Lew-T Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 There will be some big teams going out next round with the Manc Derby, West Ham v Chelsea and Liverpool v Spurs all playing eachother. We have a home tie against average prem side to say the least! There is no reason why we can't progress further and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is after Blackburn at home for us too, so no travelling for us that week, which will help preparation on our end. A shit draw would have been Leeds, Preston or even Newcastle away - nothing to look forward to in those games, while in Hull we've a Premier League team at home, and one we can give a game. Lord knows we've the squad to manage a cup run this year, and I for one am pretty chuffed we're one potentially winnable game from a cup quarterfinal. And I bet a fair sum Tammy (and a few others, to be fair) will be desperate to play against a Premier League team - advantage of a young an hungry squad. Think plenty of the players and the management will be happy with this one, and I'm looking forward to it - almost forgotten what that felt like in any cup that wasn't the JPT! So our game will be a Wednesday again? I believe Blackburn is on a Sunday, so we wouldn't play on the Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgrsimon Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Not the most mouth-watering of games but with our luck in cup draws, how about Hull then Preston then Reading and then.... Wembley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the draw overall, where's the optimism - why not 'dare to dream'. There's a potential semi final or maybe even final appearance in there for a Championship club...why not us, eh? Spirit of '89. This is actually so true and not as fanciful as some might think. With two all-Championship ties, if we manage to get through this there's definitely a genuine opportunity of reaching the last four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, it's purely for selfish reasons. If you were surrounded by 'Ull fans every single day of your life, you'd want the chance to knock 'em down a peg or two. Where I live it's split roughly half and half between 'Ull and Leeds fans, but obviously, with Leeds being the least successful of the two in recent years, more and more are choosing to follow the Tigers.

Admin phantom Posted September 22, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 It was funny how the first 4 ties drawn were all top draw teams / ties, the second half was all the "others" Not a bad draw really - for their Stoke match in the last round Hull made eight changes from the weekend. David Marshall, James Weir, Dieumerci Mbokani, Will Keane, Markus Henriksen and Ryan Mason all made their first starts. Hull City: David Marshall, Andy Robertson, Harry Maguire, Curtis Davies, David Meyler, Shaun Maloney, James Weir, Dieumerci Mbokani, Will Keane, Markus Henriksen, Ryan Mason. Subs: Dusan Kuciak, Tom Huddlestone, Adama Diomande, Ahmed Elmohamady, Josh Tymon, Jarrod Bowen, Greg Olley. No reason not to fancy this tie, and if we can stay away from those in the first 4 ties - who knows what will happen !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Personally I think it's the third best draw we could have got (after Preston at Home or Reading at home, maybe after Leeds at home too.) I know everyone wants a glamour tie but personally I'd much rather be in the quarter-finals and this gives us a chance of doing that. I hope we can beat Hull, get a throughly unglamorous home tie against Preston in the quarter-finals and win that too and then get Chelsea, Spurs or Arsenal in the semis then surprise Man City in the final. I accept there is a small possibility I'm getting ahead of myself here though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
