.. it’s not because we think we can beat them more easily (let’s face it, on our day the team at the bottom of the league can hold us to a replay, and who knows whether we’ll win that?), it’s just to save us from another trip to the godawful Kenilworth Road – because Luton Town are the alternative side on offer to us in the next round of the FA Cup, should we progress.
Yes, today was FA Cup draw day – and despite former Reds midfielder Steve Hodge being involved, it wasn’t a particularly good one from our point of view. Another away draw, against teams a fair distance away – one of whom we’ve already travelled to this season (and been beaten by!) in the league.
So I’m not too inspired, for a change! But first on the agenda is the replay against Lincoln of course, well, indeed – that comes second behind the league game against Crewe. So we’ve got plenty of distractions to occupy ourselves before we have to worry about it – ordinarily I’d not worry about the cup at all, but when it’s the FA Cup you can’t help but want to be in the next draw.
So anyway, to return to topic – good luck to Brentford against Luton!
