Sheff Utd (H) FA Cup 3rd Rd (9/1/21) Build Up & Match Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Can we not get a Premier League team this time? On a ridiculous run of facing them.

2016: West Ham
2017: Stoke
2018: Swansea
2019: Liverpool
2020: Man Utd
2021: Crystal Palace

Doubt anyone else has had a Third Round run like that. Not had a team from a lower division than us since Solbakken's final hours in charge vs Luton in 2013.

Home tie against Kidderminster if they win later please.

 

[Butters]

I don't think we have the squad depth, right now anyway, for a long FA Cup run, but i hope we give it our best go regardless. Would be nice to face a lower division team and to be on TV somewhere also of course lol.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Someone really shit at home please.

I'd like Wimbledon even though I'm away for the round. Went and saw them beat Cheltenham 4-3 yesterday and barring almost throwing away a 3 goal lead, they are a very attractive attacking team to watch. Our ex-wolf Csóka was playing and had a Hoever moment right at the start of the game to allow Cheltenham to take an early lead, thereafter fairly decent but was never going to make it with us.

Just thought I'd add that the draw is being done at 7pm (tomorrow).

 

[big mean bunny]

A wild prediction - We will be away to Huddersfield.

 

[The Bear]

I think we'll miss the PL for a change but get someone like Fulham Bournemouth or WBA.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I would prefer to avoid the shit.

Winner of Boreham Wood vs St Albans game tomorrow night would do me...

 

[jd1981]

Yep lower league opponents at home pls, probably be Man Utd away

 

[BillyDee]

Someone lower league near me, but with a big enough ground to be able to get a ticket...

 

[Derby Wolf]

Still pissed at Nuno chucking that Southampton game last year.

That was the first time I had a pang of indifference about him leaving.

Relatively safe in the league so just have a go.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah, that was rather annoying!!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well we have avoided the shit…

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sheffield United at home

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

At home to Sheffield United

 

[Tredman]

Blades

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’ll take that to be honest.

 

[Tony Towner]

Their reserves versus our youth team would be my guess

 

[WsWolf]

Winnable fixture at home isn't really to be sniffed at, what I wouldn't give to go 2 further than we did a couple of years ago.
