Sunday 1pm on ITV in the build up to Eastleigh v reading.

We are ball 12.

Who do we want? Wouldn't mind a decent cup run this year so hopefully a lower league team away

Didn’t help us last year having a non League team. Would prefer a big PL team home or away to be honest.

We now have a squad with more depth in quality (awaits the usual) and should be able to see off all L1 and below clubs (we'd have beaten Wrexham with eleven men). Either a home game where there will be a large away following ££££s or somewhere that isn't a ballache to get to (e.g. Barrow? - although a few 92 ers will want them)

Home game against a big club. Make some money, Doug’s planning the half and half scarfs already

Would be nice if we take it seriously this year. Last year's third round was one of the rare times I think Robins got it wrong.

Villa, Spurs or Liverpool would be nice. We'll be nowhere near the playoffs this year so hopefully Robins will see this as an opportunity for a good run.

Big premiership club home or away. Spurs away would be great.

Robins/you/we want a good run, doesn't equate with drawing Villa, Spurs or Liverpool.!!

It was still a game we were very unlucky to lose. Between Moore shitting the bed and the penalty + red card it's a game we win on any other day.

We could have won easily if we had wanted to, but we only started playing when we made the substitutions. We had Waghorn and Tavares upfront until then!

We’re 8 points off playoffs with 84 points left to play for…

League is absolutely the priority!

Some club not that high in league structures at home. Enjoy a home game with a decent crowd at a much lower price. The larger squad size, as some mentioned , should make our efforts a lot more genuine.

Alternative for me, Preston away. Good local trip to me and go for a win and be in dreamland.

Wrexham at home play properly and absolutely smash them and embarrass them plus it will be a tv fixture.

Everton away. Reasonably local for me and the last chance to do Goodison.

Not bothered tbh. Just hope they have a good time picking out the balls. Most importantly hope the players have fun.

Anyone massive away, so we can watch the bitching and crying from the once a year brigade about priority points not being fair

A team we can beat who will bring decent numbers. Bradford, Wrexham (part 2), Portsmouth, Derby and Wallsall come to mind. Would be good to play a few rounds with relatively easy wins and then Villa or a big 6 club at home in round 5 in front of the TV cameras ££.

As an aside here is the prize money for getting through the rounds Emirates FA Cup prize fund
Given it will be likely City, Utd, Liverpool, Spurs etc in the final. I dont know why they don't half the prize money for the final and distribute it across the preliminary round prize funds. Would make a huge difference and it's not like at the final stage the big clubs are thinking about the prize money!

As always would love a big team, but have a feeling it will be Newport or Wimbledon
