The FA cup draw is probably the biggest anti climax in football -usually

Anyone else think it's going to be one of those 'winnable games' at home to someone in the same division probably Fulham.

I can just see it now, sky doing some shit Star Wars based promo 'the master v the apprentice', 'Darth Klopp v Obi Wan Wagner'. Fuck my life I bloody well hope not - Vader killed Obi Wan (plus Obi Wan was the master so they should be the other way around). |

We will probably be one of the last to get drawn out of the bag.

It'd be good to play a non-Championship team who've not played Town in the FA Cup in my time (since 94/95). Only 10 teams definitely in Round 4 meet both of those criteria: Man City, Man Utd, Hull, Millwall, Oxford, Rochdale, Wycombe, Watford, Boro and Spurs. Out of those I'd be happy with Man City, Man U, Oxford, Rochdale, Wycombe or Spurs. Lincoln, Sutton, Wimbledon, Fleetwood, Palace or Plymouth would be good too if any of them come through their replays. You only just missed out . I remember going to Rochdale in the cup in the early 90s, Iwan and Iffy scored, I think Sent from my SM-G900F using proboards |

I'd request Oldham, i have many friends who would "appreciate" the improvement in our game. Lived there 29 years, felt like 50!

How many times does a Club draw another Club whom they are playing in League Fixture only a week apart?.....Leeds are not through yet of course and Cambridge will be no gimme with a likely 2nd string Leeds team put out probably, but just got a feeling? 4th Round Day 28th Jan / Our League Fixture the weekend after......?

I'm in the winnable home fixture camp, although if we pull out a plum then great. The one thing I don't want is Championship opposition.
Rochdale (h/a) would be good.

As others have also said if we get Liverpool I think I'd puke at the media coverage it would bring but it may be one of the easier options actually, if Plymouth can get a draw at Anfield............although a trip to home park in Devon is a bit of a bummer, cream teas in August very nice, 300 miles to freeze your nuts off in January...

Normally I love the fa cup and want big teams but there's always a lull in performance after the distraction of big teams.
This season I would rather get a lower league team, mainly because I don't want a big team and I don't want a team who will be a bit too rough with our players if they are losing.
This season I wouldn't be too fussed if we went out of the cup

Spurs away (I can but dream!) or Cambridge at home/away (ditto).

Wycombe or Wimbledon at home for me, Then we can give some of the younger players game time and should still be good enough to get through. Let the big teams play each other

Having said that I think it's 54 years since we've been drawn against Man U; away at Old Trafford would be a money spinner and chance for a lot of people to tick the ground off. I agree that the media coverage of a game against Liverpool would be sickening. |

Spurs away (I can but dream!). Nearest ground to me, although with the building work we'd get less than 5k tickets. |

Oldham at home would be nice, they ll probably bring about 500 and then claim they've 'filled' the away end.

I doubt very much Klopp would play half his Under 19's against us. If ever there was an example of the cup being devalued then yesterdays game at Anfield was it.If I was one of the 9,000 Plymouth fans there I would have felt cheated. |

Either Accrington at home or Plymouth/Liverpool.
We've had four consecutive home draws in the FA Cup so are due an away one.
