    When there were 5 balls left, Karen picked up 71 and dropped it before selecting another. Maybe coincidence but it reminded of the old hot ball / cold ball which was well known for going on in rugby league. Having Chichester in the next round will suit the BBC with them being the lowest ranked side left in the competition.

    I remember going to Shrewsbury as a 4th tier side in the FA Cup, when they were in the 3rd tier in 1976. We beat them 2-1 and went on to reach the quarter finals that season. Lets hope history repeats itself

    I was just as fed up with Shrewsbury away in 1975/6 season in a 3rd round draw but we won 2-1 and reached quarter finals.

    Yay Shrewsbury away. Easy
    Shrewsbury have a thriving midget scene. Thought you would be happy to go there?

    I spotted her pick one up, then dropped it, just wasn't sure of the exact number on the ball. I was thinking more on the lines of a heavier weighted ball, or a rough surface ball, to distinguish it, but then again what are the chances of that ball been right at the bottom, out of 70 plus balls? But I did spot her drop one after she picked it up

    Dull tie.

    But a good test to see where we’re at against a mediocre league 1 side. Play full strength treat it as a league game, let’s see how the team is coming along.

    Think we’ll win if we play a full strength team.

    Why risk injuries to key 1st team members?

    All for a good conspiracy, but looks to me like she drops 42 - Stevenage?

    You would think her ball control would be better than that. ;)

    It’s a first team game on Saturday. Suggest you do a bit of research on international breaks at the top 2 levels, and look at some of the changes in form that a 2 week break can cause. I’d rather the team keep gelling and improving.

    Also we’ve had a fair few injuries in training anyway, ask any pro they’d rather a game than a training session.

    I thought it was 42 as well. Wouldn't be a cup draw without someone claiming it to be a fix

    I would rest my 1st team in this dull FA Cup tie...

    The game is a no matter game.. we have bigger things to concentrate on!

    Looking at Shrewsbury's team, it looks miles ahead of most of the League Two sides we've faced this season (on paper).

    This could be a good test for our promotion chasers - I say take them on, full strength, full steam ahead!

    I think Bowyer will have us up for it, see how we match up against a higher division opponent. I bet we sell our allocation of tickets.

    Spoil sport

    FWIW, I didn't want the blank weekend the bye would bring and if we beat Shrewsbury, Chichester away would be a great draw for me. I don't live too far away and it would be guaranteed to be a TV game with a great chance of getting to round 3

    I don’t even need to use logic with you.

    All I need to say is you’d be squealing like a seal for a ticket if we got through the first few rounds and got Liverpool away, not so pointless then!

    I thought all FA Cup games were "pointless". Win, lose or draw, you don't get any points, therefore Fordy the midget worrier is right again. :thumbup::)
