its the cup there are always big shocks whether we are at home or away it doesnt matter

Surely we won't get beat off Barnsley though Kev,it might be the cup but if we get beat off Barnsley at home theres something wrong.

Won't be going anyway, i'm on holiday everytime the 2nd round is on so i'm taking it that it will be the same again.

Remember watching Man city get beat off Doncaster last year or the year before in Cyprus

No idea of the statistics but I'd say far more shocks happen when a big team is away from home. I'm usually grateful for any home draw, even against the big teams, as I always see it as a chance to put them out on our ground rather than play them in a neutral venue or even at theirs later in the tournament.

 

My attitude is usually if we lose a game like this we simply don't deserve to be in the tournament. We'll need to put out a decent team, but I think there's room for a few fringe players with a strong bench.
