We Want to Go as Far as We Can in the Cup
Town defender Cameron Burgess is expecting a tough challenge as the Blues travel to Coventry City in the FA Cup fourth round but says there is no reason why they can’t emulate the hosts’ run to the latter stages last season.
The Sky Blues reached the semi-finals of the world famous competition in the previous campaign, only losing out on penalties to eventual winners Manchester United after a thrilling 3-3 draw at Wembley Stadium.
Town head to the Coventry Building Society Arena this weekend looking to avoid a third straight exit at the fourth round stage having been beaten by Maidstone United, who Coventry beat in the following round, last season.
Burgess referenced Town’s quieter match schedule in the Premier League this season as one of the key reasons why he feels it is important for the Blues to enjoy the extra games that an FA Cup run would bring.
“We’ve gone from last season having a lot of games to this season having not as many so we want to go as far as we possibly can in this tournament and we feel like we can with the squad we’ve got and that’s what we’re going to try and do,” he said.
“Coventry would be the exactly same, they did it last year and deservedly so, they were a great team then and are a great team now and are showing that in recent weeks in the league.
