A part of me is wanting a Leeds win - and then drawn against us.

First you wanted us to play Blackburn and now Leeds.
Our priority is the League. A cup run would be good, but we don't don't want the distraction of a high-profile match against a big rival. A winnable home tie against a team that we have no real issues with would be the best

Correct.

Are you wanting me to say I still want us to play Rovers, even though they are no longer in the competition?

Blimey, how negative are you!

Try turning that into a positive and try again.

Really looking forward to Marine v Tottenham, regardless of the score it will be a day to be remembered for Marine.

They have just signed Clitheroe player manager and ex Burnley player Dave Lynch for today and to put into context play in the same league as Colne, Ramsbottom, Clitheroe, Brighouse etc, just an amazing achievement.

Also well done to Spurs fans, so far they have bought 18,436 virtual tickets so far for todays game, with all money going to Marine to help them out during the pandemic.

Just a great FA Cup story.

Burnley feel in the Morecambe team today, loan players Adam Philips and Ryan Cooney both play and also Harry Davis, born in Burnley, son of Steve Davis, at centre back starts.

Just looked at the Leeds starting lineup... looks to me like they have their defence and have the likes of Hernandez, Alioski, and Shackleton starting... along with Costa and Rodrigo.... pretty much their strongest side other than Phillips.

Unless they get their defence sorted it could very well be second season syndrome.

They will cheat the system (as Sean Dyche calls it), which I think is a great definition. They will spend yet another £100-150 million to buy their way out of the drop.

Not sure what the fuss is over Bielsa. It's money that will ultimately keep them up.

First goal saw a League Two player go all Maradona and dribble past 4 Leeds defenders and bury the ball into the bottom corner, then a few minutes later, a through ball was played and they scored another by beating the ‘keeper at the near post

Crawley first scorer was released by Spurs , had a car crash in 2017. Showed why he was a junior at Spurs. His first senior league goal. If he plays like that more often he will soon be playing in a higher league.

Now 3-0.

Absolutely right. I don't think I've watched a cup tie where the commentators are actually willing the club in the higher position to win the game.

How can anyone take the competion seriously anymore when we struggle to beat the likes of MK Dons and Leeds get thrashed at Crawley.

Most clubs outside the top two leagues find the competition a nuisance that gets in the way of their league campaigns, thus their reasons for feilding weakened sides
