Would also say recent cup form may well be relevant, whichever manager is in charge.
When you've had bad cup results over a period that can manifest an unease amongst the supporters in the stands going into a game.
If you've had a good pedigree you're a lot less likely to be saying 'oh here we go again.'
Despite our excellent home form I bet there were quite a number on here and in the ground thinking it might well be a cup upset.
Looking at the team myself I didn't even see it as an upset.
