    6 or 7000 at best depending on price

    As you say depends on the ticket price and also the run of results this month but on reflection I'd go with that given;

    1) we don't do cups 2) Bowyer's main priority is staying up not cups  3) we've got them the following week in the league 4) we are likely to field a team of youngsters and the odd squad player in need of minutes.

    If they are fit and not recalled by then we will be unable to play Leko and Field for this one even if we wanted to.

    Are you 100% certain of that or just a guess. Does the "not being able to play against the parent club" also apply to cup games or just League ones..  ?

    Both teams will want to lose this game and desperate for no replay
    Reserve fixture without doubt

    For me any home tie is good. I'm ok with this draw.

    So long as they’re both fit at the new year, it means that both Field and Leko will have 16 days off between games and won’t play at The Valley for at least 30 days between Boxing Day and Fulham at home on 25th January. Crazy!

    That’s 4th round day so if we get knocked out and Fulham beat Aston Villa you can push that date out another week to Feb 1st and Barnsley at home.

    It would've been a decent draw.........last season.
    Also not completely sure that Leko and Field can't play as there are different rules in the cups and it depends on the clubs. Last season Chelsea let Tomori and Mount play against them for Derby.
    Admittedly West brom probably won't let them play though.

    West Brom won't want anything to do with the FA cup. The thing is, we probably won't either! There may be a few own goals!

    Probably the first time where instead of bringing in reserves and fringe players with little or no recent match experience for the cup match to save the first choice players legs for the league games we will probably be bringing in first choice players with little or no recent match experience to save the reserves and fringe players legs for the league games

    Put out our strongest team, knock them out and march on. We're losing too many games to pass up a chance of winning one.

    Although it's still a month away, i'm not sure we have enough fit players to do anything other than play our strongest possible team. Even less players if they don't let Leko and Field play.

    Millwall v Newport
    They're going on another damned cup run then
    Millwall drawn at home? who'd have thought that rare occurrence would happen..
    It's compulsory for Millwall to be drawn at home against shit teams for the first 3 rounds, then get a shit Premier league team at The Den in the 1/4 final.
    Last season it was only Dave Martin doing the decent thing and throwing one in his own net in the 10th minute of injury time, that prevented another coke fuelled semi-final punch at Wembley.
    If it's just the one punch then I think we can all agree that would definitely be progress.

    Shit draw but not bothered - vowed last year not to attend any more cup games unless later stages - not interested in paying to watch a reserve match

    Mental health 'take a minute' campaign, hence the 3.01 kick off time. - before 90 minutes of what am I doing here begins.
