Will be interesting to watch Derby at Portsmouth tonight. Wondering what kind of team they will put out and whether we can get any indication of Clement's favoured tactics.
Look out for Guy in the stand - maybe dressed up in the Robin outfit as a disguise.

Sitting in between Stephen Kelly and Leon Best (just dont let Stephen do the driving).
Luton/Northampton/Peterborough away would all be reasonably local for me. Otherwise, a L2 team at home would do nicely - another change to hopefully allow the likes of Sarr/Bergditch/Aherne-Grant etc to get some game time and build up their match fitness.
Burton, Rochdale or York away would be good, as I haven't seen Charlton play them away. However, as there is a tube strike that week (starts Tuesday evening), I'd actually prefer a home tie...
Seeded teams are Swansea, Stoke, Crystal Palace, Everton, West Brom, Leicester, Newcastle, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich plus Hull, QPR, Ipswich, Wolves, Birmingham, Charlton, Sheffield Wednesday, Fulham and Reading plus Derby, Middlesbrough and Leeds if they progress if not Brighton, Rotherham and MK Dons are ready to take their place among the seeds.
Chelsea, Man C, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Southampton and West Ham join in the third round.
Already out of Europe, why aren't they in the draw?
Errr - because there would be an extra team......
But they qualified through the fair play league. Wasn't it an extra place and therefore an additional team skipping the 2nd round?

The Football League didn't know West Ham were going to be so sh*t in Europe and had to plan ahead of that. :-)
They have two different set ups based on whether seven or eight English team qualify for European competitions. This season it was eight and so
72 teams enter first round 12 teams enter second round 8 teams enter third round
The season before it was 7 teams in Europe and so
70 teams entered first round 15 teams entered second round 7 teams entered third round
Hardest ties would be one of Brighton, MK Dons, Preston, Rotherham or Sheff Utd. But we should be progressing to round three... if we weren't rubbish in the cups. :-)
