frankpingel Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 There's still some very winnable home games, potentially, so we can hope. I was resigned to us going out after drawing Villa away so I'll try and retain some positivity regardless. Mind Mansfield or Wrexham at home and Liverpool ect playing one another would be nice.

Big Geordie Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I think we could pull Chelsea and it will be away. Meaning we 'could' end up playing them x4 inside a couple of weeks. Cup draws not being favorable to us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Kind of want to avoid Wrexham. Losing to a lower league team would be bad, losing to a lower league team then Ryan Reynolds making a documentary about it for Disney Plus would be worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the hope is that if we avoid the big ones, then anyone we do play have other things that they are focussing on. Wrexham could be focussing on a play off push.

If we where to get Chelsea in the FA cup on top of the 50/50 chance we get them in the Champions League too (Should we beat Qarabag), our fixture list at the start of March could be: 07/03/26 - Chelsea (H/A) - FA Cup 11/03/26 - Chelsea (H) - Champions League 14/03/26 - Chelsea (A) - Premier League 18/03/26 - Chelsea (A) - Champions League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansfield beating Burnley was cool but Burnley's existence is so meh that I feel like they could lose to literally anyone and it wouldn't feel like an upset. I think it might be Turf Moor.

ramirez Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Can’t have been many times us and the mackems have both been in round 5, part of the reason we didn’t draw them for so long was both being so bad and not progressing far.
