At least, not waiting til then before fixing dates etc. They'll have to take a chance (assume Wolves and cheating Brentford win) and then make a last minute change to the match, but not the date, if something unexpected happens. Replays are next week , I would imagine will wait to see who goes through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brentford get through then yeh it’s better than Swansea v them cos both are mid-table championship sides. Pompey will be on if they get though and they may see QPR v Watford as better than us anyway. I’d put it on a par. All the others will get on over us I think. So unlikely overall but you never know.

With our record of being Bristol City, who has never been in the premier league, , I'd be astonished if we're not the last team they think of for TV coverage!

Across both cups over the last 2 seasons, I make it 5 PL sides eliminated- which is pretty outstanding! However Wolves seem fairly strong and will be playing for the Cup as a clear priority unlike say Leicester at Newport so they would be favourites, but not by much.

eardun Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Shrews please and I’d prefer 3pm Saturday ko as easier for me travel-wise (more chance of that if not on TV so fine by me if we aren’t selected). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship beating Premier league is an upset.... Why didn’t you originally post that then TM? Instead you awarded me a eggplant........................... Anyway.....back to my point.......Wolves are a newly promoted PL club and no doubt desperate to preserve their PL status. Currently they’re around 8th or 9th I think but only 10 points above the drop zone and I’m not sure how strong their team will be if they get past the Shrews and play us at AG. If they do get through the replay they won’t fancy playing us at AG with City on an impressive unbeaten run so if we beat them I wouldn’t see it as an upset. Its not as if we’re still a lower league club these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s happened to Wolves before and it could happen again. They need another six wins (18 points ) to reach the magic 50 points.......that has to be a priority.
