disappointing draw i m o .. AND Chapmen is right, they will give us problems, Chubby Stevie Evans has been given lots of money to spend and has put a pretty good decent squad together .. plus of course, they will be right up for a crack at the Mighty Addicks

Yes of course he's right and I wouldn't have expected him to say anything else. If it was us at home to a Championship side, he'd be saying we fancied our chances. It would be dull if they just drew names from the 'hat' and weren't allowed to pass comment for fear of upsetting supporters of one team or other.
Really pleased with this draw. Shouldn’t fear a team in the division below. Can’t see how BG doesn’t take this seriously when already in 3rd round, plus a game which will comfortably have a sold out away end.
Local ish game, no annual leave needed and a ground I have not been back to in 10 years or so.
Do wonder whether they will play this earlier than November, as neither of us have premier league or European commitments.
Wouldn't be too confident of this. Can't sell out Wycombe on a Saturday, so midweek at Stevenage isn't a given

45 mins from station to station from London Bridge, its practically a home game for most charlton fans.
Sod this glamour tie bollocks. I want to win not get tanked 10-1 by Man City.
Let’s think confident and not get below our station….. got plenty of experience seeing us beat Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal in my lifetime. I’m not a welling fan wanting to see the big boys in a once in a lifetime game. We’ve been there before in the league.
Without much of a financial incentive in this comp - let’s get a run going simply because we like winning games
Those wins were roughly TWENTY years ago. A whole generation of fans won't have seen us play such opposition
I'll be going to this, but it has defeat written all over it, with our poor away form, Stevenage playing really well, and likely to bully us on the pitch.
So Round 4 then... Draw is on Thursday night after Man U v Aston Villa concludes.
Names in the hat:
Bournemouth Burnley Charlton Gillingham Leicester Lincoln MK Arsenal/Brighton Liverpool/Derby Man City/Chelsea Man U/Villa Newcastle/Palace N.Forest/Spurs Southampton/Sheff W West Ham/Blackburn Wolves/Leeds
PL - 11 Championship - 1 League 1 - 3 League 2 - 1
If that were the case (and West Ham, Southampton and Liverpool to win) we have a 73.33% chance of being drawn against a PL club. Though Gillingham at home and a better chance to make the QFs would be fine.
Hope we draw someone shite. Chance to keep the dream alive a bit longer. And whilst a big day out would be nice, seeing us let in 6 or 7 against Man City reserves isn't that fun.

Would be happier to be dumped out in the quarter finals (even the chance to go further even!) rather than just round 4

The excitement.
The opposition.
The anticipation.
Route into Europe.
I hope the trains are running, and the ticket prices are not silly buggers ones.
Roll on the piazza cup too.
Our first team are still in the mix for four trophies.
Cheeky wee gobshite! String him up by his bollox and take him off your Xmas card list 😎

The joys of being a consistent mid table league one fan huh?

Worst case Palace, Burnley, Wednesday, Derby, Blackburn or West Ham
Perfect chance to turn a Premier League club over.
