Lush Vlad Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 Would rather it was home first, TBH. Think getting something to hold on to and keeping it tight for an away game is preferable. If we need to open up at home to a top team chasing goals. We’ll get picked off. Still, nice problem to have. Actually being in the draw at the business end of a cup competition!

CallumG6 Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 I’ll be sick as a dog if lego head knocks us out. 2nd leg at home though, we can beat anyone at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 Written in the stars for us now.
