nta786 Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Well, might as well create a thread.... Plenty of teams playing today. Cardiff played yesterday and won 3-1 vs Colchester- and they only had 4000 fans turn up! We should have one of the highest attendances when we play. Hope for upsets of course, except when we play tomorrow! I really want to go to an away ground at a lower league club next round, providing we make it through!

I want to watch Blyth Spartans and other such teams You would think that the TV schedulers would have worked out that the Cup is about Blyth Spartans etc at this stage and offers something different than all premier league ties.

The9 Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 BBC still trying to wrap their heads around the idea that they don't have to show Prem clubs just because they can, and struggling with the idea that they've not already done their bit by showing live rounds before the third.

Batman Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Any real upsets ? Forest perhaps. Forest are out. lost away to rochdale, Pearce must be under real pressure now WBA thumped Gateshead. Pulis put a very strong side out and got the desired result, get the club back to winning ways with a big one Swansea won easily after merson had a right pop at their line up (despite most of the players all featuring this season in the prem) Blyth were 2-0 at HT to lose to brum no real upsets...Derby nearly drew at home to southport but a 90+min penalty, saved them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
