We'll get Gillingham so they can beat us for the third time this season.

Chelsea away... Just got the small matter of beating a Championship team in the replay first but that's not a bad incentive!

The replay just got very interesting! We could possibly be televised.

Six teams left. Pompey, United, Arsenal, Spurs, Crystal Palace, QPR.

Of course we got QPR.

If January wasn’t already hard enough for us...

I’ve been supporting Luton for well over 20 years and I’m struggling to remember a month like this one; apart from when we played Watford and Liverpool within a week of each other Christmas 2005.

Given the amount of already huge games in this month I was of a mind to call for us to play a Checkatrade type team in the replay. With that draw though, its a massive incentive for us though. Keep saying it but what a season this could be for us (and already is you could say!).

Accrington getting a decent tie - can see that being on the box either way as its a Premier league side at home or Frank Lampard.

AFC Wimbledon v West Ham will be on again too.

We usually get Chelsea so enjoy the trip if you go through!

Whilst we were 1 ball from getting Man Utd in R3,..FWIW we were 1 ball away from that inferior side in Hertfordshire.

53-38

Perhaps getting ahead of myself somewhat, but to continue the theme of "Fatty is an idiot" that is developing this season....guess which prat looked at the fixture list prior to booking holiday, saw a nice little gap between Peterborough and Wycombe at Home and booked the holiday, only to now miss Portsmouth at home and now potentially Chelsea away, potentially our 2 biggest games for a very good while. :ffs:

Oldham away guaranteed for us
On ly thing I got wrong is that we got them at home, you couldn't make it up, the sixth time in 12 years we've drawn them ffs and only won once. The only positive is that the last 3 defeats has seen us promoted that season.

You have sold out, so guessing it isn't such a bad draw? Better as it is at your place, as we wouldn't sell out at LR. But you have sold out and we sold out the away end without it making general sale. I am going to it and really looking forward to it.

Havent been to FP as an adult. Went years back with my Grandad so looking forward a all day session.

You're right of course, that post was just my initial raw reaction to having been so close to a top 6 PL draw. I'm also really looking forward to the game (though less so with our form being as it is..), like Norwich - more so, actually - it'll be a really great test of how we come up against Champ opposition, and I'm always for a packed away end at FP.

The cup is predictably unpredictable so who knows with this one. QPR still just about in the running for a play-off spot (along with most of the Championship by the looks of it) so may rest players?

The bookies have us as slight favourites, but our form has taken a bit of a dive over the last couple of weeks. Being at home isn't that much of a boost for us as we have a better away record this season. 50/50 I reckon.

Funnily enough, a couple of weeks ago we were playing a lot better too. Last couple of games we haven't been great as we have had injuries to key people. WIthout them, we wouldn't be top 6 in League 1.

Missing Hemed, Cameron, Luongo and Hall. Wells is playing through injury. I am hoping that McClaren doesn't rote too much, I am hoping he changes it as Cousins, Scowen and Eze together aren't working.

I wouldn't mind Wells being rested if Oteh comes in. Drop Cousins or Scowen and bring in Manning. Rest Eze, move Freeman inside and playing Bright-Samuel. That's what I am hoping for.

Which means we'll prob play the same 11 that got thrashed by PNE.

Just seen this on FB. Think there were a good number in the home ends.

Doing well. Was doing better when he had a better team behind him but he is a really good player. Been nursing a groin injury for the last few games as well. Be brilliant if the loan were to be made a permanent one but I can't see it happening.

How did QPR and Pompey do that without breaching data protection laws then?

Does it come under safety? Or there is probably something in the terms and conditions that names can be cross referenced if they think there could be a safety breach?

Apparently Oldham fans have been sending song sheets out for tomorrow’s game


Well at least there will be some noise

Another game - another sending off - our discipline recently has gone to pot.
Thought we gave Derby a good game today and a cracking atmosphere around the ground.
Now to concentrate on staying in this league...
