At the ground, fairly big car park but I'd expect it to fill pretty quickly. Could be up to 1000 people there today

Very happy with the performance and result, I'd have taken a draw but so so close. It was a hell of a cross for the equaliser so no shame there. We need to work on going forwards with more positive moves but to run one of the league favourites right to the end was very good. A few players need to build match fitness, but it's early season and will come.

1-1 was a fair result, obviously it hurts though to concede after the allotted 7 minutes added time. Really encouraged overall by that display.

Would be interesting to see the exact time of the equaliser, 7 minutes was what I expected given all the subs made and stoppages, but really thought he should have blown before the cross went in and we would have finally won an FA cup game for the first time in what, 6 years?

The difference between our team and performance today and the last time we were at Steel Park was stark, we are clearly much stronger and bigger and that will certainly help us this season, last season, particularly in the first half, we just got bullied every game by stronger and more experienced teams. We were well organised and defended for the most part well and lots of positives in the performance against a decent side, just a shame we weren't able to manage the game better at the end and get the win.

Win on Tuesday and we get the opportunity to get revenge on the 'Highwaymen', Newark & Sherwood United, formerly Newark FC who beat us 5-0 in the cup of course.
