its a good draw for the 1st round, i think they will be wanting to cause an upset and the money to them wont be something i think they would take for granted. we need to apply ourselves well and win the tie to show we took it seriously.

I find Notts tends to count their chickens before they are hatched when it comes to cup games, so I doubt it will be an easy path to the next round and both teams must show that they want to make the 2nd round. I would be disappointed, because it seems like a while since we have enjoyed a good cup run. They have beaten Woking, and will be wanting to make a second strong display against us. It could be tougher than it would suggest.

I won't be attending, I doubt I would make the allocation for it and would rather leave it to those more deserving but it will be a good first round tie. The teams who have qualified will be feeling the buzz generated from the cup, I just wish Notts will approach the game seeing that it is a good means to boost fans and the clubs income.

Nice draw! I can’t wait to catch the game. Fingers crossed it gets picked for TV!

We’re all hoping Notts can go far in the cup! If I’m remembering correctly, I don’t think we’ve made it past the first round since the Reedtz era started. It's been a bit of a struggle, hasn't it in the cups?

With the game not being at Meadow Lane, I think there will be somewhat less pressure to produce the goods. I wonder how Martin Paterson will treat the game, and if he will use it as he has with the EFL trophy games? It could be a test to see who is deserving to start in games. Tyrese Hall has stepped up much since his lift in form.

I would like to see this from other players.

I like the drama and excitement that is built from the FA Cup, a lot of good League Two teams who have gained promotion to League One in the past have enjoyed successful campaigns in it. I am yet to see Notts reach the 3rd round, so it would be nice if Martin Paterson can get the most out of this squad.

I would have preferred Woking myself, we know Neal Ardley quite well and whilst his teams are usually decently structured. They do not tend to be all that focused on attacking against good teams, more defensive.

I enjoy the FA Cup, and I agree it has been awhile since Notts has really blossomed in it. I think the focus on the league, at the cost of making use of such a large squad, tends to be a negative aspect. There's no reason why this game or future rounds should distract the club from the league.

It will only cause a distraction if it is allowed, so the right squad playing will be important to manage players minutes well.

I know many of a fan will be wishing for the club to focus on the league, but winning games especially cup matches can be something to ignite a season. We didn't start as our best, but there's no reason why we can't take each round as a chance to reward the players who are grafting.

If the 2nd round can be reached, it would at the very least give the players some excitement and momentum to encourage positive form.
