While we're not one of the smallest clubs at our level, and are fully pro, the example of North Ferriby Utd should remind us all that banana skins are always a risk, whatever the differences in the clubs' statuses.

And Stamford more recently. There is absolutely no room for complacency.

I think if we treat them with the same respect as if we were playing Salford or Leyton Orient away in the league we'll win comfortably. Hopefully we can teach them a footballing lesson, although I think the key will be to score early.

I think the main lesson we need to take into this match is be utterly ruthless. If we are one or two up don't take the foot of the gas, go for more goals and keep them under pressure. None of this sitting back inviting pressure onto us. We need to go for that 3 or 4 goal margin.

Just to be clear - my point had nothing to do with complacency. I do not take for granted that we win but personally I would prefer to lose and all be fit for the league campaign than win and lose Summerfield for 6 weeks.

Definitely this.
