Going to be someone like Rochdale or Yeovil at home, isn't it?

Forest away would for sure be the best.

 

You make it sound that it would be a bad thing to get Rochdale or Yeovil at home . 

[StriderHiryu]

Let’s concentrate on beating Fleetwood first!

In terms of the big potential in the lack of people wanting to attend if we draw someone like them, it probably would.

The FA Cup should be about the fans really getting behind the side, preferably against more tougher and historical teams.

[Harry - LCFC]

We're now the 6th best team left in the competition

The fans are behind the team anyway. And the fa cup is about the complete opposite at this stage, it's not about the best playing the best, it's about minnows pitting themselves against the best.

I'd be happy if we won the competition and Fleetwood was the highest placed team we played.

 

It's about progressing to the next round and the worse team we face the better.

No one would want to win the cup if they had to beat 6 teams that were better than them to do it. Think of what the accumulator would be worth to take off the top 6.

[Bert]

Rochdale or Newport away PLEASE*.

 

*Assuming we beat Fleetwood. 

[StanSP]

do people seriously want Forest away? I know it's a good away day but look at them against Arsenal today. They'd be up even more for a game against us and I wouldn't want a cup run ended by them.

I agree completly. I can't understand anyone wanting a local derby away from home.

First we have to win the replay and that will depend upon our manager actually picking a team to do the job.

Had we been playing a team higher up the pyramid I'm sure he'd have picked a stronger team. He's right to think a team full of fringe players could beat a league one team, they let him down.

 

It was abit much for me, We all know you make changes especially away from home to a lower league side where the pitch is shit and you look up and see terrace houses instead of a massive stand you are rolling the dice. 

 

It doesn't really encourage me, I know they should get the job done but every year teams do it and every year  teams get dragged into replays or out of the competition completely by teams 24+ places below them. I'd of hardly gone full strength just one, very young, first team regular?

Play Manure or Manshitty and just get it over and done with

[foxinsox]

Chill. Not many prem teams had an easy ride. Such is the third round after a guelling 4 game holiday period. 

 

We are still in the contest, and at home our reserves can redeem themselves. 

[lestajigs]

Coventry 

[Lesterlad]

I have followed Newport County results for last 50 years so them down here will be nice 

[Callabinho]

It will be Forest at home no doubt.

[Dan]

Coventry, Forest, Notts County, Newport or Rochdale away. Any of them and I'm delighted.

 

You've got to assume we will go through.

 

Fun fact - we've been drawn away in our last seven FA Cup ties.

Notts County away would be the ultimate FA Cup draw- League 2 opposition, somewhere we haven't played in 20 years, half an hour away, 3,000+ allocation. 

Can't believe we haven't played in over 20 years.

 

Of course that's attributed to our lower standing for so long.

 

You'd think we would have played a friendly or two. We both hate Forest, so we have that in common

 

Very excited for the draw!

He picked a team capable of doing the job this time, it's just a small case of they didn't actually do it. 

[Nalis]

A struggling Premier League team at home.

[Farrington fox]

Forest at home please.

[Donut]

Anyone who is strong enough we need to put a good team out and respect to beat, whilst also being weak enough we should beat them.

 

Like a decent championship team at home.

Yep, I'd take that providing we actually fielded a side of footballers who looked like they had at least met each other before.

Notts County away would be fantastic. 

 

Would be brilliant to draw Coventry or Millwall at home and twat them though. 

[ultrafox]

Everybody asking for low league teams seem to forget... we never turn up when we play supposedly easier opposition. (err...Fleetwood?  0 shots on target????)

 

With regard to the draw my hopes are (in order of priority)

1. Home Draw
2. The top 5 teams draw eachother
3. Evening Kick off (or at least not an early start)
4. Maybe Forest for a change. (we won't get to play them very often over the next 10 years)
