FA Cup Round 2 Draw v Alfreton (a)

All About Walsall
1

Just a reminder that the draw for Round 2 is on ITV1 and ITV X tomorrow at 2:30 immediately after the Chesterfield / Pompey game. I think the BBC might also be streaming it online.

Who do you fancy? Non-league again? Aldershot anyone? or Ramsgate? Or a Staffordshire Derby: Vale or Burton at home?

And what will be the TV picks? In addition to Wrexham, who else will make £60,000 + TV money?

Always dislike R2, less of the magic of R1, more of an opportunity to get the likes of Barnsley or Charlton away and lose out on a potential juicy R3 tie.

Chester or York away would be lovely though.

Flynn (How it was supposed to be): ‘No Swindon Town players will be ‘taking the FA Cup lightly’…’
Flynn (How it turned out): “The first half is the worst I’ve been involved in at any level.”

Lots of ex Walsall angry mangers about .Darrell Clarke today quote.
“It’s a woeful, embarrassing performance… I have to choose my words very carefully because I am very angry at the minute and I want to make sure I don’t chuck too many people under the bus “

I’m with @TheRedPrince on this.

Round two is something to be navigated rather than enjoy. Even an on paper good match at home E.g Vale, would still struggle to attract more than our average league home attendance.

Therefore the best bet is as easier a passage as possible.
