looking at the rest of the draw:
Man City v Crystal Palace or Newcastle
Fulham v Derby
Liverpool v Swansea
MK Dons v Sheffield United
Bournemouth v West Brom
Shrewsbury v Chelsea
Tottenham v Brighton
Stoke v Southampton
so if we did manage to beat Bournemouth (which you imagine with a strong side then we should), we could easily get a winnable 1/4 final, so we should really be targetting this competition now
