RadioactiveWaste Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Decent draw for me. Both winable but not an upset if we do go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its possible, between them there could be 4 ties on the box. So its 50/50 chance of being a televised match. I'd be surprised if we're on the box again, especially after the accrington game. It wasn't the most exciting was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why the minority of 3rd round games kicked off at 3pm on the Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 With the way the cup has gone so far this year, it's a huge opportunity for any lower league PL side. With Chelsea or United guaranteed to be out in the 5th round, it will leave a maximum of two sides who will qualify for Europe through the league. Unless City and Chelsea/United avoid each other until the final, there will be a side qualifying for the Europa League through the FA Cup this season. Can you imagine making the final and knowing regardless of the result you'll be playing European football next season? Any side who chooses to rest players now is downright stupid.

I think they've changed the rules now, if a champions league team wins, the place goes to the next highest Premier league team. I think it was after Cardiff qualified that way a few years back.

I would hope that we play Saturday or Sunday as we have matches the Wednesday before and after and a Friday or Monday game wouldn’t give the players much rest time.

Villa lost in the final the following season but had no European campaign the season after, same for Palace the following season. Incidentally both Hull and Villa got relegated the season after they reached the final, and the season before Hull reached the final was the season Wigan won the cup and were relegated.

One of the best away days I’ve had in a long time! Went to a great pub near new street! The game was good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save one for the final. Man City would be ok, even if they batter us. Away from home there's the money from gate receipts, but at home there's always the "banana-skin-factor" (scientific terminology) If we're going to play Palace, Watford or Brighton (or indeed WBA), I'd like it to be at home. I'd fancy our chances. Away from home, not so much. If Wolves go through I'd like to avoid them. No glamour, and unlikely to progress. Against a lower league team I'd prefer a home draw - the pitch really didn't help us on Friday, so let's avoid that. I'd take any Championship team at home, with possible exception of Swansea. I'd like to avoid them. Not sure why. Perfect draw for me: Derby v Doncaster Boro v WBA Chelsea v Man Utd Man City v Swansea Millwall v Wolves Palace v Watford Wimbledon v Bristol City Brentford v QPR Leaving Derby, WBA (after a replay), Chelsea, Man City, Millwall (shock win), Palace, Wimbledon and Brentford in the last 8. Derby to draw Wimbledon at home, Chelsea to draw Man City, Millwall to draw Palace and West Brom to go to Brentford. Semi final line up of Derby, Man City, Millwall and Brentford. Man City go to Millwall, we get Brentford. Derby v Man City final. Finish second in the league, Man City to reach Champions League final and still be in a competitive premier league race on final day of season, and as such we surprise them to win 2-1. Frank buys Mount, Tomori and Wilson for our inaugual run in the Europa League. ...what? Not quite right, then. New version: Bristol City v Wolves - Bristol City to win AFC Wimbledon v Millwall - Wimbledon to win Doncaster v Crystal Palace - Palace to win Middlesbrough v Man City - Man City to win Chelsea v Man Utd - Chelsea to win Swansea v Brentford - Brentford to win Portsmouth v Watford - Portsmouth to win West Brom v Derby - Derby to win Derby get Portsmouth at home in Quarter Finals, and win Wimbledon to draw Palace at Selhurst Park, and lose Brentford at home to Bristol City, and win Chelsea at home to Man City, and win. Derby v Brentford and Wimbledon v Chelsea Semi Finals, Derby to play Chelsea in the final. After a late season injury crisis, Lampard registers as a player and comes on as a sub in the 88th minute to score the winner from 35 yards. Wilson adds the gloss with a goal from 36 yards 2 minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would happen if Derby reached the final, lost to Man city in the final and obviously they would go into the champions league finishing either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the Premiership. Meanwhile the Rams reach the play off fnal and win it, to become a Premiership side. Can they qualify for european football that way. Bet nobody knows the answer.

No, the rule allowing the runner-up to qualify was changed in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
