there are 11 teams left that are based in the south-east or London...so a good chance still of drawing a fairly local club.

[Waltons Left Boot]

Want: Stockport or Spennymoor away, or Orient
Will get: BillerEgo or Boredomwood at home

[The Guvnor]

I reckon we'll get one of the remaining sides left in the competition home or away.

[Blue & White Army]

What end are we going to give Brackley when we draw them at home?

[Ally]

The home end!

I was slightly on my own celebrating today's goal!

[Royal Blue]

Number 12, home to Leyton Orient thanks.

List of the runners by current league position.
I see 4 clubs who are probably seriously looking at the Trophy as a realistic piece of silverwear this season. All the others either have a league title or playoff spot as their priority, or are worryingly close to the trap door in their division.

We don't want Maidenhead, Maidstone or ETU away, or a trip to the Essex circus that is Bill and Ricky.

Anyone else away and the oppo will either go for it so as to avoid a replay midweek away trip, or put out a weakened side in the thought that if they go through it's a bonus.
Anyone else at home and our form will probably dictate what sort of side we face. If we're flying with 4 wins on the spin then the oppo probably won't put as strong a side out as if we appeared to be "beatable"

Worse case scenario is 9 NL sides in the last 16, best is only 7. If the draw is kind that could mean either only 3 or 4 left in the last 8...

It's do-able isn't it?
