    Certainly be the favorites.

    TV will be gutted Wrexham went.

    I see the BBC called it a massive shock - didn't they play Harrogate last season?

    Good job this missed "goal" didn't matter btw for your boys?

    Yep , the goal that was that wasn't was a weird one , the final outcome was another corner bizarrely enough .

    Posh were like Jaywick Town reserves for 1st 10 mins & like peak 70's Brazil last 10 according to mate & his mrs , into round 2 so that's main thing .
    Poku is leaving in either January or in Summer , I wouldn't mind seeing Michael Adu Poku 19 yr old Watford winger out of contract next May & currently on loan at Solihull Moors take his place , he looks raw & we do ok signing players from you , Assombolonga did ok .

    Burton v Tamworth is a possibility - East Staffordshire derby and Burton are bottom of League One.

    Happy with another home tie.

    Huge thanks to Harrogate beating Wrexham, as that had ensured an extra tv spot for better games.

    Given the teams that were left when Wealdstone came out, it's kind of a shame in a way as there were some favourable options to try and get round 3. Wycombe at home though is a very good draw nonetheless.

    I understand there'll be an interesting documentary about what top football do on their days off...

    I listened to a Posh unfiltered podcast where the clubs media team get to know players & their backgrounds & Kwame Poku as a 16 year old had a trial but was deemed not good enough for Barnsley as well as the Real Dons ( twice ) & Brentford , you learn random shite everyday ;)

    Good luck to the non league teams left in the comp starting with Gainsborough tonight at Harrogate who are a weird team as they manage in the league to beat the bigger clubs like Bradford , Donny & Chesterfield at home not discounting Wrexham in the last cup round but tend to do poorly against the smaller clubs hence where I think tonight's shock may come / happen .

    As for Posh , which Posh will turn up , should be a good watch for the neutral tomorrow at home to Notts County who've sold their initial 1,700 allocation whereas Posh decided with a lot of people who get paid monthly receiving payment today decided to put prices up on Wednesday , very poor by the hierarchy & it looks as if many are voting with their feet .

    Luckily for Posh I'm at work , strange stat re County as in I've never in 6/7 home games seen Posh beat them but in 6/7 away games I've never seen Posh lose to them , the draw beckons tomorrow then dreaded penalties .

    Few high scoring games and the Orient keeper providing one of those classic FA Cup moments with a late equaliser against Oldham.

    You're not wrong .

    Both ours & Crawley v Lincoln will be a good watch on the highlights show Sunday night BBC2 at 6 o'clock , apparently Counties 3rd goal in the 96th min was a calamity as is Posh's defence in general .

    Anyway , in the hat for Monday nights draw at 7pm , ball number 56 , with both ourselves & Exeter going through I'm going to have to pick another League game to go to as that will now be a week night jobby .

    Good goal that from Kettering , I imagine Grant McCan't will be ageing a bit more after that & fully deserved .

    Absolutely dreadful performance. Kelly and Sterry having abysmal games. Just a continuation of our problems at the minute, how can you have one of the football leagues greatest ever goal scorers and not even give him a sniff of a chance

    I'd be surprised if you didn't turn it around in 2nd half now you've changed shape , utilising width more & have 2 up front to aim for .

    We lack so much creativity at the minute I really don’t see us turning it around

    Kettering look tired but definitely more hungry than Doncaster.
    Sharpe is a nasty little turd

    We looked extremely tired by the end of that but still had a couple of chances to equalise towards the death. Plucky effort but well done to Doncaster. Good luck in the next round
