Another repeat from a few years ago. We have a habit of getting teams over and over. MK Dons, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn spring to mind as teams we seem to always draw.
Haven't we had MK Dons twice in recent years with one going to a replay?
I remember Faurlin got injured away and there was a home tie under Harry?

Correct! We drew them away back in 11-12 with a 90th minute Helguson goal sealing a 1-1 draw and a replay. That game will be remembered mostly for Faurlins first ACL and Warnocks final game before being sacked. We won the replay 1-0.
We then drew them at home in the 4th round in 12-13 where we lost 4-2. Bothroyd and Fabio scoring for us
Is it just me who feels that the FA Cup is all we have to play for this season? Sadly the same problems of a makeshift defence and poor strikers means we will struggle there too....
Definitely kingfisher, we should be seeing the draw as a great opportunity to get into the 4th round playing a lower league team. But we have all seen this story too many times before so nobody get's excited anymore. Every year it's (quite rightly) the same messages of 'MK Dons' are through then'.
We haven't been past the 4th round in 20+ years now and we've only made it to the 4th round a handful of times. Anybody born in the late 80's/early 90's onwards probably has no idea or memory what the 5th round of the FA Cup even feels like! That is ridiculous really.
Come on QPR, let's have a run this year as it's the only chance to have something to get excited about!
