Views from the Match Thread ahead of kick-off:

Skip155: “I think as supporters we’ve been dazzled a bit by our start in the league to the extent that maybe this has become a bit of an afterthought.

The FA Cup is a major factor in where we are now and if we want to push on next season we could do with winning this one and the next one and the next one please and thank you.”

Luke Imp: “These’ll be a sterner test than Bradford and Mansfield, especially with a significantly weakened defence and a bit of a mish-mash.

Anderson at RB? Gotts in Bridcutt’s position to release Grant further up the pitch?

MA seems to think they’re more direct than previous seasons (not direct per se) and get it up to Matt quicker.”

Riiiiik: “Would probably have thought “meh – FA cup? – we don’t need the distraction as we attempt to cement our place in League 1″, but in the current climate, I suppose, every penny we can make through progression in the cup means we operate with a little more certainty for our future.”
