I'm guessing Devon would like Truro City.
Would hate to draw Macclesfield or Sutton United or anyone in L1 or L2. Wouldn't mind LeatherHead, Hyde United or even Hereford.

In all honesty does it matter? Its not like we would get an easy ride no matter who we draw. Our FA Cup record of late has been abysmal. If we don't go out this round we will be out the next. When teams get knocked out there is a saying " We can focus on the league now" in our case this year those words should apply before we play our first game.

Could be last time we are in the 1st round automatically. No we never get an easy ride. We did well a few seasons ago under Cook where we managed to reach 5th round before losing 2-0 to Derby away.
COME ON DANCING TRY AND BE OPTIMISTIC!! I know its difficult when we've won 1 game in the league out of 13 but there's still time to try and turn this around, We can stop CHEXIT or FLEXIT.

I would want either the easiest tie of the round ,not sure who the lowest ranked team is but them ,OR a crowd puller like Mansfield at home .Blackburn away would be attractive .
RE: Who do we want? - Devongone - 16-10-2017
Kidderminster at home so you can look at two or three of their players with a view to signing them. Second round if they get there, Solihull, Dover, Aldershot - someone non-league with players good enough to make us want them. Don't think I'd need to worry about third round as it is highly unlikely we could beat two non-league teams.
Did Willock play for Kettering on Saturday and get cuptied?
Truro or Exeter or Plymouth away would be nice for me. Exeter used to be the only side worse in the cup than us.

Yeah but Exeter would beat us especially with the form they are in. Plymouth would be interesting Two teams both bottom of there leagues.
