Least it's not QPR or another L2 team, it's something different to look forward too.

It's seeded.  So it was never going to be another L2 team.

Charlton are playing twice according to the draw, they put them in the draw twice  ???

Looking at the BBC they have us away to Norwich but a screen grab of the draw says Wimbledon.

It also has  Charlton on it twice:)

Yeh just saw that we have Wimbledon away according to the graphic. Weird as we were both un-seeded!

The whole draw was a shambles.

Charlton are playing Cheltenham and Exeter apparently.

They called out Oxford vs Cheltenham so it's just a mixup on whoever was doing the display stuff.

That just sums up our knowledge of cup competitions - being shite for years. There are no replays (I think).

There aren't. We went to pens with QPR just last season.

Yep, no replays goes to penalties on the night but Batch might have meant watch the replay of the game (on 5 or whatever it's shown on now).

 I can't elk but think, our match up will be the only one in the first round between two former winners.

 Power will be happy.... trip down memory lane to Carrow Road.  Shame it's so far away for the rest of us, mind.

Considering its divided geographically North and South we must have one of the furthest trips of any side.

I daresay you're planning as we speak WB.  Can't be helped but somewhere like Reading would have been fun.

Sarfend's trip, to Newport would push it close... Sarfend have probably lucked out because Rodney Parade is unfit, so it will be reversed.

Carabao is a Thai word for buffalo. It's a spin off from Krating Daeng, which means Red Bull.
