Tonights result is not THAT important. We were knocked out by Newport last season and Swindon the season before. It's been a tad disappointing so far but that is football and nothing illustrates the game better than the craziness of the championship. OK if we're rock bottom at Christmas than you can be peed off, but after the team gel a bit and with a bit of positivity we could be pushing for a play off place again. Keep the faith and remember compared with 17 years ago we're still in paradise. If that makes you cringe you are not a proper supporter.

Well I wouldn't mind getting into the 4th Round at the expense of another lower league club.

.....you could also remember that compared to 34 years ago, we're still a bit sh1t! Come on the Albion - I want to be in that fourth round draw!
Im with this view. If we could not care less about this cup then we should have just gone out in round one. Lots of bigger teams have already been knocked out, this really is a chance to get pretty far in a cup.

Not 'THAT' important, does not mean it would not be nice to win and if we do mean that does not mean we're likely to win the cup. If we were good enough to win the cup then surely we'd be good enough to make the play offs. Neither are that likely but that does not mean gloom and doom.

I think the game IS that important, but not for the obvious reasons. Yes, mickey mouse cup with very little interest until the final stages or you are drawn a grudge match, but after the run of league performances we need to bury Burton by a comfortable margin to restore confidence for the team, give the guys (especially Walton) who play tonight and aren't getting regular 1st team starts a chance to shine and possibly most importantly, have the crowd back behind the team, rather than booing them off the pitch.

I've never quite understood the cup v League thing. If we play well in the league we will play well in the cup and vice versa. Under Poyet we regularly beat premiership opposition and had decent cup runs because we were playing well in the championship. We need to concentrate on getting our team to gel and this sort of game is an added opportunity. 1) to give the newbies an extra 90 minutes to get comfortable and 2) if they score an added bous that they will go into the Forest game with more confidence. At least that's my view.
