After struggling to get out of D2 and D3 formations in previous rounds – Reading had to go through a replay against Cardiff and Blackpool – no doubt a duel against a Premiership formation will be all the more complicated to win .
What is more, not against any PL team. Although promoted and finding the elite of English football for the first time since 2007, Sheffield had an excellent season with an 8th place after 27 days, far from the objectives of maintaining the club! Qualification in cut to embellish this beautiful 2019-2020 exercise a little more?
