Spurs at home or Fulham or Man U away
Usually 2 weekends left blank for prem and champ clubs for rds 3 and 4. lets get thro rd 3 then a big one. Spurs , Arsenal away maybe as many will not have been to these grounds. easy to get to, make some money, then bow out. We do not have a large enough squad for a cup run beyond this.
Fulham away, prem team, not far away, London away day, good chance it will be 3pm on a Saturday, we will get a big allocation that we will sell out, they will put a weak team out so we have an outside chance of actually winning plus we never play them so the chance to tick off a new ground (or revisit it now it looks very different for the very old amongst our fan base).
It will be Peterborough if they are still in it, if not some other league one club.

No chance on Fulham, it is the LAW that we miss each other in the Lg or Cup.
Agreed. Our sole ambition is to attempt to stay up if we can. The cup would be a distraction and the extra games a bit of a nuisance.
Failing that, get the current awful Swindon team to the Kassam and properly f*****g thrash them.
Don't believe that's the case - 4th round is scheduled for the weekend of Saturday February 8th, and that's when we're currently supposed to play Burnley (A)
But, given that there's got to be a better than evens chance that Burnley win their third round tie (as they're certainly one of the best 32 teams in the country), chances are that that game's getting moved anyhow.
I'd still agree with you though, and will be hoping for us to play at home in Round 3 against whichever plucky Non-League club wins this weekend. Chance to get on TV, probably victory and a chance to get some of our more fringe players a game. Then one of the biggest teams away in Round 4.

Please please please give us swindon so we can humiliate them in that most awful hours
This has to be the draw we want - home or away. We aren’t playing them in league football anytime soon and as you say there is no better time to play them given the current status of both clubs. Given Des is an Oxford man I think he’d go full strength against them too, he wouldn’t risk an upset.
I think we all know it's gonna be Cov.
Again.
Again.
I'd much prefer to draw a League One/Two side in the next round than Premier League, a chance to win a game and get some confidence back in the players, whilst also being a chance to make a few changes and give the likes of Golding, Currie, Marselino and Goodwin a start

Only one draw i’d like, but they’ve got to get to the 3rd round first (which is a big IF).

In two minds about this. From one angle, a cup run is good, can be lucrative. From another, trip to one of the big boys of the Premier might be fun and, then there is the chance to give that lot up the A420 a day out to forget!
For sure, we'll be watching the draw on Monday evening.

Probably be away to Lincoln
I think we can simply put the teams into two brackets of good and s**t. Premier league and league two and below good, championship and league one s**t. First group is glamour and not played them very often combined with another group of winnable and not played very often (mostly), second group is playing them this season and hard combined with played loads and still fairly hard.
Agree with this, though home would be good regardless. (Especially as I'm intending to go to Preston the previous weekend, so not up for any long away trip.)
I think historically we've not been one of the bigger boys when we reach the third round, so there's always that natural clamour for a Premier League tie. However, given we're a Championship side, we have a better chance than ever of getting through to fourth round, fifth round and even quarter finals of the FA Cup, where the likelihood is we'd meet a Premier League side. So I'd say let's hope for a lower league side in the third round, do a professional job of it, bank the prize money and hope for a big draw in the rounds to come

It'll be Peterborough.
No non league teams through yet with only four chances of that happening tomorrow so it’s unlikely we will get to play one this year.
