Wanderers were reminded today that their bid for FA Cup glory should not be allowed to hi-jack their promotion drive.

Skipper Mike Whitlow described next Wednesday's derby duel with Manchester City at Maine Road as "a massive game".

Wanderers will walk out at Wembley tomorrow knowing they still have an outside chance of making the play-offs and achieving a dream double. But they also know their season could effectively be over in a fortnight - they take on Walsall at the Reebok next week and travel to West Brom the following Saturday.

"The semi-final and the next three games are going to sort it out," he explained. "It would be great to finish the season with a big cheesey smile.

"We want to win the FA Cup and we want to win the play-offs at Wembley and we've got the potential to do it. This is a big, big month for us."
