Thought that was from round 3?
Could be wrong…

5-2 I think it was. We were winning at half time.

Dull draw, but we had some interesting ones last season to be fair.

Bolton only 14th in league 1 at time of writing. Not that far above us. No reason to think we can’t get through.

Decent draw should pull a good crowd and create a good atmosphere.

Think it’s a decent draw and a good tie that’s winnable at home in front of decent crowd if they get the prices right .

This says they’ve been scrapped, so may be enough to draw and beat them on penalties

Every cup draw this season we’ve been drawn at home, very unusual

I imagine Bolton fans are even more underwhelmed by the draw than we are :grin:

Meh, struggling to think how it could be a worse draw however Bolton have had an average start to the season so everything to play for with home advantage.

Not sure why it would be selected for TV, unless SKY Sports+ are covering a lot of FA Cup games.

I wonder if Lowe will be able to play? I think the other loanee’s will be given the green light. I’m not excited by the draw as I recalled previous League Cup/FACup games against them which didn’t end well…and then I remembered the 8 - 1 and going back further I think there was a 2-3 at FP. But it’s the cup and you never know…

Other than possibly Birmingham, Bolton are arguably the biggest club in the round.

Everyone loves a giant killing

Would expect Bolton to bring at least 1500 and a lot more if they are doing well when the tie is due to be played

What date is the first round matches ?

Some tinpot club in North Wales might think they are bigger than Bolton

Decent draw. Don’t think it’ll be televised. Tamworth Vs Huddersfield is a nailed-on TV match.

Crap record against Bolton in cup games in the last 23 years, so about time we won one.
