FA Cup 4th Round

[daviejones]

So we have 6 League 2 representatives in the hat for tomorrow's 4th round draw:
Carlisle/Yeovil
Wycombe
Portsmouth
Northampton
Exeter
Oxford
Newport

Most have gone to replays with one of Carlisle and Yeovil guaranteed to make the next round alongside Oxford. Portsmouth probably have the best chance out of the other five to go through with a home tie against Ipswich. Wycombe, Northampton and Exeter must go away to Aston Villa, MK Dons and Liverpool respectively whilst Newport host Blackburn.

So, the obvious question: who does everyone want in the next round?

 

[northstandexile]

Have Oxford been promoted to league one already

 

[Baz]

Newport haven't played Blackburn yet either.....

 

[Richard Cranium]

Newport lasting longer than Swansea and Cardiff

 

[daviejones]

Pretty smoothly edited my mistakes. Pretty good weekend for League 2 teams looking at that, we've done well for ourselves in the cups this season.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Arsenal away. Liverpool will look at it and not really fancy going through so they'll play their D-team again, we'll have Wheeler back and win it

 

[Richard Cranium]

Well done lads. Thankfully Crawley are as gash as we are so we will still have a game that weekend.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

If we get through and Oxford away, can we play it as a double header?

 

[shoddycollins]

Exeter away please... Dream tie.

 

[eric read]

If we get through and Oxford away, can we play it as a double header?

No.

I want to see us beat Wilder twice.

 

[mowgli]

If we win at Villa I want Liverpool or Man Utd away just for the money we'll earn,alas i think it's just a dream as i don't see us winning at Villa even though they're dire this season.

 

[cufc17]

If we're to beat Yeovil, I'd obviously like one of the big teams home or away. If not, a winnable home tie.

It'll probably be Colchester or Peterborough away.

 

[thewwfc]

Predictably everyone wants a glamour moneyspinner, and in our case we're better away than at home so the away draw would be much more appealing from the game perspective as well as for the cash.

Obviously if we drew another L2 team - and beat them - it'd be fantastic, but of course if you lose those games it's the most hideous thing ever as you've just pissed away your chance of a decent addition to the transfer kitty, AND played a game more than your league opponents, AND you'll get no gate money cos it's just an L2 side.

 

[MrGloverLover]

If we get through then Derby or Forest away.

 

[EricSabin]

Not too excited about the draw as I'm not expecting us to win at Stadium MK.

Pretty much where us and Yeovil are at right now.

 

[hellogregory]

If we get through then I want a big team, like a Man United, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, but at home.

I'd usually say away but I'm becoming absolutely sick to death of travelling to games.

A nice full house at Brunton Park is what I want, but we'll get Oxford or Portsmouth away.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I hope its a good draw for our lot.

then regardless who wins in the replay they have got a draw they deserve, I always like to think a small team who has battled through afew rounds gets a decent draw at end of it all.

although since our poor fans have in this FA Cup now done away to Plymouth, away to Welling and now away to Yeovil this would have had Southmpton away all over it, but alas they are out.

so I'd go with Palace away

 

[daviejones]

Fingers crossed everyone!

 

[hellogregory]

Love that. Everton at home.

I wanted a good side at home.

We have to beat yeovil

 

[daviejones]

Not too bad for us, bit shit for Oxford playing a decent Blackburn side in a game which is neither an easy match or a potential giant killing.

 

[thewwfc]

Man City ...shame it's at home. We'll get mullered if they take it seriously. But if nothing else, fantastic incentive for us to put one over on Villa.

 

[cufc17]

Great draw if we can progress!!

I'm always so nervous in these draws!

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

West Ham at home. Probably won't get past Liverpool but if we do I'm pleased.

 

[EricSabin]

Chelsea at home if we win the replay. Have a feeling we will go pretty close to selling our 6,000 allocation for the MK game.

 

[daviejones]

Assuming we beat Yeovil: if we play the way we played against Liverpool we could easily upset Everton. Pitch will be nice and new, we can get the ball on the ground again like we were at the start of the season and defend as we did at Anfield. Decent tie thinking about it.

 

[GloverGing]

Great draw, will hopefully mean a bigger crowd for the Carlisle replay, and I would think a nailed on T.V game no matter who goes through.

 

[daviejones]

Not sure if Yeovil would make it to TV, other League 2 sides like Oxford at home are probably more attractive to BBC. Only reason we'd be guaranteed to get it is the flooding, such an easy story for them to get Heskey to ramble on about. Plus we've already nearly beaten Liverpool away this season so they know we can take the game to a Premier League side.

 

[EricSabin]

If we get through we will be on TV

The tv games are decided before the replays are settled.
