West Brom away

[Del Shannon]

If we beat the Posh in the replay. Any thoughts?

Not the easiest draw but its Winnable. I would have preferred Liverpool, Everton etc. If we beat them it would be interesting to see Adrian Chiles reaction!

Apprently there playing well but not scoring goals so dont be fooled be their lowly position!

I think, in a lot of ways, it's one of the worst draws we could have hoped to get. Any premiership opposition is kinda fun, but financially, playing away at West Brom is no more rewarding than playing against Leeds or Leicester...and in terms of quality, I'm afraid i don't share RTID's optomism...really, they should easily be able to see us off. Their position in the premier league is irrelevent; the fact they're there at all means they're a million miles ahead of where we are. So we're playing a comparitively tremendous side, and there's no money in it for our troubles.

I'd expect us to go and defend the fort with the jolly old 4-5-1. It works at this level because a lot of teams aren't good enough to break us down, but West Brom are a different proposition and, if we get through, I can't see anything other than a defeat.

Magic of the cup and all that, but meh, can't see it personally.

Get Higgy in goal, we'll be fine.

If we get through the replay, could have been a worse draw as Baggies fans are fairly decent attenders, so despite the L1 opponents would expect a decent turnout. However, I can't see us getting past them either.
