Seriously, what's more important, progressing to R4 or the lure of going out to a bunch of millionaires and (in better times) the chance of a selfie at a stadium you've seen on Match of the Day ?

An absolutely wretched draw.

Anyone else think like me that Huddersfield might not field their strongest team??

I'm sure they won't. They have fixture congestion, like the rest of us, and will use the match to give their players a bit of a rest, and those needing game time to get up to match fitness.

Full first team it will not be, so always in with a chance.

Agree with above

Not the worst draw for us and while all the focus is on potential giant killing results and Prem clashes,hopefully Argyle can slip under the radar and get a result to go through to the 4th round

It's got to be all about the money not about the prestige of beating a bigger team.

Is there any reason whatsoever it can't be both?

Not really - but I think the point briangreen is making is that since we can’t go and enjoy and since you get no more (financially) for beating Huddersfield than Man City or Spurs...

...Why would you want a harder tie. Gotta say I agree.

I’d of rather had an “easier” opponent and at home. But this is winnable!

...in which we will be drawn away to Barnsley.

Huddersfield will probably play their first team players. Ironically, a Premier League club would probably have been easier as they might have played their kids and fringe players. So this fixture is probably as difficult as Argyle could have faced at this stage of the competition.

Huddersfield Town fan here in peace.

We almost certainly WON'T play many of our first teamers. We have a long injury list (only one striker & one winger fit, plus we have no option BUT to play one kid in central defence because we only have 1 fit senior CB). We play a very high energy game, with a very small squad of players many of whom frankly look knackered. We do have some promising kids who I expect will get the nod for this fixture, but I don't think they'll have enough (yet) to beat a mid-table Lg1 side.

We also have a terrible record in cup competitions going back a LONG way, & we were dumped out of the League Cup at home to Rochdale.

I'm not one of those doom & gloom supporters (for the most part I'm very happy with the direction my club is going in), but for my money, Plymouth have to be regarded as strong favourites for this tie.

You should beat us with your kids. We are more lower than mid table with relegation form since November and terrible away record.No way are we favourites. We recently got outplayed by the Crewe kids.

It is the kind of game we sometimes win entirely unexpectedly- can’t say I care that much but progress would be nice.

Okay I have signed up with fa Player what happens on the day - never used this before - is it a case of finding the Argyle match and just clicking on it at kick-off time or can you do it sometime before kick-off? Thanks.
