Norwich away then

 

[Profondo Rosso]

About the worst draw we could've hoped for.

 

[st albans fox]

dont mind that. no pressure on either team and hopefully a few bad results between now and then will have them looking over their shoulder and playing a weakened side. they are not that special.

Exciting tie, bound to be on TV.

Could have been better, could have been worse. Norwich are a decent team IMO, a very good manager who invests in quality young players. I don't see why we can't compete though if the lads are on their game.

 

[SwedeFox]

It's winnable, but I'm a bit disappointed as we're not likely to be on TV, which is a shame as I actually have the channel with the FA Cup TV rights here.

 

[Mawsley]

Absolutely stoked, this is a dream tie. There'll be a baby-boom in 9 months time from all the celebrating tonight.

Other than Stoke away it must be the shittest draw possible.

Manager Paul Lambert told the club’s official website: “It’s a home tie and I think that’s all you ever look for in a cup draw, regardless of what the opposition was going to be. It was always going to be hard but being drawn at home is good for us.

“We played them twice last year in two really tough games, although it’s a new manager now. It’ll be a really tough game but it’s one we’ll look to go and win.”

Nothing wrong with drawing a Premier League team. Don't know how anyone can say it's a terrible tie. It's not a dream fixture but it's certainly nowhere near the worst. It's a game we've got a decent chance of winning and, if we do go out, it won't seriously affect our confidence. decent tie for the club in my book.

I remember a lot of their fans said we were the best team they planned in both fixtures last season.

It's neither a glamour tie nor an easily winnable fixture. Very disappointing.

I hope not

no it's not a glamour tie, the only easy winnable fixture I'd say was Stevenage. I wouldn't want to face a lower opposition team at this stage of the cup and Crawley could give anyone a good game.

I'm loving how so many of our fans seem to think we'd struggle against league 2 teams, I went to Cheltenham v bristol last weekend and if we had trouble against them the club needs to give it up.

Manchester Utd struggled against Crawley last season when they were still in the conference, I'm not being a pessimist, they are a decent outfit.
