"It is born out of hypocrisy and fundamental insecurity. There have been two kids on the block for the past 12 years. Suddenly, there is a third and that one is threatening to be more successful than the others and they don’t like it." P Kenyon.
In the quarter-final they beat Plymouth 4-1 away.
In the fifth round they beat Bristol City away 4-2.
In the 4th round City beat Reading 3-1 away.
In the 3rd round they beat Millwall 5-1 at home.
Hardly the strongest opposition, but they know how to score goals away from home.
