There will be no quarter given in the next round of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, judging by an intriguing draw made on Soccer AM on Saturday.
Helen Chamberlain and Max Rushden revealed some exciting pairings after turning over the cards live on Sky Sports.
Overseen by The Football League’s partnership manager Stuart Trigwell, the area quarter final draw threw up some mouthwatering clashes, with last season’s finalists Brentford drawing fellow League One side AFC Bournemouth.
It was the fixture that neither side would have wanted, bearing in mind that all other sides still in the southern section are from League 2.
In the northern section, spare a thought for Bradford City, whose reward for beating high flying Huddersfield Town away in round two is a trip to Bramall Lane to play Steel City giants Sheffield United.
Full draw:
Northern section
Rochdale v Preston North End
Chesterfield v Accrington Stanley or Tranmere Rovers
Sheffield United v Bradford City
Oldham Athletic v Crewe Alexandra
Southern section
Swindon Town v AFC Wimbledon
Cheltenham Town v Barnet
Oxford United v Southend United
Brentford v AFC Bournemouth
Ties to be played on the week commencing November 7th.
Johnstone’s. Bringing colour to the beautiful game.
