Hoping we (Shields) draw a 'winnable' home tie in the 1st round followed by a 'winnable' 2nd round tie followed by a tie vs us (Sunderland) or the mags at SOL or SJP in round 3 🫣

Or away to Barnsley, with Sunderland not playing till Monday and mags away to west ham on Sunday, shields could take a good few thousand to a big away game

Yep I'm torn between a winnable home tie to get to 2nd round ideally or a big away day like you say or Cardiff etc. I'd fancy us against most sides at home the way we are playing this season

Well hope you don't get Hartlepools as you have already beaten the Mighty Monkey Hangers this Season and with Blackett on fire and that Kelly fella looking a real player it would be a walk over for the Mighty Mariners.

Excellent Club and my Third Team, after the Black Cats and Pools .
