Well, we are away from home, somewhere in Greater Manchester, playing the winner of FC United of Manchester v Altrincham. They drew 0-0 at weekend, the replay is tomorrow, so we'll know the exact opponent very soon.

I'd have much preferred a home draw, the least they can do for us now is not put us on TV. Can't remember the last time we went to Manchester to play a non-league side, nope, completely blocked it out my mind.

    I don't care who or where we play; I just look forward to a real competitive cup run. I always feel disappointed when we exit early; we used to have that grit to go further in the rounds, and the money’s good, especially at the stages where a big club may come to Meadow Lane.

    The League Cup, I care little about and understand that fans would rather focus on consolidating our League One status, but sod it.

    We have a good squad, highly capable of competing in this league, provided we work hard, support the lads as fans, and avoid weakening ourselves. A cup run could be a great chance to bring fringe players into the first-team harmony.
