Got to believe that is winnable.
Possibly but without Jamal Lowe who is not allowed to play in this next Cup match?
Someone on another MB made the good point that it's unfair that Chumps and Prem clubs won't have to worry about suspensions due to multiple yellow cards at the 4th round stage because they only join in at round 3.
Big disadvantage for the lower league clubs!
This needs looking at......perhaps wipe all yellows at the round 3 stage?
Mr Catlin feels exactly the same way and has raised this with the FA. To their credit, the FA have reacted sympathetically, but not sympathetically enough to wipe out his first yellow.

How about if we'd drawn another L2 team that hadn't got anyone suspended. We would then gain an unfair advantage in that we'd both have played the same number of rounds.

Maybe there is no fair answer other than yellows and reds in all competitions count the same.

Pompey v. QPR will be on the Saturday (26th) at 3pm.

Not selected for TV, either in UK or overseas. Not surprising as it is possibly the least interesting tie in the whole round.

Oh I don't know. Doncaster Rovers v Oldham Athletic takes a bit of beating in the "dull as ditchwater" stakes.

Very true SB but have to say Derby looked a decent side and to be honest we have more pressing issues to worry about.

I agree. If (and I'm still not overly confident) we happen to get promoted this season, Derby is an example of the standard of team we would be playing against next season - and we are nowhere near good enough to compete at that level at the moment.

The defensive 5 are well sorted. The attacking 4 are well sorted. One of the holding 2 is well sorted. It remains to be seen how well and how quickly Bryn Morris fits in.
