FA Cup Draw

[RedandWhiteManofKent]

Is a decent cup run the last thing Saints need.

Who would you like - go out to a big premier league club in round 3 or draw lower league opposition and maybe play fringe players or go all out for a good cup run.

my prediction - Coventry home

but would like Arsenal away

The draw is on ITV this afternoon after the live Totton game. Totton anyone?

Well I don't want a cup run at all, but I would love to get Totton should they win today. Come on Totton!

 

[Hamble Saint]

Would loveeeee any big club away

 

[North Hants Saint]

Just want an interesting tie eg not another team in our league.

Aresnal/Liverpool/Chelski away, lower league side at home.

Come on the mighty Stags!

I think it would be preferable to draw lower league opposition at home to give the fringe players/youth proper game time, especially if injuries persist we will need to integrate some into the first team over the coming months.
I cannot see why we would want to draw a big team and feel the need to play our first teamers who we need to save for the league. It may be a nice day out, but I'd rather the cup be useful and not potentially disruptive....in an ideal world

pick the kids and see what happens - we're not going to win the thing and cup games are another chance for the important players to be injured. Plus playing the kids would give them valuable experience.

Never mind.

We want a draw we can win. At this stage, we need to be in a winning run, whereas towards the sharp end of the season we won't want to still be in the Cup (unless we're flying, of course).

True. If Adkins has taught them to fly then there will be no stopping us

Adkins walks on water, so flying's a doddle.

I want a cup run.

Saints V Manu in the FA Cup final 2012 Saints win 1-0 Scored by Rickie Lambert in our Promotion Season .

We then go on to STAY in the top division for at least another 27 years .

Who says I am a pessemist .......................

 

[LocutusOfBorg]

I'd like a bit of a cup run so I'm hoping for a crushable minnow for the first game, at least. Having said that, we'll probably get Arsenal or Manchester City instead.

Totton pulled one back but it's now 1-5.

 

[Gordon Gekko]

Would love to go to anfield again actually, I would sacrifice a cup run to go there.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Adkins would like Liverpool..perhaps he could have it as a Christmas present. Would prefer a home draw against a small team myself.

 

[st_brendy]

Just in case our home record is still intact come a month's time, it would be nice to not be taking on Man City at St Marys. Indeed any side from the middle of the Championship upwards at St Marys would be a bad draw.

Carlisle away please.

 

[Tony Montana]

A lowly team at home in the 3rd round playing some of the young guns. Then arsenal/ tottenham away in the 4th round.
