I guess it's up to AP how seriously he wants to take this (also BR as they are riding high).

I know winning every game is a must...BUT imo I would rather we were not in the FA cup this season....

 

I would not be too fussed if we were knocked out of the cup at brizzle and come away with no injuries and suspensions....but then you dont want a league rival to beat you..

 

horrible draw for us..

 

I bet lambert is loving it

Looks like I'm the only person pleased with this draw. Live in Bristol and I'm working in the morning, so it's probably the only fixture I could realistically have gotten to. Bring 'em on.

Tough draw but on the bright side, a chance to revenge them knocking us out a couple of seasons ago, a chance to see if we have the will or battle for a cup run, and no loss of face if we lose like there would have been if a non league side put us out.

They've all got to be beaten - bring 'em on - it'll be good therapy & a test of the depth of our squad.

 

If we can't look at beating them then should we take ourselves seriously.

 

Prediction BR 1- Saints 3 (we always win 3-1 :-))

I wonder how many fans we will be taking there. I have no doubt we will take a brilliant following for the away tie in the League, but what about an FA Cup 1st round tie??? I hope we take a lot, as they bought a lot to our place. One-upmanship and all that.

Have we ever had a non league team in the cup? I thought it had to be our best chance yet this season, the odds of getting a decent team away were pretty remote. However, we've managed it.

I think Bournemouth went through year after year getting Bristol City or Rovers away in the cup. At least it's not too far to travel.

But there is always a chance of winning and getting Pompey in the third round. I would back us to win...

Tough tie.Draw at Bristol and win the replay,they were lucky to beat us a few weeks ago.We will have our revenge.

Tough draw away to Bristol Lambert will love it, time to revenge that awful cup defeat couple of years ago. Would have liked AP to be able to rest a few for this game, but if he wants us to keep on the winning trail then he will have to play a pretty much full strength side.

They were all over us for the last half hour, I'm not sure if lucky is accurate.

Will be like a home game for some of us. It's times like this that I wish I bought a membership. Almost.

 

It's times like this when it needs repeating that memberships aren't for sale this year.

They did loose at home to Yoevil yesterday...

Mixed feelings about the FA Cup this year.

 

Would love to have got an absolute minnow, for the laughs but really can't see the point. We should save ourselves for the league and the JPT IMO.

Brilliant draw! We can get revenge for the awful way that they unceremoniously dumped us out the last time. And with luck, the player to apply the fatal coup de grace will be Lambert. Although we are now in the same division, I'd argue that this is a better team than then, with a better manager, not difficult when we are talking Dodd and Gorman. Now is the right time to play them again and turn the tables.

Don't really care about the FA cup.......... for once in my footballing life.

 

Would much rather us win the JPT and aim for playoffs this year instead.

 

But meh, only my opinion

 

Have to say I agree, far too much chance of getting needless injuries in a competition we have no chance of winning. Would be nice to get to the 3rd round a draw the skates at SMS though, we would kick their arses f'sure.;)

Have to say, if we had to get an away draw then this was the one to get.

 

Not much motivation required - just reply the video of that game & the game at SMS earlier this season. Key word - Revenge!!
