They'll be a better side than Bristol Rovers. Rubbish draw really.

Also, if Cox has been growing that beard since August, what the hell happened???

Very winnable, no chance of being on the telly. Bring on the big guns in the 4th round

Chance to make History as Barrow have NEVER made it to round 4, bring it on and i think the game should sell out.

It will be tough but they won't like coming here. I'm hoping the town will get right behind it and it will be a sell out at Holker Street. keep your stubs for the fourth round.

Grim.
Not a chance of TV with all the big teams in it. More people will tune into Man Utd/Reading than Barrow/Rochdale.

TV is possible......Reckon Preston v Arsenal is a cert...

Great to finally get a home draw but disappointing opponents..... But like others have said its winnable..

Reckon we will be the last Non league team left in looking at that draw....

Had a feeling it would be a home tie. Holker Street deserves a 3rd Rounder after so many years whatever the opposition. Its a win:win for us I think and Rochdale will be expectant if a little uncomfortable

One positive - I don't think the thought of Rochdale will sway the attention and concentration of the squad much. We need to get back to the bread n butter stuff.

It's near fords of Winsford in Preston.

They will show a non league side on TV on the Friday night the one with the biggest chance of an upset

Hope the town gets behind the club and we have a chance to make history

They are only 3 points better off than Bristol Rovers in the table despite being a few places higher.

I think we have to be in with our most realistic shout of Round 4.

0% chance of being on tv
10% chance of beating them. This is still a club two leagues above us dont forget, and we rode our luck vs bristol. Concentrate on the league lads.

That's just plain spooky Daz.........I'm genuinely frightened at that!!!

At home, in our confident form, I make us favourites for this. Rochdale scored in the last moments to salvage a draw at Maidstone in round 1.

Another omen from that tie; our name went into the fourth round draw. If only we'd beaten Southampton away ....
