Not too bad for us would have prefered one of the easier options though.
Sooner or later that fixture was always going to happen. The football powers to be must take responsability for any situation that may occur. It was them to be fair. not MK, that allowed MK to buy their way into the league against all the ethics of competative sport.
Theres never a easy game in the fa cup now days. So the draw is a good draw for us. Id be very confident to turn both sides over at home. Would prefer to play walsall as ther enot playing to well and there the "bigger" side so can get up for it. But already this year the non league sides are causing trouble. And who knows if fleetwood get a win in the replay. The tv may see it as a upset in the making so who knows.
I'd much rather face Walsall - an out of form team is better to face than one in form, regardless of whether they are a division above or not. Whichever of those sides we face I'd fancy us to get a result.
I think GOOD chance is pushing it, but you might have a no-better-than-one-in-three chance, especially away. We WILL be better than Warsaw, but then nothing counts for anything where the FA Cup is concerned, it's just as likely to be 9-0 Fleetwood as it is anything else.
Will you be coming down? (assuming you get past the Polish, obviously)
Matt.
Totally off topic but...
WHERE ARE THE SMILIES YOU PROMISED ME TWO MONTHS AGO LOUIS!?!?!?!?!
Walsall fan in peace here. Thought I would join you good people here and exchange some friendly banter with you in the hope that our two clubs can lock horns in Round Two. Good to see Docs Fleetwood is on here, whom I have exchanged a few posts with on the Cod Army forum and Walsall Web Fans forum.
Walsall have to overcome Fleetwood first and I must say that having been up there for the game on Saturday Fleetwood deserved to win. Home advantage could come into it in the replay at Bescot BUT our home form, as a poster indicated earlier on this thread, is AWFUL! 6 defeats from 8 games in L1 and knocked out at the first attempt in home games in the JPT and Carling Cup. I would be delighted to visit Plainmoor again if Walsall progress.
Nice post Sadlad and I hope we play you if only because there would be less media crowing if we lost to you than if Fleetwood overturned us.
Was it your club whose ground used to have stands and terraces on three sides and a blank wall behind one of the goals?
A gentle point to our home posters - a few times I've noticed "could of" rather than "could have". I'm not normally a stickler for grammar but I must admit this one grates a bit.

Bernard, some of the grammer, spilling and punktuation' on hear is quite a damning indictment of the educashun system over the last god nows how long. Chill and smile to yourself as you try and decipher the likes of hullgull's posts
Hi everyone - registered again at last after another hectic spell at work - hopefully will get to see the Gulls in action again soon.
I have a number of Walsall supporting friends and have a very soft spot for the team, but I can tell you that they are far from confident about winning against Fleetwood and would look forward to a trip to Torquay only to sample the delights of the English Riviera. :? Saturday was something of a lucky escape for them as they were down to 10 men after about 50 mins I think, and later had one of their players carried off - it was apparently all Fleetwood after that, Walsall having scored after just 4 minutes and then conceded 5 minutes after half time.
From the point of view of the Gulls, both ties are winnable I reckon, though it does sadden me to see Walsall having such a miserable season as they have a great set of fans and are a lovely friendly club.

The standard of spelling and grammar here is generally good as a matter of fact.
