Who do you fancy in the 3rd round? One of these or would you rather a “biggy” or a “blandy”” Harrogate, Gainsborough, Oldham, Stockport or Tamworth would be my top five choices. Harrogate Town v. Gainsborough Wealdstone v. Wycombe Wanderers Salford City v. Cheltenham Town Walsall v. Charlton Athletic Exeter City v. Chesterfield Leyton Orient v. Oldham Athletic Barnsley v. Bristol Rovers Accrington Stanley v. Swindon Town Crawley Town v. Lincoln City Stevenage v. Mansfield Town Peterborough United v. Notts County Stockport County v. Brackley Town Morecambe v. Bradford City Cambridge United v. Wigan Athletic AFC Wimbledon v. Dagenham & Redbridge Kettering Town v. Doncaster Rovers Blackpool v. Birmingham City Burton Albion v. Tamworth Reading v. Harborough Town Solihull Moors v. Bromley.
I’ve a vague memory of me going to see us play at Morecambe in the cup when they were non league and we were div 4. Probably Dolan era. I think we lost.
FA Cup Final v Arsenal was a great day out filled with fantastic memories. So anybody at home we can beat to move towards another final. Bring The Wendy's on again, we owe them a couple!
As usual hoping for an away game somewhere I haven't been from the lower leagues. As usual it will be someone from the Championship or Premier League at home
We played them, at home, when Peter Taylor was boss in Round 1 or 2...We beat them 3-2 in decent game. I'm sure they were winning 2-1 with 20 to go and we got a couple of quick goals to beat them Jon Walters might have scored, and that combative *midfielder we had who was a bit of a crowd favourite, but soon disappeared. Think he upset Taylor. Bound to be Stockport or Wigan away. Somewhere around the Manchester area. *Just to come to me...Michael Keane.
Cup run breeds confidence and excitement. As any league ambitions are dead and buried for this season I think a good cup run is exactly what we need.
