Official Match Preview

I heard Peaksy say in the Basford post-match interview that Jack Ashton would be missing for the Ashton game. Do we know that for definite? If the King's Langley result was allowed to stand he would then end up missing 4 games instead of 3.

But last Tuesday's game is officially 'abandoned' irrespective on whether the result stands.

Hoping we see a much improved performance for this game.

I honestly think we will though, can see the lads being well up for this game.

Still seems unfair that it could potentially count as a game having been played in terms of the league table but it doesn't count for his suspension.

Having missed a couple of games and a fight or two, really looking forward to this match. We are more than capable of winning this one, we just need to focus on nothing more than the game itself. Let the football do the talking. COYD

We will, I'm confident of that, no reason for us not to be up for it, we may be at home and not that many places in the pyramid below our opponents, but I still think we'll go into the game as slight underdogs, so that'll hopefully suit us. I'm really looking forward to it, especially with what's at stake, 90 minutes from a potential game against a Conference (or 'National League' :roll: ) side, and 180 minutes from a FL side, it's an exciting stage for clubs like ours

Glad the unbeaten run has come to an end, think there was more pressure on the team than anything else.. Just hope the players can go into this game with the determined attitude as we know they can do.. Spalding, holbeach, Dover, Cambridge City.. Loads of others but they're the stand out ones for me. This is one of the biggest games of all, lets make it an occasion This will be a test, but I'm confident we can be in the hat for the next round.. Should that happen a tiny bit of me would love a conference side but as the first round draw would be a dream achievement maybe an easier tie would do :lol:
