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

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.

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.

 

Very happy with that too, live bout 10 minutes away from the mem so couldnt have been better

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

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!!
