Alex_BCFC Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Why do we always get such poor draws? Leeds seem to get great ones. Only good news is we didn’t get another Championship side - seemed like a few that got each other from our league. Maybe a chance for Semenyo but other than that not too inspired for this.

Davefevs Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I’m really happy with the draw. Chance to progress, chance to give a few (not too many) players some minutes, e.g. someone like Dasilva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Maenpaa - Pereira, Wright, Baker, Rowe - Smith, Szmodics, Bakinson - Semenyo, Rodri, Watkins. Play to win, no worries if not. Good opportunity this year to make play-offs for the first time in 11 years, why risk more injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not interested in a cup run this year and let's face it we never get one of the big boys anyways so would probs have to get to the final before we do. Would have liked to have had a big game to get excited about and then now our graciously and then concentrate on the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Good draw in fairness. Maybe its just me but i now look at the FA and league cups with a genuine desire to go as far as we can and heaven forbid even get to a semi or final (We almost got to a final in 17/18 so why not dream big..) I’d much rather progress to the later stages and meet the big boys there.. cant help but think with how far we have come in the last few years that wanting a big team early on is really only what the tinpot lower league outfits are striving for!

How would it look if he had a 'mare and gave the game away? Give him permission to play (he's already cup tied) and let Shrewsbury decide whether to include him or not. We seem to be the only nation in Europe that stops loan players turning out against their parent club. We would surely be confident about beating Shrewsbury whether Max is between the sticks or not.

Yep Leeds drew Arsenal twice in the third round in the last ten years - but in all the other seasons over the last decade they have had FA Cup draws versus Histon, Oldham, Kettering, Brum, Rochdale, Sunderland, Rotherham, Bolton, Watford, Cambridge, Newport and QPR - obviously glamorous draws will follow if a club progresses into the later rounds but I was replying to a post on third round draw day about Leeds ‘always getting good cup draws’ - it just ain’t so!

So 3/11 including this season. Many would include facing a non-league side as a "good cup draw" as it's a novelty from the third round onwards, that puts Leeds at at least 5 of the last 11 third round draws- based on who you have said they have faced. Compared to our 0/11. Now I wonder why there may be a little envy about the draws Leeds have had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I entirely understand your post though James - are you saying we’ve had zero ‘good draws’ in the last 11 third round draws? The post to which I was replying suggested Leeds get good draws because they always draw a big, glamorous side, when they don’t ... you seem to be suggesting that a draw against a perceived inferior team is a good draw?

I quite clearly qualified what "inferior" sides would be seen as a good draw, and the reason why. Not sure what part of "non-league" has confused you. The fact that people on this thread even said they'd like a non league side even back up what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, but I was originally replying to a poster who said Leeds always get good draws after they were drawn versus Arsenal tonight, that person was obviously suggesting that Leeds always get good draws because they thought Leeds always draw a big club in the third round, which they don’t ... nothing to do with thinking drawing a non league team is a ‘good draw’ - anyway, cheers for your replies ... enjoy the rest of your evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Would have preferred one of the big 6 but at least its a home draw where we are favourites to win (no disrespect to Shrews) which, if we do win, increases the odds in our favour of getting a big club in round 4.

So yes they do get lucky compared to many. Apologies, my response should have been worded more reasonably. The further a club goes in a competition they are more likely to draw a top club, drawing a big premier league club in the latter stages of a cup competition is likely rather than lucky. Leeds have drawn bigger clubs as they’ve progressed further - like we did in our league cup run as you rightly point out. Anyway, apologies again for my original reply ...
