[Ballers]

Saddo statistician here:

1) Until we lost at home to Darlington in 1983, we'd never lost (home or away) to a Fourth Division club.  I'm not sure we've ever lost away to a club from the bottom flight.

This actually had me thinking about our record against teams in the top flight, or rather the intitial meeting with them (discounting the replays). Unless Wolves were in the first division when we played them in the 60s our record is p5 w1 d2 l2.

Statistically, if we were to play a Premiership team (away from home) we're more likely to get a positive (draw or win) result against them than lose. Not sure many non league teams can say that!

Ballers,

Wolverhampton Wanderers were in the old Second Division when Alty played them in January 1966.

Spurs also did us in 1995, therefore it is four defeats.

[Dougals Dad]

Still about on a par with Derby County last season

Have you lot got FA Cup fever or something? You're supposed to be the wise old heads.

The key words in the post are "initial meeting" and "discounting the replays"

So Ballers do you fancy us at 5.3/1 to beat Luton on Saturday?

[Ballers]

No.

[thegazelle]

lump on it

Think if we got someone like rotheram or grimsby we could really look at the match confidently from a fans point of view as theres a good chance of an upset,

the thing that worries me about luton is there players will see this as an opportunity to give their fans something to cheer about this year not as a break from the league as others do.

If we had drawn Rotherham we'd had got murdered. Take away their points deduction and they'd be in the top three of the league!

[Ballers]

If we'd have got Grimsby we'd have murdered them, they haven't won yet. Think it's drawn 6 and lost 8. They are away at Morecambe in the worst tie of the round.

What about Histon to beat Swindon? I,m sure Swindon will enjoy their game against Histon.
