Imagine getting Gainsborough Trinity at home and still losing the possession stats

 

[Dario Terracotta]

We shall not be moved......well we will be

 

[Drico]

Liverpool away. Of course.

 

[Cels]

Number 48, Leyton Orient or Oldham Athletic away

​

 

[Tonymckinn1878]

Southampton away. Lose on pens.

Away game at a small club would be good. Always like it when we get a relatively easy draw and a small club gets a welcome cash boost.

 

[PeregrineT]

Why do they keep scheduling us in these?

Nah, home draw against a crap club please.

I need as many credits on my account as possible for moving to BMD!

61. Kettering Town or Doncaster Rovers

 

[NathDogg]

scab6 team at Goodison to give the old girl and us one last kick in the undercarriage.

 

[14_dollars]

Zero interest in the cup whilst we are in a relegation battle.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Hopefully not Southampton at home, the last thing we want is the chance of losing to them 4 times in one season!

It would be good to see one last FA Cup game at Goodison, I have a feeling we'll be drawn away to a top side though.

Canon fodder for the tv schedule.
