Doherty told the club's website:It's been a good run and we got to play West Brom away, which not many of us here have ever got to do that before, so that was nice. I think it was a long time since we'd beaten then away, almost 30 years, so everybody felt pretty good about it.

The game was comfortable enough, but then after, everyone was obviously happy that we didn't slip up and we didn't take them for granted because we knew what type of game it would be.

We also had the two games against Brentford where you could hardly split us and we had to come through a bit of adversity there, being down to 10 men for so long and then a goal down in the first game.

Our run hasn't been filled with 'huge' games against United and all the other teams, but that's the whole point of the cup competitions, you play a variety of teams from different leagues.

Obviously, we'll be favourites against Coventry, and we are at home, we're a very good side and well coached, so without disrespecting anybody, we know it's going to be a tough game and we're not going to take anybody likely, but we're pretty confident."
