A draw and a replay would do for me but Dover really should have too much quality for us so I predict a 2 - 1 defeat. We've had a great run the players have done a brilliant job so far.

I'm a believer, I think we'll win by the odd goal, either 0-1 or 1-2.

On paper we should lose, but football is played on grass.

We definitely have players with the ability and they will all need to be at the top of their game, but if they do bring their A game, we can definitely cause a shock!! No room for any passengers tomorrow!! We (the fans) have a massive role to play too - lets all bring our A game and make tomorrow special!!

The Magic of the F.A Cup is all about David and Goliath, its what had made it special over the years and everybody hopes a minnow will progress through the rounds to face a real big Goliath on the telly.

If they play with believe and have that piece of luck needed then they can progress, its not impossible, just play the best they can and lets see what happens.

If you have the fire power that we possess then we have a very good chance. OK they have only conceded 7 goals in 10 league games, a very similar record to Cambridge City, and we managed to put three past their keeper and were unlucky not to score more goals.
I'm feeling very confident that we'll get a positive result.

I've been reading on Conforum that Dover fans are really quiet, so if we make some noise, we could swing it in our favour 8-)

Really big call for Starmer tomorrow with the midfield. While it has been settled and has been getting results I think the starting four were relatively weak in both the Cambridge and Harborough games, compared to how they played when changes were made later on. I'd love to see Sean back in the side, and in his interview last Sat the manager agreed he inserted more energy into the side than Harris and King did in the first half. I also think Wizz or Gearing would be significantly stronger in all areas frankly than Liburd on the right. I'm hoping Starms is brave, changes his winning team, and brings one of those back in, probably Wizz.

If king is available think he deserves a start, he seems to have the right attacking attitude and drives the team forward

King can look out of the game and thing not going his way then bang he scores, like he has done in the last two games.

Can we afford to be carrying King for 80% of the game just in the hope that he'll do something magical in the other 20%? We might already be out of the game at that point.
