the draw is on tonight at 7pm I hope we get an away draw against either a non league team or a League 2 club who’s ground I have not been to yet.
I was, “hope we get someone like ManU or ManC.” Then I realised we gotta get through four rounds first.... Soooo no hope in hell.
Since there are only four teams ranked higher than us in the first round, it is very likely that we will get an obscure draw. A useful test would be an away game against Wigan, Shrewsbury, Bradford or Rotherham. A chance to see how our squad players fare against the squad players of a decent opponent. But I guess non-league opponents will provide a test as well, just of a different kind. I'm not overly bothered to be honest.
We're probably looking at a 3-1 win for our reserves against Truro in front of about 3,000 fans. And a few hours later, the kind of ecstatic burbling on the Club website and ITTV that would make Joseph Goebbels blush.
Spot on there Mr van Gerwen, I am glad we got a boring home draw as I am in Sofia on the weekend of the 4th.
No more annual leave I'm afraid, off to Buenos Aires and Brasil in December so all taken up. But in normal circumstances yes.
