3 changes from the side which faced us last week and they’ve just rocked up at QPR and won 1-0

We beat Brentford 2-1 in the FA Cup in 2008. Probably one of our best non league giant killings but there was only one division separating the teams then.

I believe Yates and Bowler did not play against us though both were on the bench. As a result Lavery tended to play up front rather than out wide.

This might explain why Blackpool looked a little blunt in the final third on the night though matched by by a really excellent bluebirds defence.

The Blackpool back line and midfield were indeed at full strength thus making it very tough for us up front.

It’s pretty clear tactically therefore what the Seasiders were trying to do and it didn’t involve overwhelming us with fast flowing open football. They were trying to grind out a result at minimal cost. That we stood up to that plan and ultimately overcame it is a magnificent testament to the squad and should rank high in the history of historic victories whatever system you use for ranking them.

Apology accepted, Suffolk Blue

2-1 against Bristol Rovers in 2016, away from home, and two divisions separating the teams.

Just to throw another into the mix. What about the 1939 /40 War Cup games against Liverpool ??

First leg at Holker Street on 20 April 1940. Barrow 2 ( T. Harris 2 ) Liverpool 0. att 5,963.

Second Leg at Anfield on 27 April 1940. Liverpool 1 ( Fagan) Barrow 2 ( T. Harris 2 ) att 9,147.

Liverpool side included Matt Busby, Billy Liddell and Bobby Paisley .

We went out against Stoke City 1 - 8 on aggregate in next round.
