FA Cup 2nd Round

[HypoTypo]

In some ways it's better we play a tough nut that dispels any complacency rather than get embarrassed by the likes of Maidstone.

AND ... Last time we played them at home we won 2-1

It's hardly unreasonable to not want to be drawn against the team that beat you in your last league match.

Yet people moaned about drawing lowly, not worthy of us Crawley. Then want to sack the manager for not winning.

 

[eastling]

Crawley ain't impressed with the draw either lol.

I think people moaned because they wanted a team lower than Crawley and somebody we hadn't played for a long while.

Also not everyone moaned. Some people thought it was a good draw as it was winnable.

Nd instead we will get embarassed by Crawley

At least when we lose the replay against Crawley nobody will be disappointed about the tie we missed out on!

Ron might! Another potential home game is more revenue.

Just saw this on Reddit about Crawley.

So much for our cup run for yet another year then. Can't see myself coming over for a third round cup game in January,not to see us anyway.

When was last time we won in this cup ? Home v Millwall who were well above us at the time. So why would Barnsley be Boring?

Ha! Saw that one.Not so sure that Barnsley would be boring,though at 4th place in the table they'd be a good bet to beat us (or at least get a replay).Bit academic , as I think Crawley will do the business against us anyway.

Not sure what games u watch? We should have been 4-0 up against Crawley after 20mins!!! Did u not notice the gulf in class between us and Crawley? Ok second half we was poor! But we should still win a reply at Crawley and hope we do! And Barnsley only beat us 0-1 So we can also beat them at home as we usually perform better against teams doing well

I don't think it would be boring Riggers, but after Saturday's draw and the replay looming some folk are obviously in gloomy mood. Most unsual on ShrimperZone isn't it?

Couldn't see the Crawley game as it wasn't on iFollow,though (I was listening on BBC Essex) I have seen all our other games this season however,including the recent Coventry match, which I came over to RH for.

I certainly hope you're right about the replay and the second round.Don't think I'd risk any cash on it though.

Think this is a good draw, at least we know what we are up against. If we got non league opposition we usually make fools of ourselves as we normally underestimate them . Firstly we need to despatch Crawley which im sure we will make a Pigs ear of.

 

[shrimpled]

We beat Barnsley in R3 a few years ago before playing Spurs away IIRC. A good omen should we beat Crawley.

Which we won't.

 

[AndyT]

We'll beat Crawley in the replay.

 

[MK Shrimper]

We'll beat Crawley in the replay.

Damn straight.

I'm looking forward to our 5th round tie Vs Arsenal and taking them to extra time at the Emirates.
