Eyes down, look in! The second round draw will be live tomorrow on BBC 2 at around 7.45 pm during the FA Cup highlights show. Hopefully the BBC will have found footage of our game by then, or perhaps they’ve sent the film to Boots for processing.

I wouldn’t be surprised. After Tamworth’s heroics on Friday, I had a feeling that the Tamworth connection would continue and Jellis would pop in the winner today. I was wrong he didn’t pop it in - he hammered it.
I hate this round, with the riches of a possible 3rd round giant so tantalisingly close and banana skins in the way.
Brackley or Gainsborough at home would be what I’m looking for.
Way this season is shaping up a third round shock v someone struggling in prem does seem mildly possible when you see how the Leicester game went so club needs to get in the 3rd round draw again and see what happens. Also would boost the kitty for January.
So no SHA/Wrexham away draw please if they both get through.
