Midfielder Carlos Edwards is hoping for another home tie when the Carling Cup quarter-final draw is made on Saturday. The Trinidadian netted Town’s first goal in Tuesday’s 3-1 victory over Northampton.

Edwards told the club site that the Blues have already had enough away games in the competition this season: "We will take on whoever comes along, but it would be great to be at home again.

"We've had our fair share of away matches and it would be good for the fans not to have to travel. Maybe one of the big boys at home would be nice."

Meanwhile, Grant Leadbitter, who picked up a knee problem in Tuesday’s match, says he’s only concentrating on Saturday’s league game against Millwall: “It’s good to be in the last eight, but we need to win on Saturday and forget about the Cup.

“The next round is not until December, so this weekend’s Cup draw does not bother me. I will not be worrying about the draw; we have other things to worry about. We need to beat Millwall, so I won’t even be watching the draw.”

Town are number four in the draw, which will be held during Sky’s Soccer Saturday from 12.20pm. Full draw details here.

Meanwhile, next Wednesday’s home reserve game against Luton has been postponed due to the Hatters’ involvement in the FA Youth Cup. No new date has yet been set.

Boz581 added 11:59 - Oct 29 We are out in any case whoever we get , whenever this side has to win a game it fails badly. Away draw at either Arsenal or Man utd please take the money and go home with a little dignity intact hopefully. I know it sounds s--t but if we are honest that is all that will happen..

tearle1974 added 13:49 - Oct 29 We will be drawn to West Ham away. My Draw predictions: Aston Villa V Wigan Arsenal V Man Utd Birmingham City V West Bromwich Albion West Ham United V Ipswich Town I gather there will be a local derby in Birmingham definetly, Aston Villa play Wigan in the league 2 weeks later and with the luck of Alex Ferguson he will be relishing a tie with his old friend Arsene Wenger. And us well it's got to be our old friends of West Ham as we love playing them.
