Best ties would be Oxford home or away, Rovers, Coventry, Sunderland, Ipswich or Pompey (subject to replays) at home or any non league team away that's gets us on TV to help with revenue. After that anybody else at home. All would be winnable as well giving us a shot at R3.
Please dont give us any L1 or L2 team away (apart from Oxford) particularly those far off northern outposts such as Carlisle, Fleetwood, Crewe or Wrexham/Rochdale and especially Rotherham as Yates wouldnt be allowed to play.
Rotherham away it is then!

Don't want Oxford at the moment. As much as it pains me to say it, they seem to be doing well.

We'll end up drawing ball 26. Creating the thrilling draw of;
Grimsby/Newport v Swindon/Cheltenham.

Not exciting but should we get to that stage a great chance to progress, all that matters in R2.

Looks to be a pretty shit draw but If we can beat the Numb then that should be a decent chance to progress to round 3.

An uninspiring winnable tie, which is absolutely fine

Lose one of those ties and it shouldn’t derail the season.
Win both of the very winnable home games and we’re in the hat.
No complaints from me.

As pointed out before there ususally aren't good draws to be had in R2, so anything at home will do. However, not really too much point in getting excited as the very difficult hurdle of Numb to overcome first.
Interestingly although a regular opponent in league football it would be the first time since 1906 that we've crossed paths with BPV in any cup tournament and that was the only time, but it was in the 5th qualifying round, we lost 2-1

Keeping the theme running, some of you might enjoy a stab at this. Went up on BBC a few hours. I managed 18 of 23 (without cheating). Enjoy  www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50331298 |

Good quiz. I got 17. Not sure many would get 2 of the 23 names, long forgotten clubs. |

To be honest Kirky, I got those first. My Dad used to have a pewter tankard with all the FA Cup Winners on (upto about mid 80s) and so those two clubs were literally etched into my memory!
