Yup, gone early on this one, however.......
I'm not so sure Fleetwood will be a pushover, especially with our .... unfit, tired, ill, useless, out of contract soon, (delete as appropriate) players.
With that in mind, i'm going 1-2 to the Rangers with Fleetwood scoring first and very early in the match. |  |

Audio only on QPR+. It won't be a Sky game and BBC/ITV are covering different games. That leaves a dodgy stream as the only option and I've no idea anymore about those. |  | | |

Thinking a fast runner each side could cut Fleetwood apart, dykes though the middle to get onto the crossed ball.
However i fear......run up to their quarter, stop, across, across, back, across, across, stop, forward a bit, across, stop, back to keeper........ repeat as required. Toblerone footy at its best! | |

plus the filthy lucre if (sorry, when) we beat Fleetwood for just beating them, then it goes thus.....
Third Round proper winners £105,000.
Fourth Round proper winners £120,000.
Fifth Round proper winners £225,000.
Quarter-Final winners £450,000.
Semi-Final winners £1,000,000.
Semi-Final losers £500,000.
Final losers £1,000,000.
Final winners £2,000,000. |
Half a million quid if we can win three games, plus gate receipts. Pays for Taylor Richards. Surely the board should be making progression a strong priority, given our much-publicised financial position. Draw dependent, of course. [Post edited 5 Jan 2023 11:52]

We jump out of this at the first opportunity most years and never actually helps us in the league. Charlton about to have a cup quarter final, a nice pay day for them whilst we went out in the first round after starting Bonne and Thomas.
We need to be not worrying about the next round or if it means we'll have a busy week at some point just go out play your best team and win a game of football. Losing again does nothing for confidence or morale, get Willock back into a bit of form, attack the game and win.
Of course I fully expect the opposite and a standard 3rd round exit |  | | |

It’s all well and good posting hopes of us winning on Saturday but please guard yourself against churlishness. Remember we have a record in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. And it’s taken us years to achieve it. Do we really want to throw that all away? |  | | |

Dodgy stream it is! Am sure the global markets can’t wait to view this festival of football and there will be an abundance of options! | | | |

It's a potential headline writer's tragedy that we've released Bonne. This would have been the perfect scenario to chuck him into the fray, get the winner, and live forever with the moniker 'Fleetwood Mac'.
But sadly, it is not to be. Possibly 'Fleetwood cack' will be be used instead, on here, twitter, and across the QPuniveRse, should we pathetically capitulate in a Vauxhall Motors stylee...
However, I'm predicting the Critch will take this seriously, and a solid 0-2 to the Rangers. |  |

Well this just turned to crap quickly.
The weather forecast for Fleetwood tomorrow is horrid...
90% chance of heavy rain
85% Humidity
21 Mph wind
Will men from London turn up, or soft southerners? i'm now nervous about this one.
Thermals out and waiting for our 'big day'. | |

We have one of, if not the poorest, record of 3rd round exits in the FA Cup, of all four English leagues.
Losing out to lower league opposition, home or away, it matters not where, is expected now by most fans.
Indeed, some fans even positively encourage this very low standard we've set ourselves. |
I believe we are clear in pole position now!
To look at it in a different way, it shows that we've been in the third round a lot of times! We didn't reach it in the three seasons we were in the division below this century, losing in the first round each time.
Plymouth followed our fine example this year & lost at rthe first hurdle. | | | |

Agreed. Play our best team, don’t rest even a single player. If we play a weakened team and lose, I can’t imagine that that would save our first XI from the low morale effect of being knocked out.
Let the first XI earn that low morale themselves! ;) |  | | |

Never done it as I've not been to Fleetwood, but is it worth using a pub in Blackpool and 'tramming' it up the coast? But, as I type, I've no idea where the stadium is, where the tram stops in Fleetwood, how long the journey is etc etc etc. | |

Each year I’m left annoyed by seeing plucky upstarts knocking out big teams. In fact most of the small teams really go for it, and put in stellar performances. Never us, never us beating a big team.
I guess Saturday all depends on how many first teamers Fleetwood leave out. |
We normally don't get to see a big team 
Having found no-one willing to drive I am on the fan coach that leaves LR at 7am.
I presume it will be 7 hours each way.
I presume it will be freezing in Fleetwood.
I presume we will suffer a last minute loss or an insipid 0-0 to lose the replay.
I presume I will have missed the last train/tube/bus home and perish in the cold somewhere around Finsbury Park as I attempt to walk home. |  |

tram goes to within 250 yards of the ground,
Kendal Ave seems good for free parking and theres a tram stop right there (Rossal Beach)
That can take you to the ground., get off at Stanley Road, or Lindel Road which are both the closest tram stops to the ground.
However, looking on google earth there seems to be enough free parking on street, just far enough away to help a quick exit | |

Jimmy Dunne was mentioned in the preview. Aside from our Joey and Clint Hill the only other player links I've found are Tom Hitchcock and blast from the past Dean Marney. Tommy Spurr was a nearly ran! [Post edited 6 Jan 2023 19:38]

3-0 Fleetwood and them to draw Chels*** in the next round, because we are not allowed nice things. |  | | |

Watching Man Utd v Fat Frank's Everton Blues, De Gare has let in a goal you'd see down the local Little league. Quite bizarre. Everton look totally dross at the back.
I got a little excited at ITV's intro to their FA cup coverage which was all filmed down the road from where I live at Molesey FC and feature some rather trendy drone footage of the surrounding area and stadium
Marvellous. Too bad the club has gone to sh*t recently. |  | | |

Yes very weird by De Gea. He could have caught the ball but decided to hold onto the post and use his feet but what he was trying to do was mysterious? Has he a bet on? |  | | |

Very jealous of those making the trip tomorrow.
New ground, cup, Northern ale, jumpers for goalposts, isn't it? |  |
