F.A. Cup 2016/2017

[Stuart W]

Can't complain. We always get a home draw in the 1st round of the League Cup, ......and always lose. And secondly, if memory serves, we have drawn Millwall in the FA Cup twice before (at least in my lifetime), and both times at home. A 1-0 win under Sir Stanley back in 92/93 and a 4-1 win in I believe 13/14. Plus we should take decent support.

 

[Polish_Blues]

**** draw, at Millwall!

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

difficult tie and not one we'd have picked, but a draw away and a 2-1 at home and second round here we come. :dim:

 

[MK Shrimper]

Zero chance of it being on the box. It really couldn't have been much worse.

 

[Fairport]

Maybe this game will be played on the Sunday afternoon at 2pm. The BBC usually have a programme at that time covering ten matches.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Luverly jubberly. I hear Millwall is especially beautiful in November

 

[SUFCStu]

Beauty of the FA Cup.....


:nope:

Shame the Big Match is no more. This would have been a cert as its the big London derby

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

What a load of pants.

Concentrate on the Chekatrade now.

Your right - well except for the fact it is not a London Derby.

 

[rigsby]

I'm quite looking forward to it. Nice and local, who would have wanted a Scunthorpe for example. We won last season at the Den. Not a fan of playing non league teams anyway.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Looking at Millwall's form..........don't think they'll be much happier with the draw than we are. They managed a win at Northampton on Saturday but that was after the host's had been reduced to 10 men for most of the second-half. Before then they had suffered four consecutive defeats and hadn't won since the end of August. Much may well depend on if Millwall can build on their first victory for a long while and also whether we can turn around our terrible away form.

Doubt it. They usually pick games involving non-league sides.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Eastleigh v Swindon I reckon live on BBC

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

I'm well chuffed, an easy to get to away match, perfect

 

[RHB]

Millwall board is buzzing with the news.................not.

Really. I'm sure Hartlepool or Carlisle away would have been a lot worse. Decent away support and a winnable game. Back home in an hour. What's not to like?

 

[Evening Echo]

Blues draw Millwall in FA Cup

SOUTHEND United will head to Millwall in the first round of the FA Cup.

More...

 

[OldBlueLady]

Millwall and Charlton both, in theory, at home on the Saturday. We're both playing on the Tuesday, so one will probably be moved to the Friday.

Am sure Steve Kavanagh is pleased with the draw!

That's my boy! What's that line from Morrissey?
'You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown,
Over smashed human bone...'
