FA Cup 5th Round Draw - Bournemouth Away.

[Reg Vardy]

9 places above us….every chance to win…..no replays, so draw and pens will do…..double is on!!

[Ric Flair]

The 5th round draw is going to make it highly unlikely for a deep cup run for a Championship side. 

 

I'd only want us going strong vs Bournemouth if we've navigated the next 6 Championship games really well, including the game away at Leeds.

The video of all the Maidstone fans, players and staff gathering to watch the draw today has really tickled me. They're absolutely gutted that they've drawn Coventry  

[Wymsey]

Not sure if want to see Wrexham do well later.

Then again seeing them humiliate Cov will be TV worthy

Win this and we're one game away from Wembley. Why do people want us to put out a second string team? Surely everyone wants a cup run

[SuperMike]

Just noticed that if Villa win their replay: there Wont be a single London club left in the competition! Can't have happened too often at the 'last 16' stage?

Still plenty of Midlands interest.

Very good litmus test, but only if we put our first team out.

I was saying the other day when they got thumped 4-0 by Liverpool that I think they're currently a better team than us.

Type of side we need to be taking down if/when we go up.

A  lousy draw we never play any good against Bournemouth we lost twice last season to keep them up up and send us down  One of the few clubs our fan base expect to win but we rarely do

[TonyN11]

We just need Vardy to put us 1-0 up and then we'll be.......oh wait

Yep. Think the whole "good test" rhetoric has died a bit here. Worst round we could've got the supposed test in. We have more to play for in a lower league than they do. Bournemouth are one of the worst sides we could've run into. I think the likelihood is they beat a similar side to Saturday quite resoundingly, sadly.
