If we perform like we did last season v Burton it won't matter anyway, but I have a feeling it will be a different attitude shown towards cup competitions next season.
"We're like a bad tea-bag - we never stay in the Cup that long." classic Ian Holloway quote! Well lets hope with some fresh eggs and new teabags this summer we may last a bit longer for a change.
Looking at the list of non seeded teams there aren't that many who haven't at one time or another inflicted a humiliating defeat on the R's........Accrington, AFC Wimbledon maybe one or two others but the list is getting smaller by the year.....
What should happen is this should be the 1st game of the season to ensure more than 5000 people turn up to see new signings.
AFC Wimbledon would suit me fine. It's only five miles up the road and one of my daughter's competes for Kingston Athletics Club which is based next door.
Yeovil the perennial giant killers, how appropriate...not that we are giants, but they will enjoy the scalp
