Tbf, they are offering a bit on the counter. Pacey boys up top. Jones scares me. So they've half a chance there. Bloody love the FA Cup

We need a second goal in this as Banbury sound dangerous, if it stays at 0-1 they will be rampant in the last 10 mins.

No cause for concern. Today is the chance for Zanzala to shine. There is no shine ATM.

I thought this could be a tough match but it shouldn't be! Banbury are poor and can't put in a forward pass worthy of the name. If we don't win this match by 3 or 4 we should be shot. However, after completely outclassing them for about half an hour we've stopped going forward at all and letting them have too much possession. Luckily, they haven't a clue what to do with it but that doesn't mean a long throw, a free kick or a corner won't drop for them in the penalty area. We desperately need a striker in the transfer window as Zanzala has become a waste of space.

I think if you listen to the Radio Cumbria commentary you’ll get a different perspective

Ian Wright and Grant Holt praising Zanzala. Russell and Nick say he's been shite. Who's right?

My impression is that there have been afew occasions when our tackles have been a bit helf hearted and also a few occasions when we have been careless with the ball - eg close passes a fraction short. If I was Cooper, I would say they have done ok but need to sharpen up a bit.

Was like men against boys for 35 mins.
We need a quick second goal to finish them off. I’d like to see Kay get some minutes.
