FA Cup Draw

[den]

We’re better away from home. Hitting teams on the break suits us. It did yesterday anyway.

[BigBar]

Someone tell me how to feel about that one please

[Rover_in_the_South]

Could of been better or worse, nothing to fear!

[roverandout]

Sheffield are infinitely beatable 

[CambridgeRover]

Could have been worse. Come on blues

[Sweaty Gussets]

Not a bad draw at all. We'd have probably lost lost to the likes of Citeh, United, Fulham and Brighton. All of those are very good Prem teams.

Sheff Utd away gives us a decent chance of reaching Wemberlee. They're a good side but not unbeatable. 

[superniko]

A bit shit in reality. But, it’s still very winnable albeit not glamorous. Saturday will be a nice warm up!

For the first time in a while!

 

Crap draw that really.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

A nothing draw. Unglamorous opponents, unlikely to win and in the same division. More winnable than other opponents though so you never know.

It could have been worse 

We know what we have to do. Saturday should be interesting

May I point you to the league table, specifically our home and away record?

So it's Man City, Man Utd, Fulham, Brighton, Rovers, Burnley, Grimsby and Sheffield Utd ( tbc )

Burnley will get City away, you read it here first .... ( although happy to be wrong ! ) 😉

Yep, as expected ....

Don't always agree with posters on here, but " Shearer, you T**t ! " indeed ...... 

[Displaced Rover]

It’s just a bit “meh”. Home against anyone or “big” side away would’ve been more exciting.

That said 90 mins against a team from our own division away from a game at Wembley. You’d take that at the start of a cup run wouldn’t you.

Rail strike if on the Saturday…

Disappointed.

Very hard tie, half the money we could have got from attendances and a big dull 'cos we've played them twice already.

Better than drawing Fulham or Brighton away, but that's about it.

I wanted Grimsby.

I didn’t want Burnley and didn’t want Burnley to get Grimsby!

Swag will be gutted it’s neither home nor the glamour tie but let’s be honest starting at round 3 you’d happily take a championship team in the quarter finals of the FA cup

Nightmare draw.

Can't see us winning that, we won't raise our game like we have done for Prem teams.

It’s a shit ground, no atmosphere, stupid mingling behind the away stand and we get beat whenever I go

Some cracking pubs on Fulham Broadway

1 winnable game away from an fa cup semi final is something we could have only dreamed of these last few years.

Swag will be delighted that there's lot of Tv money available and we get 45% of the gate receipts.

Won away in every round so far. Hopefully, an omen.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Good draw.  Winnable.
