It might all be a bit depressing at the minute for followers of the P&B as we head off the Bolton again for another semi and a tilt at the black and whites from West Hull. We shirley owe them some payback for our recent high profile cup misery in 2013 and 2016?

Question is who will get their acts together, who will knock the living daylights out of whom? Hopefully it will be us and the gloom will be lifted for a week or two

A big defeat and we really will see a meltdown on here as I can't see 'saving ourselves for the league' providing even the slightest quantum of solace, I'd fancy us to be Skyfall guys after a loss, although one or two seem to want to go out now instead of winning this game and facing the spectre of Saints (sorry fax) in the wide open spaces of Wembley

Anyway Good luck
