Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have shown their disappointment following the news that the Old Gold could face Tranmere Rovers or Watford in the FA Cup.
On Monday night, Tim Spiers was on hand to relay the draw for the fourth round, that will see Nuno Espirito Santo’s side play Tranmere or the Hornets should they defeat Manchester United in the replay (per Tim Spiers), which had fans gutted.

Should Wolves play the Under-23s in the Man United replay following the draw for the next round?Yes, get the kids in
No, go full strength

With many alluding to last season’s FA Cup semi-final where the Old Gold was knocked out of the competition by Watford (per BBC), they were dreading the possible tie.
However, this season Wolves have the Europa League to contend with, having progressed to the knock-out stages (per Mirror), so an exit may not be the end of the world.
What do we think?
With Wolves thin squad stretched across three competitions (per The Guardian), the Old Gold may be best served, as many fans suggest, playing a weakened side against Manchester United.
As the draw has lined up a possible replay of last year’s semi-final, the tie may not quite have the allure to persuade Nuno Santo to go hell for leather in the competition.
