In chats ahead of the Leeds tie, there was general agreement that we are more suited to facing sides who can 'play a bit & will let you play'... ...rather than the 'stay strong & keep it tight' brigade.
I am happy that Bournemouth are in the former category & have lost a few of their better known players from last season and might even lose more in the next weeks too.

Not great but you could argue that they very much have bigger fish to fry, so might not take it all that seriously. Same could be said of Fulham if they get through against Burnley, who of course themselves lost at home to Lincoln the other year and nearly got beat by MK Dons the other day.
I'm sure we will give them a good game and they won't take us lightly, Also anything can happen with covid at the moment and either team can be affected by this. If we don't lose anyone in the transfer window or to the virus, I really think we can get another win..
"A Whitehall source confirmed to the BBC that the celebrations at Chorley and Crawley Town had been noted by ministers, who last week warned football's authorities they had to do all they could to justify elite sport carrying on."
Maybe we can regard it as a nudge to play out of our skins in the league, because if the season is ended early we might have a play off spot. I wouldn't want a chance at promotion because of covid and a football suspension, but it's something we can make allowance for.
so we could have a 5th round draw Southampton or Shrewsbury Town or Stockport County or West Ham versus Wycombe Wanderers or AFC Bournemouth what use is that to anyone?
You’ve picked the one tie that got postponed and the tie that was about to be played minutes after the draw. As it was, they didn’t get drawn against each other.

Good point Paul, despite the vaccine rollout a lot of population are contracting this new variant and a lot are not following the rules I think the season and football in general will be dependant upon this.
B'muff are in a very bruising fight for the biggest prize in the Football League, a cup run will be a big distraction. I think we have the same chance as with Leeds

People still not following the rules🙄
Well I won't be trying to get covid and spreading it everywhere just to make sure Crawley is in the play offs . I do have a love for the club, but not that much.
