FA Cup Picks 2023-24: Second Round Part I

 Here are my picks for the first three second round proper ties of the 2023-24 FA Cup. Last round, I picked 24 of 40 ties correctly, which was a personal best since starting in 2015-16 on various other media, including (but not limited to) my old Twitter (now X) feed. It would've been 25 correct, but Barnsley were thrown out of the Cup for fielding an ineligible player. As with the first round and all rounds, the score predictions are for the whole tie, not necessarily the date of the original fixture.

Friday:

Notts County 2-1 Shrewsbury Town (actual 2-3; 6pt)

York City 3-1 Wigan Athletic (actual 0-1; 4pt)

Saturday:

Alfreton Town 4-5 Walsall (actual 0-1; 20pt)

Maidstone United 6-4 Barrow (actual 2-1; 20pt)

Wycombe Wanderers 3-1 Morecambe (actual 0-2)

Blackpool 4-3 Forest Green Rovers (actual 3-0; 20pt)

(Saturday picks to be continued)
