If we draw then lose to Forest then it could be absolutely biblical on here

For me, this was the best 3rd round of the FA Cup for many a year. A lot of Prem teams put out a strong line up, us included thankfully. Some still got beat (ha ha Leeds). Proper FA Cup games. I was very pleasantly surprised, has the FA Cup regained some of it's power perhaps?

I'd like another lower league team next round for more proper football. Cheltenham away please!

Can someone explain the two draws. They say it is to avoid fixture congestion, so if we get Man City away they can put us down for a game on 5th round day. Surely you're not going to know who is in the 5th round until after the 4th round matches.
Round 4 is 23rd Jan and 5 is midweek, 10th Feb. Neither dates have matches scheduled.
My aging brain cant see a reason.

Two reasons - they are idiots. Oh, that's only one.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. Surely logistics are even harder when you have 30,000 + tickets to sell, so if it wasn't done before why now. Seems nonsensical.

Man City.

Let's either a) get this over and done with or b) get some revenge.

I don't think I care that much, there's no way we'll win the cup anyway - the season just seems to be falling apart. No idea whose fault it is, but there's something wrong with the team and it doesn't feel like it's getting fixed.

Is the draw before or after the match?

Strange how views differ.

I would like an easy draw, as I believe there is always a chance of winning the Cup while we're in the Premier League.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the team. Great come back v Wolves and a hard worked victory against giant killers last night. Only a matter of time before we get our form back.

I agree. I hated every minute of last night though......... Anyway this is my 53rd year of supporting the Albion and want us to win the FA cup one day..........so I say bring on Citeh and then
Cheltenham in the draw.
