Would have been nice to get to the fifth round, but obviously the league is the priority. Coventry are a good side in League Two and beat Stoke in the last round. With 8k fans supporting them, I'm not surprised or too bothered that we didn't get through.
Walsall next week is much more important, and is the kind of team we should be beating at this point in the season if we are going to stay up.
I'm "bothered" about getting knocked out. I'm gutted. I can't believe some people saw this as a "free game". For me that was more important than the Walsall match. It was the FA Cup 4th round. It's meant to be the greatest cup competition in the World. We've got 18 league games left. We can afford to lose to Walsall. But that defeat means that's it for another year in the cup competitions. We've missed out on a potential much needed money spinner, or a winnable game and a chance to get to the Q/F for the first ever time and create some club history.
Gutted with the loss. 3 pts v Walsall would be great, but I'd switch the results every time if I could.
When I say I'm not bothered, I mean as in losing to a good side like Coventry with big support behind them - rather than losing to a poor L2 or non-league side. They beat Stoke, so nothing to be too disappointed about and I think even if we had played well the whole game and still lost, it wouldn't have been a huge upset.
I think Walsall is a big game. Our games after that are against tough sides like Portsmouth and Charlton where I'd expect defeat at the moment as both are doing well. If we don't get 3 points against Walsall, we could be 9+ points off safety if we lose the other two as well (albeit we have 2 games in hand).
