Having successfully side stepped Palace we now face Reading in the 6th round.
As we know, we did Palace 3-1, Stoke amazingly did City 3-1 although they needed extra time, Spurs thumped Bolton 4-0 and Reading limped through needing an extra time goal to take the Baggies 3-2.
Palace wasn’t comfortable, but you’d hedge your bets on us to book a semi final place wouldn’t you…as long as we turn up.
