Pre-match views from the Match Thread:
mikeosullivan: “I thought the home game was the biggest difference in class I had seen in one of our league fixtures for many years, so I don’t hold out any hope we can come away with anything tomorrow.
Pardingdon
Jackson – O’Connor – Roughan
Darikwa – Erhahon – McGrandles – Reeco
Moylan
Makama – Cadamarteri
Montsma I would save for the more important game on Tuesday. And its not very often I can say that a Vertu game is more important!”
Chimpimp: “As long as we don’t do anything stupid like score in the first minute we stand a decent chance.
We aren’t a challenge they will be very excited about. Good but second string Birmingham side that don’t play together regularly….a bit of luck and a scuffed shot into the net in the 90th minute and Man Utd or Liverpool in the next round beckon.”
berksimps: “I hold out as much hope as before the Burnley game eight years ago. Anything is a bonus, so keep it 0-0 until the 80th minute then see what happens.
An unexpected City win: via penalties, an own goal, huge deflection or a wonder strike (most unlikely), who cares?”
