Someone inside the M25 for me. The lowest league and league position available would also be nice. Easy draws wherever possible - more ££, more confidence and more exposure in the national media. Let’s get young players wanting to come.

Oh, and FTM.
 
Liverpool or Man United at home would be canny for some experience for the young lads in a big crowd against some top players, although they would probably play a lot of reserves and still beat us, it would be a no-lose situation for us really

I don't get this...


A certain defeat, out of the cup, all hype then 2-0 down at halftime, then it's as flat as a fart for the next 45 minutes.

Mags at home. Honestly praying for this.
You'd want to be embarrassed and probably on TV as well??
Yes we've improved but anyone with even half a brain cell would surely know they are streets ahead... They wouldn't rest their main players, couldn't afford too, especially if Bruce is there cos he'd get absolute pelters if he lost,

For me I'd rather have one of the big boys.
 
Mags at home! Missed the derby atmosphere so much these last few seasons. Would absolutely love it!
Plus they’d be the ones with everything to lose given they’re a premier league team vs league one. Still wouldn’t be an enjoyable watch unless we were beating em comfortably though

I can't really deny that. I'd still be as gutted as any time in the past we got beat by them, but the thought of beating a PL mags team while in L1 is way too much to pass by.
 
can’t believe that people think we’d actually take the mags. We’ve got a team of kids with no experience in big games or in that type of atmosphere and they’d play their best team.

Joe Willock, ASM & Wilson would rip our defence apart.
Getting carried away cos we've beaten a Blackpool second string ffs.
The mags wud batter us IF they played anything like a full strength side (which they wud), and anyone thinking different is one kopek short of a ruble.

Yup. If we were away to the landfill it would be brutal imo. Imagine Burge coming up against them in that type of atmosphere or people expecting us to have time on the ball at the back.
 
This.

I've missed the derby matches.
When it gans 0-2 you wont
We are a Premier League team. We finished 12th last season. We have, by my assessment, 1 point fewer than i would have expected from the opening 2 games.
You are a League 1 team. If i can't be confident of a comfortable victory in these circumstances when could i be?

It would be very unpleasant. That said he would play a full strength team. It would be utter madness to risk anything other than playing the strongest side possible.
Under those circumstances, and allowing for it being a Derby, we should still win comfortably.
It would be the worst defeat of all time by us if you lost though. Bruce would never survive, he was mauled after that 4-1 win you had decades ago
Mags away it entitled to 25% of ground , 13000 away fans 😎
Hell on

Not sure we will beat Burnley to be honest. If we do, and draw yourselves, we will play a full strength side.
Without doubt as Steve would be mobbed if he didn’t. Mind not sure we have anything to lose given our respective league positions. We have a ready made excuse to lose and yous would have to win to save yourselves from one of the worst forms of embarrassment
 
Mags at home for me. I think we could beat them. Not bothered about an away tie there as they wouldn't allow us 15% of their allocation due to safety concerns.
