Have we re signed Gavin Whyte?

 

[PT]

is this likely to be on sky sports + ?

 

[Bigdwoolly]

Fair play to Hull, they've got some family friendly pricing - £4 for under 11s, £9 for under 16s.

 

[Carpy]

At least Hull should have a bit of a game on their hands before we play them.

 

[Carpy]

Swindon getting slapped about by Cardiff, lovely stuff.

 

[Northstandboy]

Ipswich knocked out by Bromley.

 

[sideshowrob]

Manchester United are in round 2 due to no European involvement this season.

 

[SteMerritt]

Manchester United are in round 2 due to no European involvement this season.

Yeah, but surely it would be better for us to have a low ranked team at home which we can hopefully make a meal of squeezing past before getting a draw in R3 against one of the top sides, rather than getting a bottom-half PL team?

 

[Jster]

I think the second round is still regionalised.

I think the second round is still regionalised.

It is until round 3

Looking at the draw later, its still regionalised, decent fixtures would be Cambridge or Bromley (winnable) Reading or Wycombe (winnable local games) or any of the prem teams, West ham, Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth and Fulham, although we never draw Fulham, haven't played them for years so them away would be my pick. The rest of the fixtures are tough ones against sides in our league or sides in league one we have played recently.

Yes a lower league side at home would do, although we do seem to huff and puff a bit playing against them tbh...so on the flip side of that Brentford or Fulham away would be an extremely nice way to spend an afternoon before the game and I'd get to buy lunch (again) for my daughter who lives in Putters.

Oh...and Brighton away would definitely please the ground collectors/and that would include moi as I only did the Goldstone tic tic.

Oh...and Bournemouth away would also do too...............

COYY'S.

 

[MarkG]

new grounds for me in the Southern section.
West Ham, Bromley, Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Southampton.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Reading at home please.

 

[SteMerritt]

Reading at home please.

Yeah this for me also. I've a new Stephen King novel that I really should get around to starting.

 

[holdsteady]

West Ham, Bromley, Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Southampton.

Any of the ones I have put in bold home or away are good draws, with Southampton being in the same league not really, so probably end up being Southampton.

 

[Stranger]

West Ham, Bromley, Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Southampton.

Same for me except Brentford and Bournemouth, plus we'll get Southampton in the league anyway, so basically West Ham, Bromley, Brighton or Fulham please

 

[West Oxon U’s]

OUFC are ball number 14 in the Southern Draw

 

[holdsteady]

Worst draw = Coventry away I reckon, a good team in the same league as us who we have played in the last two seasons in cup ties away, losing both.

Coventry away is nailed on.

 

[holdsteady]

Coventry away is nailed on.

Hope not, I have already got my hopes up for West Ham away, which is ridiculous as its a 40-1 shot but the comedown of it being Coventry away again will be too much.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Yeah this for me also. I've a new Stephen King novel that I really should get around to starting.

Quite a few of his books have had little digs at Trump in them.
