I'd like us to get Accrington or Morecambe or any one of those sides left who we have never played or haven't played for years and years...

For purely selfish purposes Cambridge or Peterborough away please

I'd gladly take Blackpool, Oldham, Rochdale, Blackburn, Crewe or Fleetwood/Leeds, in the next round.

Oxford please

Who wouldn't want Oxford ?

Oxford (A)
Northampton (A)
Cheltenham (A)
Chelsea (A)

I didn't think they came into it until R3 because of European foot.... Oh

Palace, Chelsea, Oxford or Swindon away

If I could be really selfish I'd take Lisburn Distillery away.

Good evening all. It's always a joyous occasion when the Royals make it through to the next stage of the cup! Such anticipation. Such expectation. So many dreams and so many teams to compete with.

Please do feel free to share your favoured opponents in the next round.

Have a lovely evening and take care.

There's a definite problem with the seeding for this draw. Cardiff should be a seed if they beat Bristol Rovers, but Bristol Rovers should not be a seed if they beat Cardiff. And the problem is that that game takes place after the draw. So it seems pretty certain that the winner of that tie will be seeded.

If Aston Villa, Leeds and QPR all win tonight then they will all be seeds and Reading will miss out. If any of the three go out, then Reading will be a seed. Except.... what if Villa win in 90 minutes and one or both of the other two go into extra time? No way would Sky Sports hold up the draw, So again, the winners of any games still going on would have to be seeded.

And all this could be avoided by either:
(a) not having seeds, because it is after all a very stupid system, or
(b) holding the draw after the round has finished.

Note also that Liverpool will play their game away even if drawn at home. They will also pay extra money to their opponents. So Reading as a non-seed and away to Liverpool will suit me.


Edit: Got the "not waiting" bit very badly wrong....

+1

Do we get a choice lol

This appears to be happening currently. No draw as of yet. Also, Villa lost which means we're definitely seeded.

ViLOLLOLa out ( ), QPR and Leeds gone to ET and pens.

Home v MK Dons. Zzzzzzzz

Home to MK Dons....

I'm happy with that.

That'll do we've got a big squad, everyone gets a chance.

Can we smash these tossers? I hate that they kept 2 clean sheets against us last season.

Agreed. We owe them for the two utterly inept games from last season, particularly that disgrace that masqueraded as a performance at their place.

Also, at the FL/SKY for not waiting until tonight to do the draw thus having that damn stupid seeding question left open. Still, it gives added impetus for Rovers to do Cardiff and send Bristol City to Scunthorpe rather than Chelsea.
