Midweek FA Cup games always blur into the endless midweek PL and Championship fixture rounds, especially since they tend to be played on the same days with cup-involved teams postponing their fixtures. Glad to see the FAC being given a higher profile, and I agree that the home advantage will be magnified for lower league teams who aren't going to get walloped in the replay if they draw their home game. I do wonder if some smaller teams in financial trouble might agitate to swap their home ties for away ones to boost gate receipts, though. Those replays at bigger grounds will have brought in some valuable cash for minnows over the years.

hopefully get some mad results along the way given the bigger clubs can't rely on a replay to bail them out when the little team gets the upper hand or stays neck a neck with them

Any idea where he's going?

In the last 10 seasons, and I'll exclude goalkeepers, these are the players we've signed from League One: Matt Crooks (after relegation) Uche Ikpeazu (after relegation) Sam Morsy (after relegation) Duncan Watmore Anfernee Dijksteel (after promotion) Marc Bola Paddy McNair (after relegation) Marvin Johnson Lee Tomlin (mid-season after relegation) James Husband (after relegation) Albert Adomah (after relegation)   It's not a big list of players at all, and almost all of them, bar Husband and Ikpeazu, were decent signings. You could also easily exclude 7 of those players since they'd played the last season in the Championship, leaving the list as Watmore, Dijksteel, Bola and Marvin Johnson.      

Che Adams was signed from League One by Birmingham, after being signed from non-League by Sheffield United. Josh Brownhill started his career at a League One club and was signed by Bristol City on the back of a League One loan.
