City fan 1982 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 What’s reckon to this one , wolves should edge through , Shrewsbury won’t have a better chance losing a 2 goal lead , won’t beat wolves.

old_eastender Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 It will almost certainly be Wolves... interestingly on their forum several comments that they will need to go with full strength team to be sure of beating us. Rather think them at full strength will be too good for us, but at least we would be going out with a full house. Also good that there are no replays for this round.

Teams like Wolves, Brighton and Watford must be looking at this now and thinking they have a real chance of getting to a final, given a bit of luck in the draw. They would be mad not to go all out for it. Equally, our form is pretty decent, and on the day I expect it to be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
