Unsure if that is a good thing or not…

Definitely a good thing for Frank, it means players get another break, those carrying knocks have time to recover, and the players can get some good tactical work done on the training ground.

Maybe that's why Frank made 8 changes for the 3rd round tie.
You dont leave out players like Grimes and Rushworth if you want to win a game.

It's not as we will have to probably play on a Tuesday or Wednesday in between Saturday fixtures not checked.

 

[clint van damme]

Was planning on going but going to be difficult now

We’re already due to be at home to Preston on March 11th

Unless they brought the game forward to w/c 2nd March could well be backlogged to the very back end of the season

Some crap games in that draw tho

we would have had Fulham at home. Glad we lost

Bristol City is an attractive away game and will now be midweek which makes it harder for sure to get a good result. Seen a win and draw midweek though in recent times albeit with Gus and Vik in the team (great late winner).

 

[robbiethemole]

Lesta v Saints play twice in League and Cup inside a week, and Ipswich the same v Wrexham

 

[alexccfc99]

Suppose it is all subjective on form isn’t it - If we were to go on a good run of form in the build up to that then I’d be a bit cheesed off to see a break in play disrupt our rhythm

If we are in a rut, the break is probably welcomed

Probably wouldn't of worked out like that

That would be perfect to bring the Preston game forward, makes total sense

 

[Liquicon]

Ball numbers would have been the same. But the gods would have conspired to give us Birmingham or Wrexham away!

The numbers are allocated alphabetically I think so the draw would have been totally different. The idea we would have got them has always been total nonsense

For this draw, it was based on tie numbers from the previous round - so it would have been Fulham at home.

Spot on

The only benefit for that would’ve been 20 loyalty points. Other than that, not bothered about playing Fulham.

Yep, we’d probably get beat and, no disrespect to Fulham cause I think they are good club but it is hardly a game to warrant get excited about losing (Unlike a game against Arsenal, City etc.)

At least my apathy towards Saturday was justified anyway and all these Stoke fans have been giving it big licks just to end up with a vanilla tie that they will lose

I'd rather have the 3 points we got there than win a pointless cup tie in front of a man and his dog.

We're the right side over here...

Oh dear. Had a nightmare on this one. Love how W is first in the alphabet...https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/fa-cup-fourth-round-draw/

Damn it! I thought we would have played all our midweek away games by then.

Last thing we need. Much prefer a 3pm away day and statistically better for us.

 

[Macca1987]

Think we should all be Vale fans for the 4th round now lol

Don't actually think it is this season.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Don't actually think it is this season.

Yes....but historically.

Our record in midweek away matches is horrendous like most teams statistically.

Pretty much played all our midweek games mostly away.

Need to take adavantage of the midweek home games.

Really would have been ideal...Saturday 3pm.

 

[alexccfc99]

It isn't out of the question Vale spring a bit of a surprise with it being at Vale Park in fairness, especially if Bristol City put half a side out

I am not really too fussed when the game will be, it can work either way depending on our form and injury situation at the time

I am however cheesed off at one of the better away trips of the season being shifted to midweek and the prospect of a short notice 1/2 day to work

 

[Macca1987]

Sons 25th birthday, so was looking for a great away trip

 

[stevefloyd]

we would have had Fulham at home. Glad we lost

if we had played Fulham we would have made sure Haji clipped his toe nails

 

[Balli001]

I am at the darts that weekend so would be a result if Bristol City won

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Need Shippers to two foot any decent Brizzle players.
