Not the best not the worse.

 

Good test.

Urgh. Winnable game but could be easier

About time we did, not won there since last time we were in the championship

Is this a midweek as well? 

A Wednesday I think?

Bit disappointed for Maidstone.

A small, minnow club who have been starved of any sniff of success for decades…

 

with a chance to play Maidstone if they win their replay.

[Lambert09]

Why is this boring? just curious, but other than maidstone, what’s more exciting? 

 

Avoided a guaranteed exit and nice trip to the coast for some of you.  

[niyaminski]

Midweek or weekend?

[TonyN11]

Got to be the fastest televised FA Cup draw ever

Alright then let’s test ourselves against mid to low level premier league opposition.

on our day we can beat Bournemouth.

Would not call it an upset as we’ve been premier league long enough. This season is an anomaly. Players need to believe in themselves and show no fear.

What a rubbish draw. Bournemouth away ffs. Glen Johnson hang your head in shame  - that was very poor ball picking mate. 😂

[OntarioFox]

FFS, no away day has filled me with more stress and disappointment over the past decade than Bournemouth. Never did make it to the Phillips Zimmer frame game, so it's just been annual misery for me. The closest I've come to seeing us win there was the draw when Vardy started the streak - it's been 8 years of pain since then. They are absolutely a bogey-team for us.

 

See you nerds in The Bell a month from now. Fifth time's the charm.

It's a good test if we opt to go strong to see where we are in our aspirations of being a PL class team.

 

But the dilemma is going strong, we'll have played Leeds away before this and then we'll have QPR at home the following weekend that will be very much a key winnable game that we may need no risks on.

[urban fox]

See the "big" teams somehow all managed to get pretty cushy draws again

[moore_94]

Good team to test ourselves against under Enzo

 

Crap for the fans though

From a fan point of view its shit. Long journey, no big away end etc

[RearsbyFox]

Bournemouth away. Crappy draw. Concentrate on the league. 

 

[Number 6]

It's probably reasonable in football terms as a decent test for us. Not an exciting draw though.

This. And there are people who are asking why this is a sh1t draw.

 

Anyway … now we just have to get on with it 

[filbertway]

Perfect game, good opportunity to see how our style will do against a bottom half Prem team. If they go strong I imagine it won't be pretty.

[LVFox]

Excellent draw, a real test against a side that presses well. Will really show us where we are.

Whatever happened to somebody drawing the home teams and somebody else drawing the away teams? Yet more devaluation of the competition by allowing one twat to draw all the balls

[lcfcfoz]

They play man city before us late on sat. We play Leeds on Friday. Extra day rest. They then have Burnley away following weekend, key game for them. We got this.

[Channies6thswan]

Does this go to a replay if we draw?

[Oasisedup]

Neither side will be anywhere near full strength, especially midweek. It won't be a good test of anything. 

[CloudFox]

It will be a key marker of our development. We keep talking about being worried how our new style will work in the Premier League. Well, let's test it out against a Premier League side we should be competitive against.

[Corky]

Hmm, think it might be too much for us. Good PL side away in the middle of a tough schedule.
