As poor a draw as I expected. No big payday, no TV coverage and no chance of progressing. So Charlton it hurts...
With full understanding that this is Charlton we are talking about…
The way NJ has us set up to combat sides with better players comparative to the average League One (Bolton, Birmingham for example) gives me confidence that we could steal a win up there for once.
Unlikely but my feeling is that it’s definitely a possibility.
I wish I had your optimism mate. Let's hope I am way off the mark.
As every season passes I'm getting more convinced they are staring to rig the draw. Every 3rd or 4th round draw there seems to be at least 2 big all Premiership games. Its always Arsenal v Man U or Liverpool v Man U.
They ask Deon Dublin to mix the balls & all he does is swirl then around. All that does is moves them along the bowl. You need to get your hand in, take a handful & really shake them around.
Dublin must have pulled out half a dozen balls in the 40's on the trot. Watch the draw back.
Seen quite a few Arsenal fans moaning (shock) about their cup draws. In the last 3 seasons they've now drawn Man City, Liverpool and Man U.
Quite surprisingly since winning it in 2020 they've not gone beyond the 4th round.
Pleased to see that one of the big hitters go out in the 3rd round, it makes our chances a little easier now of getting to Wembley.
Millwall v Dagenham might interest a few West Ham fans.
If it was at the Chigwell Construction Stadium, since they (West Ham) play their women's games there don't they, but it is at the toolbox so police might be wise to that.

I have quite a few Millwall mates and the only draw they wanted was West Ham away
Was having a good old think about it, and one real big positive (sorry if someone has said and I've missed it) is the test for some of our current lot. There's an expectation from the management team that some of these players will be ready to play at the level above (their words) so let's see how they get on.
Very intrigued in particular with Leaburn, CC, TT, Alex Mitchell, Gas, TC and Lloyd Jones if he's back, in seeing how they get on. I have a sneaky feeling we may actually win, might suit Jones, he's beaten them before in the championship, a team that actually attack us might help us where we struggle to break teams down who setup tight.

They'll still be looking forward to this one, if only for the off field shenanigans.
