Hoping for Sutton United at home or something just as winnable.

I've seen everything now. Just been posted a link of PNE fans on their forum taking the piss out of us winning 8-0, when they got knocked out by Salford City, who are only one point better off than Harrogate in L2.

What’s the link ?

Well… A great night for the lucky 400!

8-0, valuable game time / experience, confidence booster and further proof the limited transfers were all a cunning foil for our unexpectedly strong squad.

Great night!

Home against a team in our division. Fine with that, come on blues

[Norbert Rassragr]

Just read the result on my break. Effing hell! Was the new goalie any good?

Thanks, @Sweaty Gussets .

Some lovely goals and pressing in there. Still think Buckley's body language could be better, don't be trying to pretend you're too cool for school. Show JDT you want your place back

He had a better night than their keeper.

I'd imagine the 2 goals and 2 assists did that 🙄

Really? 

Disappointing draw. Not glamorous, interesting or overly winnable. Only upside is that there won’t be many PL sides left in it after round 3 given the draw tonight.

I'm happy with Cardiff City at home. It isn't easy but we stand a better chance than playing a Prem club at this stage.

Agree - no glamour, could easily get beaten.

Over to GB and Swag to talk their way to a bigger transfer budget.

Couldn't wish for a better pre-meal game!

You may be right, although assuming no " upsets ", only 4 of the last 16 are guaranteed to be EFL Clubs ...

[A Northern Horde...]

Ruthless Rovers..and we like it.

That was such an enjoyable evening as, for a rare occurrence I could relax and really enjoy a Rovers performance. What a credit to the club these youngsters are. Great attitude and desire to do well and from Tomasson's comments it seems they are great to work with too. I counted seven academy graduates in the team that finished alongside two youngsters in Bloxham and Markanday. Quite often games that see teams three or four up at the break and up with no second half goals but tonight our desire for more goals was clear to see and we could have had twelve. I loved Tomasson's post match comment that he wanted ten. Keeping Tomasson here should be the highest priority and the powers that be should be sitting down with him now with the offer of an extension to his deal. No penny pinching, no prevaricating just get the deal done. We won't make a better signing.
