Personal preference, in order is below. Any of the top 7 and I would fancy our chances of progressing. Coventry at Home Coventry Away Leicester at Home Chelsea or Leeds at Home Leicester Away Forest or Man Utd at Home Wolves or Brighton at Home Liverpool or Southampton at Home Chelsea or Leeds Away Forest or Man Utd Away Wolves or Brighton Away Man City Home Liverpool or Southampton Away Man City Away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 In all honesty, give us Man City or Liverpool at home in the next round. If we are going to win it, we will ultimately have to beat one of those two and we'd need home advantage to do it as they'll tear us a new one at Wembley.

TRC Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I'd take any home draw over and away draw at this point, especially after last night. Cov at home for confidence would nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiesteve710 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) At this point I'd be delighted if we got a home draw and it wasn't Man City. I'd give us a punchers chance against any Man Utd, Chelsea or Liverpool at home, but to draw any of them away would honestly geel like a lost cause for me right now.

Sibierski Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Just want anyone at home. Personally, I wouldn’t mind Liverpool at home. One of the stronger sides left in, and probably the next couple of weeks will be best time to play them. Rather have them at home in QF then in April at Wembley or even the final. Going to likely need to beat one of Liverpool/Man City to win it (hopefully not both), so get it now whilst the odds are not so heavily weighted against us.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Who cares, if we're winning the cup we're going to need to win at least 2 hard games. Lets get ourselves at home and take whoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Brighton at home please. They have injuries and they play Roma at home on the Thursday before. I assume we'd play Sunday if that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland, Fulham & Blackburn away, or City away in the Third Round with a 95% chance of losing and the run ending before it starts? Have as easy a run as possible, let the big clubs take each other out or hope for the odd upset along the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Coventry (h) is exactly what we need both in and out of the cup. We are capable of beating Wolves at home and drawing or beating Chelsea away. If we come out of those two games with 4 points then have Coventry (h) we have the opportunity to restore some faith and belief in ourselves both on the pitch and in the stands and ideally comfortably toss aside Coventry and reinstall some of that confidence and assertiveness that we seem to be lacking. Can understand calls for Man City, Liverpool, etc. But fuck it. I'd rather have one to beat in a one off game at Wembley than 2 or 3 en route. We can worry about beating the best to get there when we're winning a domestic cup more often than every 69 years.

Getting one of them in the QF increases the chances of playing both - it doesn’t decrease it. You’d want them to play each other Coventry (H) for me, thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
