If i had to agree with you we would both be wrong
With tonight's win behind us we progress to Hartlepool at Home.
Bit of a long drag down for them but as normal hoping for a City win and on to a bit more money in the coffers.

The already announced move of the game to the Sunday might not be such a bad thing given that the Exeter Thiefs are at home on the Saturday.
At least the trains will be able to stop at SJP Halt!

In RaWZ we trust....Amen.
A shame the game is on a Sunday with a slightly early KO than we are used to for a afternoon game.
That is the price clubs pay for taking the TV companies & sponsors shilling unfortunately.

The 2nd round should hopefully generate a bit more interest than the two first round games.

Hartlepool have a good recent record at SJP.

If we don't play the strongest squad we have I'll be very annoyed. Round 3 is the most important out of all the rounds IMO. Would love a good tie in the 4th, however realistically well probably end up with Blackpool away or some rubbish.

No reason why we wouldn't play a strong side. We did last night, and a week between games (ignoring the u23 cup and the leasing.thing where we will play the youth/ reserves)

14th in the conference. Won 7, drawn 7, lost 7. They will no doubt be well up for this one, but so will we. We should win, but you never know with the Cup

I can't see MT letting these sort of games slip. Tisdale was too reserved when approaching lower league teams where as MT will be the complete polar opposite. it'll be different type of challenge for MT but if anything like the Devon derby is to go on, MT know how's to keep his team up for important games.

They will be totally up for it. It's up to us to equal their upforitness.: our superior class should do the rest.
