F.A. Cup - 3rd

Probably the worst 3rd round draw ever.
Too many unfair all PL ties spoiling the romance for the underdogs.
Our draw bound to be televised so an added bonus
 
A not too bad draw really..
I'm tempted to predict that Boring Wood ( predictive text strikes
again !) will find it difficult to replicate their efforts of Saturday last ...as so often is the case !.
My second prediction is that Stanley will find themselves in the hat for Round 4 ..
However ....
 
Anyone thinking this is a automatic bye into round 4 are deceiving themselves.
Recall that last year they reached round 5 after knocking out Bournemouth, only losing to Everton in the 5th round.
I'm with Coley on this tie - we are the underdogs.
Let's hope Harvey is on goalscoring form.
 
Boreham Wood have a big, tough, experienced team, plus three loanees from Sheffield Utd and ex-Stanley Erico Sousa. And didn’t Piero go there too?
They beat Wimbledon (then League1), then Bournemouth (Championship) away, on their way to their 5th round pay day against Everton, who only managed a 2-0 win last March!
Although the Lancastrians managed to defy history in last Saturday’s Battle of Barnet, Stanley will have another fight on their hands.
 
Before we get too carried away here with negativity, I don't think anyone is going to underestimate Borham Wood. Least of all Coley and the team.

However, they're 11th in the National League, and so are obviously beatable.

If they win their game in hand they're in the play off zone.
