Alright gazmoose, calm down

:lol: ;)

Lol but I think it’s true unfortunately. I hope not. I thought for a second we’d got City or United but alas…..



Probably is, Rowe will sign about 10 more in January now.

I also thought we'd got city or United when I was checking the numbers on the side :evil:

It comes down to whether the players think they can win on the day.

Clough will have them right up for this and the crowd will be the 12th man. If I were a Middlesbrough fan I would be pretty upset as they have nothing to win and everything to lose. Most of them won’t get tickets and it won’t be on tv.

From our point of view it will still be close to a sell out and we could just nick it.

Plenty of locals with relatives from Middlesbrough so think we could have some getting tickets in the home stands for Middlesbrough fans who can’t get into the North Stand..

Don’t get the comments. Good enough home draw. They’ll bring a full house.

Should be a good game of football though, let's hope we are fully fit with no injury worries and all their new players are cup tied.

If they still had Warnock I think we would have had a better chance at winning. I'm not admitting defeat already but they'll be a different beast under Wilder now. Lots on Facebook saying it's winnable, it is but not as much as they think it will be.

Anything can happen, just not the glory draw we all wanted

Could have been worse, a full house and a chance of progressing to the next round, where we will get Newcastle, win, and complete the NE treble.

It is written, get a tenner on it :)

There have been previous home cup games were we have not open the QLE, but as you don’t visit Field Mill very often you would not realise this. ;)

With everyone saying it is a crap draw and hinting they could not care less about attending then why should the club spend money on stewards if the home crowd might be low.

The cheats and Forest probably got the rounds coveted ties but I bet they both go out.

I’d say our chances of progression were better.

Decent but not spectacular. Certainly one of the bigger teams outside of the PL so not really getting the downer on them.

It's a big club we usually wouldn't get the chance to play.

Hopefully Wilder will have them in the play offs by then and might take his eye off the ball.

We've got a squeak if we play well and the One Call is rocking.

Can’t see it myself, think there’s four nailed on, but hope to be wrong.

No chance. Chelsea Vs Chesterfield, Liverpool Vs Shrewsbury again, Kiddy Vs Reading, Morecambe vs Spurs, Swindon Vs City all have a much better chance of being on TV.

Could have been a bigger club, but at least we are at home. Reasonable chance we will play on Saturday too, which will help those of us who have to book days off eighteen months in advance.
