Same Pompey team that started at Reading last week, don't look anything special.
Played 15
Won 10
Drawn 5
Lost 0.
Doing OK me thinks.
Just shows how poor league one is this season ( including us) because Pompey look awful.
They've beaten Peterborough and Barnsley, drawn with Derby and Stevenage. Have yet to faced Bolton | Oxford, or their bogey team... Us
However they can only get results against what's in front of them - But they've been in this position before now... So wouldn't be paying out if I was a bookie.
Loved the awkwardness from the Interviewer when he asked Paul Cook about enjoying a cup run, and being told that Chesterfield would rather focus on the League
Least we have the potential to reach the third round I suppose
Why? Decent draw local game
Not very inspiring... I enjoy the Cup because of the prospect of facing different teams - Rather than one we've faced a few times the last few seasons.
As I say... Its a good opportunity to get a big game in the 3rd Round.
You'd expect the Aldershot and Chesterfield ties to be televised given their upsets... Hope Ramsgate do get televised given they've shown Cray Valley at a League side.
Such a poxy ground, with tons of OTT policing to add to the fun. Could’ve been worse I suppose, but either way we have to overcome the mighty Cray Valley Paper Mills first.

Only 20 matches in 2nd round. Depends how many matches they are planning to show. Eastleigh v Reading is another guaranteed TV game.

- Non-League side = Excellent
- League One side = Let Cray have the win
- League Two side = Meh, could be better
:-)

As a Premier League side!
