    Sorry for the intrusion, just wondered what you think of the draw and whether you fancy your chances much?
    We'll be underdogs but I think this is a potential banana skin for you - should be a good tie.

    Depends on the team we put out tbh. I'm expecting a decent game, certainly won't be a David v Goliath type game, but I will be hoping we beat you obviously. Could be closer than you think.

    You joined to make your first post on here rather than on your own board?


    Anyways, it's a very winnable but tricky tie. Depends on what teams play.

    I agree, think both teams will fancy their chances.

    Big chance to progress for both teams.

    We played well down there last season in the league, but lost.

    Our team will be similar to that one which lost at the AMEX last year, i'd expect. A few changes here and there, depending on injuries.

    Tough match, but you earn success. Hopefully we have a go.

    You don't have to apologise, it's a decent tie, not easy as we'll play our second string, but another trip to Brighton is fine by me.

    It's certainly no walkover, and I reckon both teams will think they've a reasonable shout, but will be respectful of the opposition.

    It's an interesting one.

    How have you been playing of late?

    They're 8th in the league and won the last 3 out of 4. Can't be doing too bad

    Their were only a couple of other teams I would have preferred to you. So couldn't have gone much better for us. That's not me claiming victory or saying it will be an easy game. A good draw for both teams I feel.

    I remember going down there in an FA cup game mid 80s. Snow on pitch, orange ball - happy days! Lost 1-0 mind.

    Good draw for both teams. If we play to our capabilities we'll win but it'll be a close match. We won't score many so need to keep it tight at the back where we are much stronger (GK/CH especially) than when we last played you. Could be won by either side with the odd goal. Just hope we get a decent ref (no Oliver or Atkinson please!).

    Yes, remember that game well.

    We're a bit stronger than last season. We aren't afraid to hit it a bit longer now and break from the back much quicker, been unlucky with injuries but starting to get a few back. If we've got everyone available then we'll give you a game.

    A bit hit and miss tbh - world beaters one week and forget the basics another, strong in defence but lacking some punch up top at times - had lot's of injuries mind

    I reckon we'll see some of the starters more involved for this game. Obviously Long and Jela are out but Aluko/Brady/Thudd/Livs/Davies would make it a very different game to how it will be if we keep the same side. Also, how should we deal with the goalkeeping situation? Harps has been doing well but obviously McGregor is better, so should we swap him in if we progress to the Quarters/Semis or keep it the same?

    In terms of Brighton do you think you'll put out a full strength side? What have you been doing up to now?

    probably the ****tist experience for away fans - no parking near the ground as we have to use park and ride - no pubs near the ground - stewards are heavy handed and home fans do surveys on what the away fans sing at them - and then you ask us what we think - ****

    I've heard Brighton like it tight at the back but can also thrust forward if the occasion allows.
