Is that the dullest draw possible ?

Not a lot of external excitement being generated.

Whatever the outcome, I hope the players prove they understand what playing in a Mike Dodds team means.

Iā€™m not sure Mike Dodds knows what playing in a Mike Dodds team means.

Thing is, arenā€™t we the glamour team now?

I imagine the Wigan forums are teeming with supporters panicking about failing to secure a ticket to witness The Project first hand.

The sort of draw I expect under Dudds

Are we actually blaming Dodds for the draw now? Is it Stockwell or Riceā€™s fault we have to go all the way to Plymouth over the festive period?

I donā€™t think there is much of a mechanism for clubs to complain about fixtures, but I thought it would be worthwhile kicking up a fuss about two local games in August and then a bloody long trip over Xmas. Maybe the Data says Plymouth in December is like playing in La Manga?

Feel the same about this draw as I did Swansea last season, I donā€™t think itā€™s a bad draw.

We now have the squad to completely mix it up in these games and give other players opportunities in a competitive environment.

Admittedly itā€™s not one for the fans but that Swansea game served us really well last season.

I hate when draws are weighted and this team canā€™t play that team and big clubs are protected. An actual fair cup draw might end up being a rare thing. You take who you get, If itā€™s too far donā€™t go.

Ideally wanted the weakest team left, a huge team away, or Reading or Oxford for local stakes.

Instead itā€™s a little underwhelming but hopefully a decent chance of sneaking through to the 4th round for only the 2nd Time in our history.

We are the fourth closest club to Plymouth. Really wouldnā€™t be a good idea to schedule the closest two (Exeter and Cardiff) over a public holiday for safety reasons. They have scheduled the third and fourth closest. What else do you want them to do?

Blimey..I might be very sceptical about the Ricicle Works, but thatā€™s pushing it a bit :thinking:
