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

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

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

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.

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

How could we play ourselves?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Robins has to play a strong team for the replay now.
What an opportunity for us in the grand old cup.

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.

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.

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.
