I can't quite fathom it out, but pretty much every time we are drawn against a top side we are totally annihilated and swept aside, yet other lower division teams seem to be able to give it a real go.But the likelyhood of us receiving a hammering off Man City\Utd or Spurs is high, would rather avoid that for the sake of confidence and promotion.

Really nice for us to match a Premier side in Stoke, so I hope the tide has turned, but we have been walked all over far too easily in the past, while other lower level teams have made a real fist of it.
Wouldn't say we were annihilated by Chelsea in 2009 or Utd in 2007. Might be the case that we play in a ground fit for the top flight but with players fit for Div 4. Big teams feel more at home there than at shitty little grounds like Rodney Parade.
We beat Blackburn twice who I think were in the top half of the Premier League when we smashed them 4-1.

And in 2007 we were in the Championship. I am talking about about League One and lower exploits.
Think they finished 1 point off Champions league qualification that same season.We beat Blackburn twice who I think were in the top half of the Premier League when we smashed them 4-1.

I think some of it has to do with us attempting to play football. A lot of the time we've played tippy happy not really go anywhere stuff that is easily beaten by top league teams. The ones that do well play tough and get stuck into premier league players like they're not used to. Now we're in league two we've had to toughen up so that could give us more of a chance.When was that?

Teams I would take;
WBA - Home
Leicester - Home/Away
Man Utd - Home/Away
Man City - Home/Away
Sheffield Wednesday - Away
I'm not interested the others to be honest.
Nothing like tempting fatemust be conference building

Norwich smashed us too didn't they and both Chelsea and Spurs hardly broke sweat.The only ones I can imagine were the two times we had Arsenal away, but I think they'd spank most L1 or lower sides at home.

I think it would be decent enough .Sheffield Wednesday would be horrible. no more than 20 k there! but then again its definitely a place we could get a result.
