West Ham have drawn Gillingham in the third round of the FA Cup and there has been a mixed response to this from West Ham United fans.
West Ham will travel to Priestfield to face League One side Gillingham to start their FA Cup adventure. With West Ham starting to struggle in the league, the Hammers must be looking to go on a good run in the FA Cup.
They will obviously be favourites going into the tie, but the Gills will be out to upset the Premier League side, especially considering their poor form in the cups in recent seasons.
Fans are calling for a full strength side as they hope to avoid a repeat of the 4-0 loss to League One side Oxford United in this year’s Carabao Cup…

READ WEST HAM VERDICT
West Ham fans are absolutely right in what they are saying. Their team needs to take these kind of games seriously, to avoid a shock in the cup.
If they do take the cup seriously, they would have a good chance of going far, and this would be of delight to the fans and the club alike.
