Pool have the best away record in the Second Division, and will need it at Ashton Gate on Wednesday night.Meanwhile, at Sincil Bank, goals by Iffy Onuora and David Mirfin earned Huddersfield a 2-1 win over Lincoln City. The Terriers took advantage of Lincoln’s sloppy start when, in the fifth minute, Onuora scored his first goal since rejoining the Terriers in March. Rob Edwards’ inswinging corner lured the goalkeeper Alan Marriott into no man’s land, leaving Onuora to glance the ball into the empty net from three yards.Lincoln launched a sustained assault on the Huddersfield goal for most of the rest of the half Six minutes into the second half, a goal gave the Imps hope. His cross to the far post was headed firmly down and in by Tony Rougier.Christian Roberts had a good chance to double the lead two minutes later but shot wide. Pool forced Steve Phillips in the Bristol goal to save from Tony Sweeney and Hugh Robertson.In the second half, Pool’s Eifion Williams was brought down by Phillips, but no penalty was awarded. Everyone says we’ve had the luck of the draw, but we’ve still had to win the games.

Telford was probably one of the hardest games we’ve played in a while. Now we’ve got to take the opportunity we’ve been offered.”One man, more the Wiser after nearly two decades in the game, will be determined to ensure that they do Perhaps then, he’ll spare us a few words…. Huddersfield Town and Bristol City took positive strides towards their respective divisional play-off final dates at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in two weeks’ time with home legs to follow. “Eric Cantona and Bryan Robson, they were absolute legends where I was concerned,” said Cahill, who scored the semi-final winner at the Stadium of Light. “I watched them in finals back home and now it’s an absolute dream just to be a part of the competition. “With the greatest respect to the other finals, there were not too many foreigners involved in our game then,” said Wilkins. “Our Premier League has gone to a different level – so I would say this would probably be the biggest shock of all time if the boys can pull it off.”Can they do so? Millwall do have sufficient quality performers, including the Australian-born (albeit of a Dagenham father) Tim Cahill and Paul Ifill, to trouble a suspect rearguard.

The former used to mimic United’s players of the Nineties in the back garden of his Sydney home before, with the help of a parental loan, he arrived in Britain and successfully completed a trial at The Den. Nevertheless, to Cardiff they will venture on Saturday, bearing the slogan, presumably, in view of the antipathy from many quarters to their opponents, “Everyone loves us. We don’t care”.Should the Lions triumph, and provide humiliation for Ferguson at the end of an already unsatisfactory season, it would eclipse such notable victories as Sunderland against Leeds in 1973, and that of Wimbledon against Liverpool 15 years later. No fault of theirs, but Walsall, Telford United, Burnley, Tranmere Rovers and Sunderland scarcely represent a perilous passage to the Millen- nium Stadium for Wise’s team.
