Scrappy game, they'll probably get the win or a draw; either way I see us being poor, hope I'm wrong. I'm still a long way off being convinced about our midfield and defence.

Why will they? They get spanked in their own league and we're in League 1.

We should win this one. They are average at that level. 4/7 with the bookies.

[calvin plummers socks]

And we spanked a decent little Braintree outfit last year who were a Conference play off contender...

Yes, we'll be saving our best for when your fans have had their little rant and decide to show their faces

Because they will be more up for it than us (they always are, same as us when we have a big draw) and our midfield and defence is weak. It's got all the credentials for an upset in my book. Again, I hope I'm wrong and we are strong and want it as much or more than they do; just going on what I've seen this season and I'm not that confident tbh. Plus I've seen many a weak town side crumble to non league outfits over the years to make me feel anything but overconfident. I'll be gobsmacked (though highly delighted) if we go there and blow them away like many are predicting.

I predict lots of enthusiasm from our opponents, lots of 'huff and puff', and lots of early endeavour.

However if Saunders and the players do their jobs properly it should be a comfortable win over semi-pro's struggling three divisions below us.

Braintree weren't up for it but we spanked them and they were better than these lot. Semi pro. We should be hanging out the back of them.

Yes, we're as far above them as Notts County are above Salford. Now how many did NC thrash them by, I've forgotten now?

[Goku]

It's an unlikely scenario.

Agreed - just as unlikely a scenario as Salford City 2 - Notts County 0.

FCUM 1 Chesterfield 3

Not quite because we're a League above County and we've got a good away record.

And FCUM are in the league above Salford so the differential is the same

However we have SEB and Novak and they had McRubbish and Stead

[Benno Spire]

So far there are 30 predictions for the away cup game at FC United of Manchester

2 people have predicted a home win
3 people have predicted a draw
25 people have predicted an away win

still time to add your predictions

[antony hawkins]

FCUM 2 CFC 0 . I hope I am wrong though.

All being well you'll be a couple of goals behind by then.

[Exharboroughspireite]

Scrappy one nil win with lots of long ball chucked in.

[valemadness]

FCUM 0-1 CFC
