Who is the clueless female presenting the draw?

I blame the suffragettes. I always said giving them the vote was the thin end of the wedge.

Feel sorry for the kids as they've earned a chance to start again, but I don't think many will after that abomination of a draw.

What makes you think she's "clueless", her gender? She's literally reading out names of football teams, I'm not sure how you manage to gauge her levels of expertise from that.
Caroline Barker - been involved with non-league football for many years as well as reporting on professional football. She was a director of Chelmsford City (Nigel Spink's original club) at one point.

Yeah, and what sort of colours are white, purple and green? That's nearly as bad as Norwich.

I dont think it will be on tv to be honest and i hope it isnt. The less tv coverage the more chance i think we have

No way will we go as weak as we did against barrow

I’d play the same team as Barrow - why not?

Let's put out our strongest team and try and get past them, we need to be going for the Cup as it's a realistic chance of European Football which the Club seems to crave.

Very hard to get it through the League so let's go all out and put the big guns out against Chelsea.

I expect a weakened side though and a 4/5/6 -0 Defeat. Shame

Because I want to win a cup and that means playing the team that gives us the best chance of doing so. If we find out Chelsea are playing the kids we can play a similar team. If, as is more likely, they play a strong team then so should we.

Because as well as they played last night, that team would get well beaten by any current Chelsea side resembling the their first team.
If we’re serious about trying to go far in cup competitions, we have to play our strongest 11 in this one.

I wouldn't. Bit of a difference between Chelsea's Reserves and Barrow's Elite.

And I'm not sure it will be Chelsea's reserves, anyway. I imagine Steer and, maybe, Tuanzebe will be the only non-regulars. We might play whichever of Young/Targett isn't starting in the league, too.

I suppose there is a reasonable chance that at least two or three of the Barrow kids will be off on loan by then, anyway, rendering it a moot point.
