[Whitey Grandad]

At home to Arsenal

Arsenal! We play them on 26th too

 

i reckon we will get the bye now surely. It means Arsenal twice in the matter of few days both at home right

Who we drew is irrelevant if the plan is to switch the Leeds game.

I'm sure someone will quote me otherwise (bracing myself for MLG) but it always feels like they get ridiculously easy pathways in both domestic cups.

Chorley vs Wolves (likeier to be Wolves away!) for 5th round. Tough

And so it continues. They’d might as well just go straight to the quarters. 
 

Their luck in draws is unbelievable.

Come on Chorley!!

[SNSUN]

So to win the cup we probably have to beat one of the toughest teams left in the cup.

And Arsenal.

🤪

Shrewsbury next week then and Leeds game postponed.

[Chris cooper]

Concentrate on the league it is then !!

Surely the PL will always get priority. 

It's also the most flexible though. 

[davefizzy14]

Happy with both draws

[sydenhamssocks]

Send the first team up to Leeds and put a B team ‘plus’ out v Shrewsbury In

the cup on the same night. There easy ha! 

[aintforever]

Shit draw.

Tough draw for us. This is a year when I thought we have a decent chance with a little bit of luck. No luck here.

Presuming the Premier League teams win we have to beat the multiple winners of Arsenal as they come back into form and then a very solid Wolves team. And that is to just get to the quarter finals when many of the top teams are still there. Arsenal held us to a draw. We went toe to toe with Wolves for another draw.

We will have to be at our best to progress.

[JRM]

It's not going to happen for us this season is it. Both teams will make changes and Arsenal's back up players are much stronger than ours, despite their poor form earlier Arsenal are flying up the table now. 

 How come they are still faffing around with the Shrewsbury fixture, that should have been confirmed as a bye ages ago, such a farce. 

[Teddeer]

Nothing to fear in the draw provided we take Arsenal and Wolves games very seriously and play our full side without exception. This is set up nicely for us to show our mettle, have a right good go and put everything into winning the FA Cup. No excuse not to as the league will take care of itself and we are not fighting relegation so the cup should be our number one priority.

[iansums]

Tough draw, let’s hope Arsenal rest their kids and play their first team.

If we beat Arsenal, we will then do the same with Wolves; play them twice  in a matter of a few days both away in the cup and then in the league.    Of course, if we don't beat Shrewsbury ................................
