League form goes out tge window when it comes to cup competitions. How many times have we knocked out higher league opposition? I think we'll be favourites and get a draw at minimum, but to say we'll win comfortably is tempting fate IMO

Last time we faced Step 6 opposition in a competitive game - Bedfont & Feltham - we made a right pigs ear of it and were quite fortunate to beat them 2-1. That was in the middle of our 10-month unbeaten run during 2015.

Only a handful of players that were involved for us that day 2 years ago are still with us.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Less than 2 years ago and only Bully, Shanks and Sam in both starting line ups, from that day and last Saturday.

Well that was a nice stroll in the park on a sunny afternoon. Credit to Tivvy for a spirited performance the like of which we may need in a future round. Roll on Monday, let's have anybody at home.
