Nottingham Forest fans split by FA Cup draw before Leicester City clash

Nottingham Forest supporters are split after finding out that they will face Huddersfield Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup if they advance past Leicester City at the City Ground this afternoon.

The Reds ' potential date in the next round was the penultimate tie to be drawn out of the bowl by former Manchester United striker Andy Cole, and for some fans, it was hardly worth the wait.

Others are eyeing a prospective all Championship affair as a favourable opportunity to reach the quarter-finals, at which point they would be one win away from a day out at Wembley Stadium, where today's draw was conducted.

Here is a selection of the social media reaction to the FA Cup fifth round draw.

MaybeBray: Huddersfield at home… not even sure I want to go if we just have to see that, terrible draw.

Fame Razak: Ooh I like that draw.

Dom B: If my research is correct we haven’t reached the 5th round of The FA Cup since 2014 so Huddersfield at home it will be if we prevail.

Eve Tomlinson: That is not a prize. A prize would be Manchester City or Liverpool or Tottenham at home.

Thomas Payne: Hard to think of a worse draw really.

Liam Devlin: Wouldn’t be too bothered if we were dumped out the cup today. But a big chance of getting a quarter-final if we can pull it off. Nice incentive, winning is a good habit

Will Thorpe: Decent draw that if we can get through today, good chance of making the quarter-finals.

Foxy : We win today, play Huddersfield and possibly get past them we find ourselves in the quarters a game away from Wembley.

Dan: Not complaining at that draw. Get through tonight and there’s a very good chance we could make the Quarters; the furthest we’ve got for over 20 years!

Adam Gray: Huddersfield isn't the most glamorous 5th round draw, but it's winnable. Got to win today first though!
