    Good side that have progressed well over the last few seasons. Won't be a pushover and we have a habit of slipping up on this very type of banana skin.

    If its a decent playing surface we'll win with ease. If not, which I suspect will be the case it will be tricky

    Not far to travel then Rhod! They've done well in recent years haven't they? What's the surface like there?

    I agree with the point about the surface. If I was their groundsman I'd be chopping it up a bit.

    West Brom v Liverpool II "This time it's War"

    I make it 5 all Premier League ties - at least 5 less premier league teams in the next round. We could do well in this tournament if we take it a bit more serious.

    As others have said, this could be a tricky one. On paper it should be a walkover - Top of Premier League (hopefully) vs. League One. How often has a Premier League leader lost to a League One side?

    Most Cup competitions are littered with the scalps of top teams.
    That's what makes them so enjoyable,so long as your own team isn't one of the scalps.
    I have seen The Swans' beaten by non league teams too many times to take these games for granted.
    Crawley will be up for this. Small ground;big crowd;hostile atmosphere;poor playing surface?
    If Swansea just turn up expecting an easy win,well,they could be in for a shock.
