Not the best of draws, but one we could win.

Hmmm. Of all the Premiership options, this is about as glamourless as it gets - I.e. feeble crowd, little atmosphere and even less TV interest. Far from a lost cause, though.

rd and even Tranmere and Creepy Crawley have shown they will fill the top spots where as your team will be stuck in mid table after Eddies bubble bursts Can't wait to invade your home seats in Feb. PUP

A town with so much naval history deserves to have a shipyard. Hope you manage to stay up. Who knows in a season or two, we may both be able to put one over one our beloved neighbours! Regards.
No dream on you'll never make the dreaded Play offs as there are so many teams better than Boremouth in this poor league. Sheffield United and Notts County ,Swindon, MK,Doncaster,Brentfo

As for the draw it could have been worse not much!! but it could have been. Let us hope that Wigan are not interested in progressing with the FA Cup and field some of their less experienced players and we turn them over. Whatever the case we can certainly hold our head up high. UTCIAD

Who cares? Field the reserve team for a run out and let's concentrate in getting into the play-off places. We don't need the money and it's not like a mini cup run is going to give us a trip to Wembley, is it?

They've lost to Swindon and Notts County in the past few seasons, and Bradford beat them in the League Cup. Nothing to lose if you ask me...

By all means hope Pompey do survive,wouldn't like to see any team go to the wall due to the incompetance or underhand dealings of any corrupt regimes as it's the real fans that always suffer,but it makes me laugh when gob sh***s come on here to give it the big one when they should be worrying about the mess in their own back yard.

Maybe we can win you never know? Realistically if they do play some of their first team then it will be a huge challenge!!! But what have we got to lose!!! COME ON BOURNEMOUTH!

I would prefer we concentrate on promotion, the FA cup has lost its charm and we dont need extra matches on bad pitches during february.
