Agreed. I hope we put out the weakest team possible and lose. Not interested this year!

We'll probably get someone like Blues away knowing our luck and have them back-to-back after the league fixture.

Lower league team at home. Full rotation. Who doesn't wanna see dovin play again???

Premier league team and we measured just how good we are right now

Other than against a championship team it should be a good draw for us either way.

Think it's a cop out to say fa cup cost us. Some teams would have used it as catalyst to ensure they play vs man utd again next year but instead we fell apart. No idea if behind scenes stuff was reason for that or not but no I don't want to exit fa cup immediately personally

But if we did go out it's not gonna be something to dwell on either. Bigger fish to fry and all that

Would like an easy home draw and an opportunity to take a couple of junior members of the clan who dont often get to games to get the chance to go.

Theres no point comparing us to a Prem team, as I would hope were we to go up our team would look totally different much like Sunderlands does.

If this nightmare scenario comes to pass then our cushion could fall to as little as seven or even six points

Villa, Newcastle or Chesea at home, play our fringe players and win 5-0.

West Ham would actually make a very interesting tie for a range of reasons, but yeah; Ipswich went out to Maidstone and got promoted. I have zero qualms about doing the same.

Wolves at home, no lose situation for us, we get to test ourselves against a winnable premier league side, and if we lose nobody would bat an eye lid as we'd be losing to a prem side.

Always a good opportunity to give fringe players a chance to shine and tinker with formations. Frank will use the opportunity well, let’s relax and let the situation dictate.

Shit non league team in the 3rd round to give some fringe players a run out, then massive team in the 4th round for either a brilliant day out with an unlikely win, or a respectable defeat and back to the priority stuff.

Not for me. I’d be happy to draw a top 6 prem team away from home at some point. Allocation 6k plus.

Maybe beat them and see what happens? But prioritise the league ahead of everything. It would be wrong to go out early.

Port Vale away. Up the road, massive away end and give the youngsters a run out.

Hopefully we'll have 67 points by then and will have all but won the league so we can concentrate on the cup. A nice draw against a mid table Prem side like Man united, Liverpool, Spurs or Newcastle.

Who will we get? Big club? Small club at home? Another cup run?

No thanks. I hope we lose and get the sideshow out the way.

MAD - I think no

Home to Wolves. Beat them comfortably with weakened team.
Next, away to Walsall or Burton. Best them narrowly with weakened team.
Next, home to Arsenal. Lose with dignity. Gyokeres cameo off the bench
