We should really beat this lot
Didn't some Ajax fans warn us about that beforehand? Must be disheartening for the squad, and risk running players into injuries as well.
The reports about players complaining about too much running in training is making more sense.
There is a feeling amongst some here that the kids should be starting, but I think that would give Wigan encouragement to have a go at us. Nobody claimed it was novel approach, just a lot of whinging about the bench.Callum Mcmanaman on the Wigan bench, blast from the pastGreat draw. Newport/EastleighNewport or Eastleigh if we make it through.
Home or away?Look at that draw! Don't feck this up lads!
Smash these 3-0 and on we go.Fun draw that. Wigan will have a good time /sarcasmoffThought they were gonna draw us against Newcastle or Brighton again. Good draw for us.Piss easy tie for the winners so of course we'll go on and lose this.lucky with that draw, 4 EPL teams and one non league left and we get the handy draw!!Fantastic draw. Good number of all PL ties to knock others out.
Just need to get past Wigan.
Narrator: ‘They did not get past Wigan’
You would hope it wouldn't matter. Making sure we don't get home draws.we might actually beat eastleigh or newportPotential great draw next round, so they'd better actually try tonight it'll be even more infuriating if we lose with that draw lined up...We're obviously going to lose now that we've been drawn against Eastleigh or Newport.
Man United accepted the challenge.
Yup, very fortunate for once.
Same story last season. Then he complains about injuries. Ajax fans said he'll only give a youngster a chance if he has to, they said they found him frustrating as one player came in to cover an injury, looked great, then was cast aside once the other player returned. That'll be Mainoo once Mount, Amrabat and Casemiro are back. Hell he gets benched already when he's playing better than the rest
Watch Mctomminay still look anonymous and out of his depth.
For once? Our league cup draws last season were great for us. All at home too, if I remember correctly.Only McT, Evans, and one of AWB/Dalot not part of our strongest XI today.Same story last season.

What’s funny?Glad about that. Nice bit of luck. Cup run in the circumstances would be good. Can see City going out at Spurs and Newcastle at Fulham. Might open up a bit after that.
I’ve said the same myself.I’d say ETH isn’t 100% either, his voice breaking during that interviewBruno must be made of cast iron (cursed him for Spurs game on Sunday)
And his signings, and none of us listenedHoping Mainoo gets to show a bit more today
Good, we need to build consistency with our first eleven. Build some momentum.Great draw.
Of course, now we're getting drawn away, the narrative will be about the opponents that we're drawing (lower league). Whereas previously it didn't matter that we were always getting PL teams, it was 'lucky' that we were at home to them.
As I said then, I'd much rather be drawing a lower league team away than a PL team at home - so very happy with that.
Of course, actually winning the games is a different matter. But we can't complain about our draws!Mad to see our strongest team against a team 18th in League 1. But this is the only thing we can win and we have less games in the second half of the season ssonu guess resting players isn't necessary.The bench is quite far from some of our best seasons. Wouldnt even know who to sub in to make a difference.
A lot of depth and good reliable squad options are badly needed if we’re ever to succeed.
Only three names from that list make it to our strongest XI, so there should be no excuses for lacking a good performance today.Lets enjoy this.
