Well that's the most uninspiring and unattractive draw we could, apart from Chelmsford, have ended up with....

Couldn't have been much worse than that.

That's easily the worst and most uninspiring draw we could have got. However...they aren't exactly setting the division alight are they?

I can't stand same division draws, especially away from home. Totally removes the excitement of a cup match.

Agree with other comments, from a financial point of view not a good draw. In the club’s current financial position a reasonable cup run would have been most welcome.
Still not all lost, but it will be difficult.

I suppose at least there will be a decent attendance (gate money is split 50/50 in the FA Cup). But still a boring fixture, especially when you've just played them away last month in the league.

But then we were rather spoiled last season with cup draws, weren't we...

Do we know if our loan players will be allowed to play. Assume Chelsea would not object but what about Sutton?

I hope Maidstone don't sack Elokobi before we visit them.

They've just lost 5-1 at home to Chelmsford.
