[Foody]

Good thread. Totally worth starting a new one.

 

[RammyBlade]

Risky but if we win well ,you never know it might give us a bit of confidence.
If we lose however ..................!!

If Bristol get an early goal then I can see us losing this.

I'm fearing the worse, I think rovers will get at us from the start and not let up

 

[Brian Deane]

Barnet all over again or perhaps another Altrincham

 

[Snowflake]

...or Worcester or one of dozens we have won comfortably
How many have we lost in the last dozen against lower league clubs ?

Not really any excuses if we can’t win. But if they do manage to get at us, we should get a recording of the game to show our players, how a so called inferior team should play against teams of a superior level.

knockouts by teams in a lower division since 1980:

1982 Altrincham
1986 Derby
2006 Colchester
2007 Swansea
2019 Barnet

Funny, only Altrincham was an away game.

Pretty solid against lower division teams, especially when you consider that Warnock and Wilder made little effort to win in 2006, 2007 and 2019.

Wasn't that after a replay though when the mighty Altrincham drew 2-2 or am I really losing the plot

Yes, Altrincham was after a replay. We chucked away a 2-0 lead in the first game.
