    West Ham away, as the previous game was during the lockdown season.
  • Anyone at home will do, preferably a team we can and will beat to go through to the next round and rack up the prize money

    Unless it's a local match I always want a home draw as away games midweek are a pain.

    It is a bit bizarre, as last year Birmingham were in the southern draw and beat us.

    Bromley knocking Ipswich out, utterly mental.

    Fulham away could be good, the real glamour sides come in at the next round.

    Take that. A decent chance of progressing to the next round, and then lets get a big team at The Valley.

    A league 2 side gives us a decent chance of reaching the 3rd round.
