Goalkeeper David Stockdale is 'confident' Fulham will avoid an FA Cup upset when they travel to Blackpool for their third-round replay.
The Cottagers came within 10 minutes of being dumped out of the competition on their own patch on Saturday but Giorgos Karagounis' sensational equaliser denied the Championship club a famous win.
Stockdale, who avoided a repeat of his horror show in his last home game against Swansea, said: "We were going for it a bit more so we got caught a few times. We might have been more patient, but I'm confident going up there as well.
"They will fancy their chances up there but we have to play the same way with the same attitude. I think the goals will then come."
Stockdale insists Fulham should have sealed a place in the fourth round at the first time of asking.
The 27-year-old said: "We dominated the game but a silly bit of defending cost us. We had a enough crosses and chances to get more out of it.
"It wasn't to be be but we have to keep the faith. Blackpool was never going to be walkover."
Robin van Persie came off the bench to net a sublime equaliser in stoppage time against the Hammers as United salvaged a 2-2 draw from a thrilling FA Cup third-round tie at Upton Park.
"It was a great performance from the lads and it is a real shame they didn't get us through at the first time of asking," Allardyce said.
"But we are still in the draw after a fantastic performance on the back of a very good [league] win over Norwich.
"I hope our bad run is now over and, if we continue to keep performances like this going, we will continue to get results."
Brazilian side Cruzeiro claim forward Wellington Paulista will join West Ham on a loan deal, which would further bolster Allardyce's attacking options following the move for Marouane Chamakh on a six-month contract from Arsenal.
"We are searching for players, but at this time of year an agent will ring me up, or he will contact the chairman and the next minute they ring the papers and say we are going to buy someone," said Allardyce.
"That happens throughout the window so until we have got one having a medical or nearly clinched then we will be linked with another 150 players between now and January 31."
David Moyes and his side of internationals head to the Cotswolds to face a team fourth in League Two in front of a 7,000 sell-out crowd and the ESPN cameras in what is the first-ever competitive senior meeting between the clubs.
And Yates, whose Robins have one of the best home records in the division, is not content with thoughts of a few good memories and some positive exposure for the club.
"We won't be going out there saying 'let's just enjoy it and let's take a 2-0 defeat' and be happy with that," he said.
"We will go out there having planned and prepared properly and make sure the players do all they can to make sure we give ourselves a chance.
"It is only 11 v 11 and yes, they are Premier League players, but you never know.
"After 60 minutes if we are 3-0 down we might not believe quite so much but right at this moment in time we have to believe we can do something.
"The cup has got a tradition of shocks, so why not? We want to cause a shock and we know that is a big task. But we know we have the capabilities to do it."
Le Fondre struck twice at the Broadfield Stadium as Reading recovered from conceding a goal after just 14 seconds to end Crawley's dreams of another cup adventure.
The League One side reached the fifth round in each of the last two seasons and they made the perfect start with a 25-yard strike from the impressive Nicky Adams.
At that point Le Fondre feared the worst. Reading, with just one victory from 10 matches, could have panicked at the prospect of being the victim of an FA Cup upset.
But they did not. Le Fondre drew Reading level and then sealed the victory from the penalty spot after strike partner Noel Hunt had put the Royals ahead.
The challenge now is to take that composure and the momentum of two wins from three matches - following their home victory over West Ham - into next weekend's Premier League clash with West Brom.
"It gives everyone a boost. It builds us a little bit of momentum towards next week when we've got West Brom at home," Le Fondre said.
"We want to get momentum and take it on to our Premier League form.
"I think we can build on this as a team. It gives us a lot of confidence as a squad and a lot of momentum going into the West Brom and Newcastle games.
"A few players were rested but we've come in and done a job. That's what the main thing is for the whole squad - we're in it together and will take this on to the Premier League.
"Crawley made it hard for us but we regained our calmness (after they scored). That was the main thing.
"We've shown great character in all the games we've played in and this was no different.
"We stuck to our game plan, got the ball wide, got our wingers on it, got the ball in the box and me and Hunty took care of that really."
Crawley manager Richie Barker was envious at the striking talent available to Reading, who brought both Le Fondre and Hunt into the starting line-up after a busy Christmas schedule.
But Barker is also realistic. He fears players like Adams could be snapped up in the January transfer window and he took a pop at the expectations held by some of the club's supporters.
After Reading had taken control of the game, a section of the fans at one end began to chant at Barker to 'sort it out'.
Barker said: "You can't educate some people, can you? I will do the best I can and one day when I've gone, a bit like my old club (Bury), people will realise how well I did.
"The expectations (among some supporters) are ridiculous.
"We have given a Premiership team a real good go. We created enough chances to be ahead but their goalkeeper pulled off two or three really good saves.
"To put their goalkeeper under as much pressure as we did, for a League One team against a Premier League side, speaks volumes about the players.
"I thought we would create something every time we went forward. Their quality in the final third defined the fact we were a goal down at half-time. Adam Le Fondre and Hunt are good players."
Reading manager Brian McDermott, who has the support of his side's fans despite their struggles at the bottom of the Premier League, backed Barker.
"Sometimes you have to remember where you have come from and in a short space of time how well Crawley have done," McDermott said.
The 19-year-old winger made his debut for the Northern Premier League Division One South side as a substitute in their 3-3 draw at Mickleover Sports on Saturday.
Waddle, who was handed a one-year professional contract at the League Two club at the end of last season, was recently made available for transfer by Spireites boss Paul Cook.
Norwich went into Saturday's third-round tie at London Road on the back of four successive losses in the league over Christmas and New Year but eased to a comfortable 3-0 win despite Hughton making eight changes.
The Canaries resume their league campaign on Saturday with a home match against out-of-form Newcastle, while they now have a fourth-round tie to look forward to later this month.
Hughton said: "Although they've been very tight games, we were on the back of four defeats so, irrespective of what the next game was, it's one you want to win.
"We want to stay in the cup for as long as possible and I think you can gain confidence when you are able to use the squad and see good attitudes."
Of the team that started last Tuesday's defeat by West Ham, only Russell Martin, Ryan Bennett and Robert Snodgrass kept their places.
Snodgrass was the standout player but Elliott Bennett and Simeon Jackson both took a rare chance to impress up front with a goal apiece, while Bennett created the third goal for Snodgrass.
Hughton said: "Considering both of them haven't played as much football as they would like, I thought they were good right through the 90 minutes. They were a constant threat and gave us really good options up front."
Hughton has been reluctant to rotate his Premier League team and he indicated the players who took their chance on Saturday may have to wait for another.
"You never want to say no," he said when asked if he had been given a selection dilemma.
"We've had a fairly settled side but that's why the players train like they do and that's why you want the competition.
"When you look at players like (Marc) Tierney and (David) Fox, Elliott Bennett and Simeon, that haven't had the football, you wouldn't have seen that because I thought they carried themselves very well, looked very fit and had a lot of energy in their game.
"Of course the result is what you want but it's the attitude and the performance that pleased me the most.
"I think whatever the game was, I would have played the same team. It's about timing and we've also got a team that have played a lot of games together. Those players deserved to play, and they've put themselves very much in the frame for the next round."
