    I don’t think it really matters.

    Given last year as a guide, with a huge injury list and a priority of survival, Bowyer will most likely treat this as second class and not put a particularly strong side out. 
    If there is one change I'd like to see (other the than the rat gone, of course) it's that the new owners insist that we take cup competitions seriously. Of course they could only do that if they've invested in a full squad and sadly I think this one will come to early - even if it ever happens.

    Dog shite side at home who will roll over.
    Or new ground away (Everton/Newcastle).
    Man City (the Abu Derby) or Liverpool at home.

    Why not many go to the cup games.
    Take the cup seriously even though the fans dont.

    I reckon that we'll get Swansea away. Then the team can just stayover a few nights, and it will be a typically boring draw.

    No idea what ‘not a particularly strong side’ would look like given the current injury list. 

    Our first choice side from the players available seems to be the only side we have.

    A nice premier League ground away, so Emirates, White Hart Lane, Amex, Anfield, Old Trafford, Etihad or St James'

    Would love a BIG Premier League side at home........but tradition states that we'll get a team in our division that we've just played. So Derby or Swansea away it will be then.

    no idea which of these are still in it, but away to Cambridge, Morecombe, Macclesfield, Newport, Forest Green, Salford City, Lincoln, Accrington.  If not then, Spurs or West Ham
    Newport are the only side remaining from that lot
    That’s annoying.  The only good thing about us under KR and Roland would’ve been the potential of dropping into League 2 and completing the 92.  To get these new grounds out the way is hard now.  Especially now the Carabao has been regionalised

    I was excited by the possibility roughly a month or so ago.

    Too many injuries unfortunately.

    An away day might be good somewhere...but the league is now too problematic and serious. Our form has died and the takeover is very much new and fresh.
