JPT Second Round Draw

[sully]

The draw is on Saturday 5 September on Soccer AM. Ties to be played w/c 5 October.

Thanks.

Might miss the game then if it's on the Tuesday, as I have tickets for the Dome already. Fingers crossed for a Wednesday match (unless it's away at Norwich in which case it won't make any difference to me!).

How many people on here wishing that we lose or saying it is shit cup went to Luton?

I did as I though that we had a genuine chance of going to Wembley only to have it taken from us by MA panicking when Livermore was sent off.

 

[DerbyGull]

MK away please

 

[Turkey]

Barnet away would be perfect for me location wise.

 

[Gerbil]

Why is it a shit competition?
Its our best chance in any of the cups we have of going to Wembley.

exactly!

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Southend away

Luton are no longer in the Football League.

 

[RM-Taylor]

I'm in two minds whether we want an easy game (Barnet or the Pikeys at home), or a game where we don't really have a chance (Charlton, Norwich away) so we can concentrate on the League.

Luton are no longer in the Football League.

ah thanks for that,i realised luton were not in the league (honest) i just thought they surely would be allowed to defend the trophy.

Hmm never thought of that, I guess teams who have won it and got promoted to the championship in the same year would be in the same boat. But they have probably got bigger fish to fry so aren't so bothered.

Why should they? Birmingham City were not allowed to defend their trophy because they were not in the lower divisions the following season.

i dont know why,thats why i asked

 

[Peter Grummit]

Charlton A for me. Chance for a good night out and if we lose we can concentrate on the League.
Bizarre that Northampton and MK Dons are in different quadrants of the draw when they are local rivals. And we can't draw Aldershot (50 miles?) until the semis but could draw Norwich (160 miles?).

Barnet at home I suppose. But on our run of form we could lose to anybody

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Norwich away - just turn the bloody lights on.

 

[Snoop Dogg]

Barnet at home. Failing that anyone at home will do! :albion1:

 

[algie]

I'll take whoever is most likely to thrash us and get us out of this sorry excuse for a cup. It ruined last season, let's not allow it to ruin this season. Norwich away please.

How did it ruin last season? Scunthorpe reached the final and still got promoted.Last season problems were down to Adams.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

The cup run was incredible last season, almost every JPT match was rubbish, but we kept getting through! It was outrageous! And nearly led to a Wembley visit, so I'll happily take that again.

And I would LOVE Barnet away, I've missed that trip. And by October 6th I should be able to go...
