FA Cup 3rd Round draw takes place tonight (BBC Sport at 19:00). We have been assigned ball No. 30.
 
I think it gives us and more importantly Dean Smith an opportunity to see more of the fringe players that aren’t currently featuring much to see what they can offer. The likes of Sorensen, Mumba, Kabak, Omobamidele, Tzolis, Idah,Placheta. Maybe even a few u23s?
True, when I posted my comment I still thought Charlton were Champtionship, warming to this more now

Looking more likely that this will now be an opportunity to try and get players match fit so more of a first team outing
 
Anybody else been seeing how Derby are getting on after their points deductions? I noticed that they had a good Christmas and New Year and are currently sitting on 11 points, still 11 points from safety and they have played a game or two more than those surrounding them. However you don't really expect those around them to pick up too many points because they are down the bottom. I saw that they were only three behind Barnsley, be pretty gutting for them to be overtaken in January by a team deducted 21 points! Say what you like about him, but Rooney is doing a good job so far!
