promotion.
I know the epic 2002/2003 season ended in tears after the two great cup runs probably cost us dear eventually ,but I've a good feeling this time especially if we get BT fit and unleashed.
Going for a 1-0 win by the way v Brum.
