    At least it's at home. Good chance they will make a few changes so an opportunity to get through.

    Very winnable tie depending on who is in charge by then.

    A Championship club 2 years ago and currently 8th in the league above us. It’s about as winnable as the Boro game.

    You caught Middlesbrough just as they'd come out of a terrible start to the season and hit good form. They were in The Championship play-offs a few months ago. And Hughes was still in charge of you.

    I think Wycombe are very beatable. It just depends on who is in the dug-out by the time you play them.

    It’s only winnable if we play a full strength team and they don’t.
    In addition to that, we also need the desire to win.
    I predict 0-0 and a replay at Adams Park on Tues 14th Nov.

    For everyone moaning about the opposition, who would you actually want?

    One of these clubs would have been preferential.
    I wouldn’t have minded one of these away.
    Marine
    Worksop Town
    AFC Fylde
    Hereford
    York City or Needham Market
    Alfreton Town
    Chester
    Chelmsford City or Whitby Town
    Curzon Ashton
    Gateshead

    Or one of the southern None League teams at home.

    Different team. Apart from York, a club that l haven’t visited. A decent chance of progressing. Potential TV tie.

    l am not moaning, it is just…………underwhelming.

    In the early rounds, the easiest non league opposition possible.

    Ooooh, tough draw.

    We won't be able to match them for physicality, so we'll have to hope we can make the most of our passing play I guess?

    First round , home draw is all we could hope for.
    Wycombe ,are the type of team we will come up against week in week out, if we ever climb out of league 2.
    It will be a good day to judge the squad against such opposition.
