FA CUP

Up against DC against this season. Should be interesting.

On paper, Oxford vs Peterborough and Ipswich vs Portsmouth look the pick of the ties.
 
Walsall unbeaten so far this season too - should be an interesting battle.

Such a pity no fans allowed - kind of takes the shine off getting a big team later in the competition if we get that far.
 
Tom Nichols got a hattrick today as Crawley beat Torquay 6 - 5 I think they said he had 7 or 8 so far this season always said he would get goals, shame they weren't for us

I always felt there was a half decent striker in there somewhere - trouble is, how long could we afford to wait for him to get his act together? Think he had more than enough opportunity, might simply be that league 1 was a step too far for him, or alternatively, Rovers weren't the right team for him at the time. Either way, I personally wish him well at Crawley - hope he continues to have a successful period with them.

He was under far too much pressure to score goals, but I thought he was exceptional at linking play and underrated for most of his time at the club.
