Going to be another cold one fellas, take your big coat!

I wasn't overly bothered about this but changed my mind and bought a ticket, mainly for the fact the Sarge could be involved.

Honestly though, this smells like a lose, I never have much faith in our cup exploits!

I can think of very few teams who seem to under-achieve in the Cup like we do....plus Brighton are a serious strong team at the minute, able to cause problema to any team. Your expectations are probably well-considered. Yet, they have injuries and this is the kind of game where it's possible we cause an upset. That's my intuition on this one.

Wish I was going.

On Borja Sainz... "It's a lot of games, it's probably how it is, when you behave like that you have to expect that you will be suspended."

"This is probably his best season ever as a player and that comes with a bigger responsibility, a different approach to him from an opposition perspective and it's fair to say it's probably been too much for him to deal with it."

On discipline... "It's just important that we of course address things like this and that we talk about it as a club and as a team. "Borja also admitted to the group of players that it was disrespectful and the last thing he wanted was to hurt the team and that's exactly what he did."

On Josh Sargent... "He is training with the team all week and he is excited to be back with the group again. "He will be around the team tomorrow and then based around the game tomorrow, we might bring him on for the last 15 minutes."
"Knowing him as a person and his physical level, I think we can expect quite a performance from the start (of his return). "The sharpness and small details of the game will take some time."

On squad fitness... "Forsyth has had a little bit of a set back. He had an injection last week and is still recovering, it's too soon to decide a return to play date. "Sørensen is still a couple of weeks away."

On Brighton... "It will be a very good test, it's a game where something is at stake and I'm really excited to see where we are as a team. "There will be moments where we have to work really hard but hopefully there will also be moments where we can show how good we are.

Just hope that unlike Palace Brighton play their reserves to at least give us some chance and hope..

I only get excited about the cup when they do the draw for the preliminary rounds to see how far Wroxham can get as it's a money earner for the club. I look to see who NCFC have got , think to myself " that's us out then " and that's it :p

One year I'm determined to go to Mulbarton games till they get knocked out then switch my aliegience to the winners of subsequent rounds. Really follow a path to the final. However there's a risk that I'd have to support Ipswich in one round so I may have to do it for several years!

Friend of mine did it one year, had to go to Newcastle twice until it got to the quarter finals where it should have been a home game for West Brom but because he didn't have purchase history they wouldn't sell him a ticket !

For Cup games, I like to sample different parts of the ground.

Today, I will experience the safe standing in the Barclay for the first time and I am looking forward to it.

Hoping for an exciting game and a City win.

Ha, I am normally standing in Block E of the Barclay, but today I am on the front row of the City stand!

Top tip from a lower Barclay reggular, take sunglasses or a baseball cap. The low winter sun will mean you will miss most of the first half!

Why would any young supporters be encouraged to come back after that?

Glad I was working to be honest. Was it a strong Brighton side or the reserves?
