Who do we want in the next round ?

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Dover, so I can see my mate play live. Although I've played football with him, so it would be quite bizarre!

 

[essbee]

Blyth Spartans at home would be good.

ok then - Gateshead at home

 

[Juan Albion]

yep 6-1 last time if i remember rightly- oh to Liverpool.

I believe we scored more than them though.

 

[Seasidesage]

Anyone as long as it's on Saturday.

You're going well here, aren't you?

There are some monumentally crap prospective draws still left for us, so I won't be getting too excited.

Any of Bolton, Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Derby or Swansea away would be pretty rubbish. Bournemouth- I guess some people like the trip, personally I don't, and I couldn't see us winning there, so that would be annoying. Preston away would be tricky. Leicester- we'd have to hope we played like we did against them last season.

Reading would be alright, but dull. Millwall or Bradford: meh. Rochdale should be a nice winnable one, home or away (I suppose Forest thought that too), and West Brom would possibly offer the chance of a sneaky win.

I'll take Cambridge United, thanks, even if it was away. Never been, interesting city, not too far to travel, and on paper a game that we should win.

I barely recognise the Man United first team these days, so I'm really not fussed at seeing their reserves.

yeah but still be a full house at the amex and the history books would record a win!

Either one of the lowest ranked teams left in the competition (hopefully ensuring a bit of a cup run) or a home match against one of the genuine big teams.

The nightmare scenario is any Championship/high-flying League One side, as they'll likely provide a eminently losable match with next to no entertainment value.

Spot on. I think out of the ones listed, Middlesbrough away is by far the worst prospect, followed by Derby, Blackburn and Bolton. A team from your own league is always a bit dull.

 

[blue'n'white]

Anybody at home

 

[HantsSeagull]

bring it on. big 'if'!

 

[repomanse25]

bring it on. big 'if'!

your not wrong, huge banana skin possibility , but could you handle another loss to the Palace? 50/50 chance

 

[JOLovegrove]

The worst draw surely would be Derby. As much as I love seeing a decent footballing team, it would mean we would have played them 7 times over the last 2 seasons come May. Probably not picking up a single result in that time.

 

[Bob!]

Dover at home please.

I'm away for the 4th Round, save the big draw for Round 5 please.

 

[brakespear]

Someone in a lower league than us and at the Amex in the hope of a cheap ticket

 

[Ferring Marine]

Any other London team - away please
