Think I would still fancy our chances against Swindon at home, but we should be able to progress further again this season shouldn't we?

It's not as if TM can even experiment too much with the small squad we have. Going to pretty much be our best 11 anyway I would have thought.

I know it's 'tinpot' but love to win this cup, something to shout about, and a day at Wembley.

Yeah, be good to avoid Swindon or if we can't at least play them at home. I was confident last year until we got Bristol City.

It's more than tinpot to most fans. Not one attendance over 3,000 last night even though most tickets were probably £1/£5.

Bristol Rovers away would be good. Never been there before

Well yep, unlike the League Cup and the FA Cup, this is one cup we can win.


Draw Saturday at 10.15 a.m.

I know we need to acknowledge and accept our current status but I am still embarrassed to be playing in it.

Why? Is it embarrassing if we go to Wembley and win it with 40,000 Cov fans there?

Bristol Rovers and Oxford would be decent. Already been to all the others

very few league 1 teams in southern sections in general - Northern is almost all league 1
This is a real opportunity (until we get drawn away at swindon)

I know, it's been regionalised in a way that, other than Oxford, we have a long midweek journey.

When do the two groups go into one south draw? We could get a home game first, and then skip some potential long trips (if we get through).

Kind of yes. You just know all the Leicester, etc fans will be laughing at us getting all excited over the JPT.

Let them. Would rather be in the championship but winning a trophy is winning a trophy.

I don't understand some fans. We're not going to get to the final of the League Cup (already out), we're most likely not going to get to the FA cup final, we COULD get through to Wembley through the play offs but even that's still a difficult task.

Why not take the JPT seriously? It's our best chance of reaching Wembley this season. We all witnessed the buzz when we got through the area final, imagine waking up on a Sunday morning and knowing you're going to see your team play at Wembley with 40,000 others.

Quick question: 4th in the league, 60/40 chance of winning the play offs or win the JPT, reach the FA Cup semi final at Wembley but finish 19th as a consequence?

I'm sure we've been more embarrassed before than winning a trophy (one of little importance in the football world, granted) and having 40,000 there to witness it.

I think we made over 6000 for both home draws last season at £5 a shot. Tin pot or not I'd love us to get to final.

Swindon next tie for me then.

If we want to win this JPT (as small as it is) we should be able to beat them home or away.

It's not a tin pot, it's a paint pot, and it's the only trophy we have a chance of winning before I'm too old to go footballing.

4th in league for me. We would either go up in playoffs or show we were serious contenders for promotion following season. Finishing 19th even with good cup runs would not be positive in attracting players for the next season.

No, nor me. I went to Eastville once but that was to see the Bees, not the football.

Being a midweek game, it'll be just our luck we will get Exeter or Plymouth. Then again, all are treks for midweek. Bristol midweek will be a jaunt too. Bleeding M5 traffic!
