Cup draw (9 Viewers)

[HadjiChippo]

Obviously form goes out the window in the cup, but Wednesdays away form is abysmal.

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sheffield wednesday might be putting out a stronger team now too.

They have a league game on the Friday of replay week so they will have to rotate a fair bit you’d think.

 

[Tommo1993]

When did they get one of those?

We beat them twice anyway. They’ll probably sneak this one though…

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Sutton... Worcester...Wrexham

You missed out King's Lynn

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Winnable at least

Then again I’m sure Ipswich thought the same

Yeah but Ipswich played the second team, so a lesson learned Mr Robins.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Hmm not sure about this, great chance to reach an fa Cup quarter final but do we really want the distraction and extra games when going for the play offs which are more important.

Yes of course we do, what's the point in going to football if you're playing in occasions

Would have love to have got City at home

How could we play ourselves?

 

[Robinshio]

Tell me ma me ma
She’s gonna have to pay the price
We’re going to Wembley twice
Tell me ma me ma

Song from 81 when we failed to get to Wembley

Ipswich battered them for most of the game, more a freak result than complacency I think.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

In my time we’ve had shock defeats in the cup to Sutton Utd (played in yellow kits), Cambridge Utd (played in yellow kits).
Remind me what colour do Maidstone Utd play in…

…the same colour as Oxford I think

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Winning & confidence are infectious, so a good cup run could be great for us.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Even then Ipswich really should have won. How often does a team win taking only 2 shots at goal?!

I don't think we will play such a suicidally high line if we make it through the replay. I'd be happy with a lightly rotated team.

 

[Tommo1993]

Their luck is up. Pull yourselves together. Us or SW absolutely pump these.

 

[AJB1983]

BBC website has the Maidstone tie on the Wednesday night (albeit kick off showing as 3pm currently).
Be tasty now the replay.

Stop letting ‘facts’ get in the way of my superstitions.

Thankfully, they play in amber…

Wednesday fans crawling all over the cup draw & expecting a 4000 following again !

 

[Tommo1993]

This is the stuff that gets on my nerves. “Completed it”. Nah you fluked (understatement) your way past an under strength team.

It’s almost as bad as when Wrexham fans thought they’d do well in the championship when they beat us.

 

[StrettoBoy]

We really must beat SW now, which I think we will.

If we get through to play Maidstone then, after what they did to Ipswich, there is zero chance of MR being complacent so - although he may rest one or two players - I'm sure he will play a strong team.

 

[MalcSB]

The finals are sat and sun. We will be tired!

I wonder what they would do, unlikely a prospect as it may be.

 

[Tommo1993]

Is this superstitious nonsense an age thing? (For fans)

 

[Johhny Blue]

So close to being man city or Luton

Save Man city for the final

 

[Johhny Blue]

The path isn’t clear to the quarter finals, pretty disrespectful to Maidstone.

The plan is obvious. Don’t give them a shot on goal

 

[Astute]

The world and his wife will be rooting for Maidstone

My wife is an Ipswich supporter

Gave her loads of shite for losing to Maidstone. Please no more disasters in the FA Cup. I'd never hear the end of it.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Agreed however do think it very poor from fans to disregard the fa cup like some have. And then to jump on bandwagon too

But fans right I guess

Guilty your honour

 

[Astute]

Absolutely nothing guaranteed against Wednesday but I'd hope playing on an actual football pitch means we'll beat them

They have a solid home form but their away form is why they're in the bottom 3. Can see us giving them a thumping at our place.

 

[shmmeee]

Huge chance for us to get to the QFs here. Then one good result from Wembley. Would be mad to play the kids but also extra pressure on Doug to get another couple through the door to support a campaign on two fronts. Perfect draw IMO.

 

[fatso]

We need to put out a strong team against Racist Wednesday and we are bound to be televised in the next round.

DK will be rubbing his hands in glee.

 

[skybluecam]

Robins has to play a strong team for the replay now.

What an opportunity for us in the grand old cup.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I think some people are getting a bit ahead of themselves.

We had a great chance on Friday (despite some on here making it out like we didn't), which we screwed up. We aren't through yet, and they'll be taking this leg a lot more seriously now you would think, which means we also have to go hard in a one game knockout. I'm still of the view we can beat them at home, but the pressure will be on us now. Hopefully the two important league games they have either side of the replay will be a bigger focus given the fact they are still in the relegation zone.

 

[shmmeee]

Could potentially be 6 non Prem teams in the QF

This is our year boys!

We beat them away, then slogged out a draw playing a pretty dismal lineup.

A full strength team at home should be beating them 8 times out of 10.

We will make the playoffs. Already started to make a gap between us and the teams below. We've just played all the teams above us other than the weakest side WBA and shown we're at least a match for the sides above us.

Before we played Sunderland they were 6 points above us. Now we have a game in hand and a better GD.

 

[hamertime]

We only just beat Wednesday on both games. They had loads of chances and both results could have been very different.

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Shame we couldn’t draw Mount Nod juniors so Tavares could compete.

Wouldn't want to play Mount Nod. I'm still angry about their referee they provided who was totally biased against Stoke Heath cup game back in 1974.
He was an absolute disgrace.
