Tonight's Cup Draw

[Smiffy]

Looking at the draw i think Brizzle City v Man City will get sky coverage although if they show two games we have a chance.

Wrexham V Villa and Pompey V Leeds must also be in with a shout.

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

I think we'll get Watford at home ...

Am very happy with the draw. As soon as the draw was made, I was texting a Southend supporting mate who was phoning me at the same time. We will bring around 700 down to Roots Hall, which is good away support for us, but we wont play a full side.

Cant see us winning, Southend United 2 Watford 1.

700?

Thought you would bring at least 1,000...

It's not that far really is it?

Obviously the M25 in the evening is far from a slag, but still...

Not far at all mate, but we really dont travel well unless its an "attractive match".

Also, depends on the ticket prives too.

Tickets will be £10-£15 I reckon

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Not a bad draw I guess, we've got a chance of progression especially if Bothroyd puts a weakened side out.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Tickets will be £10-£15 I reckon

Better be £10 for adults. £15 to see Southend v Watford reserves will be taking the mickey.

That was me, had to phone you as we always talk about it, plus you can buy me a beer :)

And 700 thats rubbish mike you took 2.5k to Wolves so i bet youll sell 1k - 1.5k down

I bet Ron cashes in on this game £20 a pop i bet

If its £20 a ticket, then I won't be going to this one either...

 

[Mr. Benedict]

I'd certainly think twice if SUFC decide to make it full price. Watford won't play their first team and - all due respect to them - they're not a massive club so can't see them as a crowd puller.
£10 or £15 sounds about right, probably be the latter.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Location-wise, would have preferred Watford away, but a decent draw all the same. Just been chatting to a Watford fan at work (randomly, he's a Norwegian chap called Trond) and he reckons they will play a severely understrength side, so there's a decent chance of us getting through this one.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Watford side v Gillingham:- Lee, Mariappa, Jackson (Osborne 29), Avinel, Parkes (Forbes 67), Kabba, Bangura, Rinaldi, McNamee, Priskin (Campana 60), Hoskins.
Subs Not Used: Loach, Clarke.

Watford side v Wolves:- Watford: Poom, Doyley, ****tu, DeMerit, Stewart, Williamson, Mahon, McAnuff, Smith (Kabba 81), King, Priskin (Henderson 48).
Subs Not Used: Lee, Bangura, Mariappa.

As pointed out by UtS, Watford made 10 changes to the side that won at Wolves for the Gills match, as they will definately be chasing the league more than any cups this year i can see a similar amount of changes this time too, hopefully we'll be able to turn them over, and then get Liverpool in the 3rd round (ala FA Cup 78/79)

 

[SUFCEssex]

i think Watford won't make as many changes and will try to ensure they don't end up getting beat like Man U last year.

Its a difficult game but i think we get through.

But yeah, always on about a Southend v Watford game...only two weeks away now!

Dont worry, I will buy you a beer...because your buying all of mine in Russia. You owe me a Coke actually :)

We took 700 to Wolves mate. But wouldnt be suprised to see 20 notes for this game.
