FA CUP SECOND ROUND DRAW, MONDAY 11th NOVEMBER [BBC2 7PM]

The draw for the Second Round of this years Emirates FA Cup will be made later on tonight, it will be broadcast live on the BBC Two Channel. The Dons have made it into this draw after a well fought 1-1 draw at home against Doncaster, so replay permitting we can have another cup run this season? Still not scoring enough goals and the league form has begun to pick up so maybe the rest of the season will be better as it goes on. Well done to National League South side Darlington who scored a 97th-minute equaliser to earn a replay with League Two Walsall. And also to Port Vale beating the Franchise failures 1-0 to dump them out of the cup already. They'll be a number of non league participants in the second round including Dover who beat Southend on Sunday afternoon 1-0 and the likes of Notts County, Kingstonian, Maidstone and Solihull Moors.

There are 40 Numbers in the "hat" for the Second Round, the draw is live on BBC TV shortly after 7pm on Monday night and will be hosted by Mark Chapman. The draw will take place at Oaklands Park, the home ground of Chichester City FC who of course got a 1st round bye into the second round. The final 1st round tie sees Harrogate Town against Portsmouth tonight. The draw will be conducted by ex Cambridge and Manchester United forward Dion Dublin and Mark Bright who played for Crystal Palace against United in the 1990 cup final.

AFC Wimbledon are ball No.23. Once again we hope for an easy home draw to see us in with a shout of the lucrative 3rd round tie against the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool or one of the Manchester clubs away (fingers crossed).

Let's see who we 'might' get in the second round although we do have a replay next week in Doncaster still to come for the Dons, good luck to everyone with a place in the third round up for grabs. Well it could be a trip to Sunderland but as both ties require a replay we'll not know until after next week.

Sadly there's no cup run for us this season losing the replay 2-0 to Doncaster, good luck to them against Gillingham in round two.
