I dunno, bit lame to play them when there are no fans in the stadium.

Sod’s law we’ll get Oxford

Hoping for a boring draw against Burton or Northampton or some such - nothing against either club but we’ve played them recently enough that it wouldn’t be anything special. Or to be honest any of the lower league sides would be good as it would slightly increase our chances of going through.

[Old Man Andrews]

We will get Coventry away.

We can’t get Burton in Rd 2 as they are in the Northern pot... potentially Rd 3.

With us facing Southern teams only in Rd 2... typically there’s a higher than usual chance of us drawing oxf*rd

I’m plumping for Newport, Cambridge or Orient at home.

[Snowflake Royal]

We'll get Cambridge because it's the one time I can't just wander over to the Abbey.

And the draw for Reading is

Round 2

Reading v Luton Town

Round 3

Reading or Luton Town v Manchester United

All behind closed doors

What a waste of a draw. Would love to see Pogba and co. at the Madejski.

Would be worse if it was away and we were missing out on the gate money.

I guess there’s a good chance it is on TV.

Have to get past Luton first. They’ll be keen to make up for our last match.

Great draws. Winnable home tie in 2nd with a real incentive for new manager to win it by fielding a proper team and then a chance against one of our bogey sides probably on TV.

MK Dogs did them 4-0 at this stage a few years back. Love it if we could do the same, that would change the morale around the place.

[SouthDownsRoyal]

We will get Coventry away.

[Old Man Andrews]

We will get Coventry away.

Go away please. Awful.

Reading v Luton next Tuesday 15th is a 6pm KO
