Familiar territory for us Hopefully Huddersfield will be a formality with the likes of Rodwell and Coleman getting some much needed game time.

Accrington Stanley. Hoping we give some of our young lads a run out. Vuckic is one I really want to see. Have heard a lot of positive things about him so would be good to see the lad in action.

wow, once you remove any United or Liverpool interest then threads like this get pretty much zero attention here!

tricky tie for Leeds. Hopefully Grayson will start Somma and get us another couple of goals in front of the home crowd.

I'm interested.

That cup should be in the United colours, going for the hat-trick.

I had one with red ribbons on it but the picture wouldn't load up, so settled for that one

It will get interesting once the draw is made on Saturday, most clubs treat this with respect these days.

I'm looking for a Blackburn win tonight, then a decent draw on Saturday. I love the Cups.

Somma has scored to put Leeds 1-0 up.

The bit of Man Utd interest is alive as from the bbc;

Blackburn are ahead against Norwich, meanwhile, as Mame Diouf gets his first Rovers goal from Chris Samba's flick-on.

and another

Blackburn looking home and hosed as Mame Diouf gets his second to make it 2-0 against Norwich

and again

Hat-trick glory for Mame Diouf on his full debut, it's Blackburn 3-0 Norwich.

MAME IS THE ONE!
