Usually buzzing for the third round draw tbh but my enthusiasm has been curbed a little bit tbh
I don't want anyone decent cause we would get battered, I would just happily take a fellow Champ or a L1 side at home where if we win then great, but if we lose it is no great shock either
I'd have loved Tamworth but they would bully our weak as piss defenders and I would genuinely be worried about us getting turned over and as I live there I wouldn't be able to show my face in town again
Suppose Everton away would be nice to get to Goodison before it is bulldozed

Do love the 3rd round draw no matter how old I get.
I know the cup run may have led to us burning out in league but damn wasn't it worth it? Fa cup semi WAs magical

Watch us get Bristol City. Already played them twice and have them the week after in the league. Failing that Norwich, Cardiff or Blackburn are other likely contenders given our recent luck.
Realistically a league 2 team at home would be ideal, you’d hope to pump them 3-0 at least without it being billed as some potential giant killing.

It’ll be one of the filler top flight clubs away, little chance of success, no glamour and no TV coverage. Any from

We'll get Lincoln away - I had a ticket in hand for our visit to Sincil bank last season in Lg 1 and then COVID put a block on that.
One of the very few grounds I've never visited and I'll be nowhere near a cup ticket if we draw them

Personally I've never been Goodison so would love that. Don't really need another run though, we had our day in the sun for this decade
Can't see us troubling the play offs this season so a run would be good.
I think FL will go for a good FA cup run as playoffs are fooked for this season! Would like our customary visit to Wemberly 
Hoping to avoid in the next round.
Fucking joke they’re waffling on about them kerntzzzz… they shouldn’t have even been in the final
