FA Cup 4th Round Draw - Who do you want?

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 6:14 pm

The draw to be made on Monday evening. But who would you like?

I'd quite like us to face Rovers, should they get through against Newcastle. Or Leeds if they beat QPR. Or what about Accy Stanley?

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 6:17 pm

home tie - against lower league opponents.

Wouldnt mind Bolton or Accrington to be honest.

Rovers would be a tasty affair but god help the policing and travel etc.. if we got away.

Home to Wimbledon or similar.

Accy at home. We would get beat again at their place. Not so many good away draws left

Leeds away? Although a big FA Cup game has the drawback of it possibly affecting our Premier League challenge.

Blackburn would be the last team I’d want to play, I’d happily not play them for 15-20 years.

I haven't stopped shivering since the last visit to Tottenham.

Not really that big a game for most clarets anymore. Probably since they started ripping away fans off with 37 quid tickets.

Tbh I'm sick of watching us get outfootballed by these lower league outfits. I wouldn't mind a local derby against Leeds, Preston or Bolton. Don't want Rovers.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 6:46 pm

Newcastle 0 Rovers 1 ...

A new ground away or a lower league team at home, as always.

Norwich away for location.

Let them witness just how many light years behind us they are.

I'd prefer Bolton for that one.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 7:16 pm

Another League 1 side will do fine,give us a chance of a decent run in the cup for once,Stanley,AFC Wimbledon,Gillingham,any of them at home.

IAmAClaret · Post by **IAmAClaret** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 7:38 pm

Stanley at home.

Big crowd, winnable, and gives them a few £££.

Cubanclaret · Post by **Cubanclaret** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 7:38 pm

Portsmouth at home would be a good tie.
They’d bring loads and make it an occasion. Tricky but winnable.

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 7:38 pm

Rovers finished 1 - 1. Good that magpies have a replay.

Curious how many Rovers fan attend the replay,might be their only chance of meeting a Premier League team anytime soon.

Not bothered as long as we avoid one of the big six.

Wimbledon away would suit me. I could be like "marathon man" and walk there - comfortably less than an hour.

I'd save Tottenham away for a later round - when their new stadium is open.

Accrington Stanley v Blackburn Rovers (or Newcastle) would be a great draw - with Stanley to win at the Crown.

The romance of the FA Cup and all that.

accy at home

Wimbledon at home, chance to put right a wrong, assuming lightening doesn't strike twice etc ...

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sun Jan 06, 2019 5:59 pm

Oldham away. Haven't played there for a while, easy to get to, decent away following and would bring back some memories. Even though we'd probably get beat!

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Sun Jan 06, 2019 6:24 pm

After seeing all these lower league teams playing so well.
Home v Man Utd please.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Jan 06, 2019 6:34 pm

Newport
Barnet
Wimbledon
Shrewsbury

Away for tick reasons

If not

Oldham, Bolton or Accy away

If we can't pick, then a lower league club in a home draw

Foulthrow · Post by **Foulthrow** » Sun Jan 06, 2019 6:36 pm

Anyone but Rovers or Accy.

Lord Beamish · Post by **Lord Beamish** » Sun Jan 06, 2019 6:37 pm

I think we’ll get QPR. Away.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Sun Jan 06, 2019 6:39 pm

The FA Cup 3rd Round now follows a familiar path each season. Those at the foot of the PL don't want to leave the gravy train whilst those at the top of the Championship want to get on board ASAP. All of these clubs have other priorities.

Just check out the results.

3 of the bottom 4 in the PL knocked out along with the top 3 in the Championship.

Three of those four would be on my tick list - I've done Shrewsbury though.

Preference though is for the easiest possible home tie

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Sun Jan 06, 2019 6:50 pm

Tottenham at Burnley or Barnet

On paper that would be Barnet but given our record against non-league teams at the turf,we could be tempting fate.

I've seen us beat Altrincham, Hyde United & Canvey Island on the Turf in the FA Cup but also seen two defeats. I'd give it a go though, as long as they are not as physical as the two who have beaten us.

Presume for an under 23 game, or a game not 8nvolving Burnley

I only tick the grounds/New grounds I've seen the first team play. I don't count if watching other football league teams or our youth teams

We got Burton this season, if we can do 1 a season it would be great, suppose if I never get all 92, it's the sign we haven't returned to the bottom 2 division's
