Let’s hope we can make the most of it, there are a lot of big teams out of it now

If we can keep getting home draws, perhaps this could be our year? 👍🏆 (🤞) 😉

PS. Hungerford (H) in the next round?

Exactly, a lower ranked team at home would be perfect.

Yes. You watch though, knowing our luck, we'll probably get Barnet, Southend or Gateshead away!


PS. I know, typical glass-half-empty attitude! 😂😂

Every side on that list shouldn’t hold any fears for us. Very much up for grabs. Luck of the draw & some non cup-tied reinforcements in attacking areas will be the key. For me this should now become our priority for the remainder of the season.

I’d prioritise staying in this league before this cup, surely?

Of course but I feel the points we’ve accrued over the past 2 months mean that should be a formality from here.

I'm not sure this is like 1991, I suspect a Trophy run could work in our favour and give everyone a lift. And besides, if we're good enough to win a couple of FAT matches, we're good enough to stay up. Looking at the table, we would have to do very badly now to go down.

I’d like to think so, but 11 points off the relegation zone after we’ve lost Newby, Colclough and possibly CCC by the end of the month, still plays on my mind. Reinforcement’s required and at least 12 more points should see us over the line.

As long as we have Lundstram and Marriott in midfield, we shouldn't flirt with any kind of danger this season.

Wouldn't have minded Notts scraping through - clearly they're not prioritising it and I doubt the next round is advanced enough for them to change their approach. Would have brought a lot of fans through the gate.
