Who DON'T you want in the 3rd round?

[Dirty Dave]

Just following on from the thread about the next round, who who would you rather us avoid?

For me, an anti-climax and home tie home to someone like Preston or Swansea City

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

I wouldn't want somebody from league 1 or 2.

 

[Statto]

Barnsley away.

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Peterborough Utd / Scunthorpe / Doncaster - not exactly glamour

 

[Vic's Stick]

Palace at home - couldn't face the shame if we lost

 

[sam86]

Staines...

 

[coventrygull]

Coventry City. Would hate to get slaughtered by them

 

[Notters]

Peterborough away would be awesome, perhaps the last chance we'd ever get to stand on that terrace.

Will it be gone by next season then?

 

[Insel affe]

Anyone away

You have to get rid of them within two years of being in the championsip, even if you're relegated. They may keep them for another year, they may not.

 

[Barry Izbak]

For every glamour tie in the 3rd round there are half a dozen unexciting prospects; Notts County, Brentford, Carlisle, Lincoln, Scunthorpe, Bristol City, Barnsley.

 

[fatbadger]

1. away
2. to a team in the north
3. which I haven't been to.

Odd rule. I didn't know that.

Anyway, I want a glamour tie or a winnable one. Most teams are neither.

 

[Selhurst Wonderland]

Basically ANYONE in the championship bar Newcastle away is shit as we'd lose and it's not interesting.

Anyone in the premiership that ISN'T United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Villa or Portsmouth would be SHIT and we'd lose.

More or less anyone in our league would beat us so that would be SHIT too.

And as we've seen today, there is no guarantee if we play a lower league team.

On balance, I hope we get an away tie at a ground I've never been to and just go out meekly but without too much embarrassment.

Surely you jest?
A tie with your biggest rivals wouldn't be interesting?
I hope we draw eachother.A decent gate,much needed revenue and a spicy,tasty derby to boot!

 

[Blackadder]

No Championship club apart from a visit to ST James Park.

but selhurst, surley you don't want us too embarrass you lot!!

 

[Giraffe]

Luton. We might lose and I work with a Luton fan
Sheff Utd - As above, except we will definitely lose
Leeds - As above

 

[Beach Hut]

Fulham or Portsmouth away would be fun
