Can we not play Crewe, Morecambe or Carlisle?
An away match at one of those would suit me because I could get back from on the night without taking the car.

Leeds at home, get em knocked out early

Leeds at home, get em knocked out early

Agreed

 

[Dour]

Aren't there also the teams who were given a bye?

 

[homer]

Leeds at home, get us knocked out of this godawful competition early

Controversial, but fair enough

We want easy games for as long as possible, and Leeds are one of the better teams in the competition.

If we lose it might knock the players' confidence, and league form could suffer.

Let the better teams knock each other out, I'd be happy not to play a decent team until the final.

You know what I'm going to say....

Is it something to do with cakes ?

 

[Hazzman]

Bury, Carlisle, Chester, Darlo, Huddersfield, Lincoln, Rochdale, RovRum....

Chester please. They are awful.

To take leeds on now would be a good idea ,it would be a good test on the team IMO.

I'm not interested in a good test, I'm interested in keeping the unbeaten run going. Losing to a team below us in the league won't be good for confidence. A game against some League Two no hopers would be better...assuming we win it!

First and Second round are drawn on a 4-region basis.

We can't play Chester in the next round. It will be one of the 7 north/east clubs left in the competition.

Good grief

Just when I thought that this competition couldn't possibly get any more Mickey Mouse, it goes and produces another winner

That'll explain why there were so many local derbies in the first round. Leicester had by far the furthest journey last night - was it fixed by the league to make it more difficult for us?

It takes the Biscuit doesn't it...the Empire Biscuit

The way they've divided the Northern section is ridiculous.

Could be our only chance to visit wembley for a good few years.....
