Just giving myself a few moments to ponder "what if" we beat Alfreton, and that is still a big IF.
Who might we be drawn against in next round. I have worked on idea that we will not go south of London nor much north of Alfreton.
So unlikely I will get a trip to Eastbourne or Bognor.

Some interesting possibilities.

(R) means like us they have to win a replay.

Cambridge City(R) or Concord.

Brackley or K*ttering

Boston Town or Boston Utd (R)

Old foes Basford or Royston (R)

Hereford or moneybags Billericay (R)

A Step 5 club maybe.... Ashton Athletic or 1874 Northwich or just for Claudiu..... FC Romania (R)

Whoever it is lets just have a home tie.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves :blink: . Need to turn up on Tuesday and avoid doing a 'Barwell' and falling flat in the replay.

Great display from the lads yesterday. There has to be a bit of disappointment that we didn't hold on but to get ourselves in that position in the first instance was bloody brilliant. The atmosphere was great - it was 'one of those days' that you'll remember for a while.

Yesterday showed we should have nothing to fear on Tuesday night. Our front 4 caused them all kinds of problems and with their number 6 likely do be absent (not sure how he managed to finish the match, let alone score) I fancy us to do the business. I just hope there's a big crowd there to see it and it's not another Barwell-type performance.
