    Perth Glory away would be good.

    I usually want the worst possible team at home and to progress but we aren’t going to win it and certainly have bigger priorities

    I wouldn’t twist at an away tie against PL opposition

    I'm convinced RLB swerved the LC tie at Preston, depending on the opposition I could see the same thing happening.

    Everton away could be very interesting ...

    ... last chance for a visit to Goodison, big allocation and a dodge down to have a look at the new ground.

    I’ve got a few younger pals desperate for a trip to Goodison

    Would be an interesting tie as they’re poor and have much bigger priorities…

    Two modes of thought.

    First, just get knocked out by any Premiership/Championship team except Newcastle in the least embarrassing way possible, enabling us to concentrate on the league.

    An easy round where we can experiment with the line up a bit, hopefully RLB learns a few things about the fringe players and we still win comfortably in the process.

    The most embarrassing thing to happen to us in recent times was when we were in L1 and our first team had to play the U21 team of the great unwashed up the road. That showed how far we had fallen.

    It might have gone for some day to day and trying to compete with them but if we played them on the day the passion would be just as fierce if not more as if we stood up and gave them a bloody nose with a shock the place would erupt. It's for that reason I always want to draw them, but I don't have to work alongside them everyday like fans back home.

    Saying that the defeat last season didn't affect me for long and forgotten about quickly due to how we both stand, but the BCB fiasco was a blip on the owners and our season did tail off after that but i have always wanted the gamble for the reward rather than stay safe and avoid but miss out on that small chance of been in ecstasy

    I can’t help it, despite the massive feelings of despair I STILL want this drawer, I think I might need counselling

    I have a feeling it will be a fellow Championship side away. Something winnable, but a hard game. Like WBA or Watford

    I wouldn’t mind either of those trips. We’d get the full end behind the goal at both grounds, 4000+

    Didn't bother me at all tbh ...

    ... I already knew how far we'd fallen, we beat them and a few got put on their arse outside the Wheatsheaf <laugh>


    I'd welcome it only because they sh*t their pants when we take a couple of thousand ...

    ... if we got a big allocation there'd be tears at bedtime.

    Tamworth or Mansfield away for me, selfishly. Tamworth would be brilliant and a proper day out as well.
