    All of the potential draws involved a lge 1 team.

    This was the only one that had a lg2 team as well so definitely the best draw we could have got

    To be honest the EFL Trophy victory the other night against Derby has been a welcome distraction for me from the crazy transfer window and everything that goes with it.
    A minority of our supporters are never happy with our in and outs a bit like this competition you either embrace it or diss it.

    Home draw. That's about as much as we can ask for at this point.

    Couldn't ask for a better draw although I bet the Mick Doyle and the groundstaff are gutted with 3 games in a week. The irony if Doncaster get through is that we will play them on the Saturday before

    Will be interesting to see what kind of crowd we get for this one, given how all our home matches thus far have been sub-2k.

    I reckon we'll open the lower Main & lower Kop and we could get 6 or 7k for this.

    Results between could make a big difference , poor form and we will be lucky to pull 3 to 4000.
    School night will keep a few families at home, and maybe hair washing.

    Also wouldn't bet against a postponement. Long term forecast for quite a bit of rain at the end of January.

    We can probably write off next Saturday's home match already given the sub-zero temperatures every night and snow for this coming week.
