Bit of a silly poll, but I accept it as a bit of fun.
What I will say, though, is that I hope Garry et al take the competition seriously. I appreciate that staying the in Premiership is everything financially, but the next round at least will not involve postponement of a league game, it will be played on a Saturday or Sunday with seven or six days to recover, so there's no reason not to put out our strongest team. Particularly if we get drawn against a side that can be expected to give us a hard test.
Come on Garry, I want to see the Swans lift the FA Cup before I pop my clogs.

I agree, strongest team or at least a team well capable of beating whoever we face wherever we face them in each round we are in.
As the season is longer than last season there are free dates up to and including round 6, the only league fixture that clashes with a potential FA cup round is the Leicester away game on 18th April which would be the semi final stage.
We have 29 points after 20 games. We are almost there in terms of PL safety. No reason we can't go all out in the FA Cup.
It would be great to get back to Wembley.
And of course as the Beeb have said twice now, we are the only current top flight team yet to play in a FA Cup final... let's change that!

I agree. For the last few seasons I've thought the league was everything and was almost glad to be knocked out of the cups. However, this season we are practically safe and Saturday proved that we have strength in depth in the squad, so let's go for it. I fancy another trip to Wembley.

Its just a way to gauge how people are feeling in terms of confidence?
As someone else says it is down to the luck of the draw some of it
If Garry picks a side to "match" the opposition, round by round, I think we could make history, being the only current Premier League club not to lift the FA Cup...apparently.
This year would be as good a year as any to give it a go, as we're pretty "solid" in the league....not to mention the fact that I had a little flutter at 50/1 back in August

A quarter of the Premier League are definitely going out in this 3rd round.
Newcastle, QPR, Hull or Arsenal, Everton or West Ham, and Burnley or Spurs.
(And Southampton and Liverpool might slip on a banana skin as well.)
Given that opportunity, I hope we make this a priority over the league games and try to go as far as possible. I'd be glad to have a semi-final at Wembley and see what happens.
I'm hoping for us to get Bristol City assuming they beat Doncaster in their replay.
Blackburn away is winnable. Gutted it's not a home draw. Them lucky Cardiff fans always have home draws. Gutted none of the big guns drew each other. I really want us to go for this cup now.
My methods are not favoured by some but by god i speak the truth.
Pick the strongest possible team against Blackburn. Home draws in rounds 5&6 we can beat anybody. Then it's the semi final, and we have a decent record at Wembley. Will mal pope have to write us another song?
When I saw the draw, I was disappointed. Fancied a weekend at Brighton or Bournemouth. I have us down for the Semi finals, but would really love a Wemberleeee day out at the end of May when the sun is shining. The height of optimism. FA Cup win and bright sunshine (I'll accept p1ssing down as an alternative) We're safe for another year at the top table. Let's go and win the Cuppppppppaaah and shut our "big club?" cousins up about a cup they won playing in Black and White.
If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.
