Still eyes Cup success

Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still is hoping his side can put their poor league form to one side and go on a long FA Cup run this season.
The Daggers face Blue Square Premier outfit Kidderminster Harriers in the second round on Saturday on the back of a dismal winless run of eight League Two matches.
"I enjoy the FA Cup and if it's your year it's your year," said Still.
"Unless you're one of the Arsenal's or Manchester United's, you always expect to have a decent run, but as a club at this level, we don't expect anything.
"Maybe we'll get through this and have a good run, but who knows?
"I remember last season when we went to Redditch when we were top of the Conference and got beat in the FA Trophy.
"You can't allow it to worry you and it doesn't make you a bad side, just as I won't say we're a great side if we go out and win well on Saturday.
"We're playing better and getting to where we want to be, but I won't be going through the roof if we succeed and, likewise, if the result goes the other way."
