Players are too soft and naive. They haven’t come up against a non-league clogger with a long thrower. Maxwell will have a rough game. Hopefully Duff plays the more experienced players like Hogg. Apparently Tamworth are an old fashioned bit of a rough Arse team , personally think Wrexham were similar bit obviously with a lot more quality . We have some physical players who can handle that type of game in the likes of lees and Pearson . We will be fine although the pitch may be a leveller Would agree they’d be very similar to Wrexham and we dealt with them from a defensive standpoint pretty well. I found them pretty old fashioned.Long ball forward,get players round the ball playing for seconds with aggression and when get the ball get it wide and whip crosses in. I think we’ll have more than enough. |

I think we’ll have more than enough. Teams that come a long way in a short space of time - regardless of level - seem to have those same hallmarks. I remember watching Liversedge on their rise a few years ago and they were also very similar. Simple things, intensity. Where they faltered was in quality of players for the level they reached. |

Town will just need to watch out for Tamworth's long throw specialist, Tonks. It can be a throw in on the half way line and with stealing a few yards he can get it right into the middle of the penalty area. I've never seen such a long throw.

They aren't even a decent National League side, there should be no hint of a Tamworth win on Friday.

why you think this ? When stanley beat us, we were in bad form. This time we are i ndecent form and players have to preform to keep their places. Players are too soft and naive. They haven’t come up against a non-league clogger with a long thrower. Maxwell will have a rough game. Hopefully Duff plays the more experienced players like Hogg. We do better dealing with that type of game. |

5-1 town. Radulovic who's accustomed to 3G pitches to get a hatrick.

Tamworth wear red shirts, black shorts and red socks, so there's no reason why we can't wear the famous blue and white stripes (with white shorts and black socks) - is there?
Live on terrestrial TV at peak time - that's what we should be wearing, anyway!

We played against cloggers in pre season did alright did we not ? the pitch will not be a factor, like back in the day. Recently our players have stood up to physical battles fine such as Wrexham. I think if we go about the game as we have being we will have more than enough . Remember we are 2 divs higher and as of last season, some of our players were 4 dvis higher . |

Live on terrestrial TV at peak time - that's what we should be wearing, anyway! It's only BBC2,most people will be watching Corrie,we may as well wear bin bags,be only Town fans and a few from Tamworth watching it,no one else cares. |

This is the biggest game in Tamworths history and same for their players and fan's. There is always a big shock in the first round, surely not us but that pitch will cause us problems, all the other ones did in the league games.

We're a more enticing opponent than Everton (and Norwich) they've faced in the 3rd round of the FA Cup not that long ago? Cool - we're more massive than I knew, I shall re-evaluate my opinion!! 🙄😆 🫡 |

Us, Brum, Bolton and possibly Wrexham were arguably the biggest draw they could get in the first round. We are in a much smaller pond now🤔 Had they got a more localish derby its probable they would not have been on tv?? |

I think this’ll be an easy nights work for the lads with Wiles on the scoresheet again with the space he’ll be afforded.
