    I watched the draw live on the FA's website (thank heavens for the internet!) Hoping our tie, with its potential for an upset, is chosen for live TV - would probably get to see it live over here!

    Me too - end up a decent draw, especially if we get on TV

    Quite a tough test we need to really be up for this.

    We capitulated and were rolled over easily at Crawley a couple of years ago....

    I know a lot of people talk about this being tough for us, but looking at their position it really shouldn't be.

    If the first-team can handle this, along with the league, then let them play. Otherwise, I would be more than happy to see some of our backup players given a chance, and to field a few of the academy kids.

    To be fair, those that do make it from our academy will probably be playing in the Conference any way. We only started ramping up our academy efforts under McInnes so the current crop are unlikely to make any noise. However, we apparently have a few up and coming players in our ranks, so I reckon this is the perfect time to start fielding them.

    A team like so would be interesting to see against Tamworth:



    Fielding/Castanheira

    Wilson King Carey Bryan

    Kilkenny Hall

    Jordan Ajala Dobie

    Burns/Holloway


    A good mix of established players and youngsters. If Tamworth will be hungry for an upset, it'd be nice to field some equally hungry players that want to impress.

    Quite agree Ender but that statement is soooo tempting fate to bite us in the arse, again !
