At home to someone like Coventry City or better still Portsmouth, so we can measure the squads strengths and weaknesses, use the game as a yardstick. Hopefully get through and then Manchester City home or away to get the measure of Michael Slater.
Home tie against the Geordies so we can have a crack at humbling Pardoo..
Now that might be fun
I know we could do without the extra game but Newcastle away, snatch a draw, then turn them over at the Valley. Imagine Pardew skulking off with a chorus of 'you're shit and you know you are' ringing in his ears.
I believe a lot of clubs with aspirations of doing well in the comp would like to avoid us, even top six of the prem would raise an eyebrow to playing us away.

West Ham would be good or Brighton away. Test ourselves against decent championship opposition.
But it will be Coventry.
this or Palarse at home.
nice one... i'll bring me slippers.
Everton, Stoke, Sunderland or Newcastle for a weekender!
Or of course Palace away.
