Charlton vs Cray Valley is fun - under 4 miles apart
Chesterfield V Portsmouth
Hereford V Gillingham
Crewe V Derby will be on TV
As for us, if we take it seriously we ought to be looking to get through but it will be a poor crowd, if people thought it was low last Tuesday, well I can't see more than 3,000 bothering for this one.
Charlton vs Cray Valley is fun - under 4 miles apart
Highly winnable if we play our 1st team but I don't think we've played a cup game under LW that we haven't dropped at least 5 regulars & as yesterday proved we haven't got a deep enough squad to get away without all our key players. A good chance to progress & hope for a good draw next round but I fear the worst. COYP
Home to Shrewsbury in the 2nd round.
Only previous cup meeting was in the League Cup, over 2 legs in the 1st round in 1989/90. Lost 3-0 there and staged a fightback in the return but lost 4-3 in agg.
Not played them in the league since Feb 2014, Jack Grealish scored that day but we lost 3-2 after being 2-0 up.
Shrewsbury are currently 18th in League One. They've only scored 7 goals in 15 games, and away from home just 2 goals in 8 games. Gives us a decent chance to make the 3rd round if we put our best team out.
Edit: Forest at home to Everton at 5:30 pm Dec 2, so we'll probably play on the Friday or Sunday.

If we put out a decent team and with the home tie, this match is easily winnable. They don't score many away from home, are struggling in league 1. It's a realistic chance of making the 3rd round and putting some much needed cash in the coffers before a very important Jan window
Come on Notts, this tie is winnable, it's time for us to get to the 3rd round. Please Notts.
