Against the worst Dover team for decades apparently.

Listen to the last 30mins on bbc sounds Amantchi scored but had 3/4 clear chances that he missed commentary said without him Maidstone don't look like scoring, Amantchi is a big unit but sure our back line will handle him.

They do seem to be giving us quite a few clues as to how best to deal with them

Having snuffed out Matt Smith and Andy Cook in recent games he he shouldn't phase them. That is unless he is the next as yet undiscovered 'big' thing (perhaps Iain Wood has him down in his black book). Of course the simple answer is to cut off his supply,even Haaland and Kane can't score without the ball.

We seem to be getting very nervous about this game with forum members scrutinising every match in Maidstone's fixture list. It won't be easy because they're on their own 'plastic' turf but to analyse all their results and all their strengths and weaknessess leading up to the forthcoming cup tie is going slightly over the top. If any of their fans are reading this forum they'll be getting the idea that we're shit*ing ourselves! Think positive. And think about who you'd like to meet in Round 3 :D

Not taking anything for granted at all - any non-league team may cause an upset - but, since you ask so nicely, the lowest-ranked team left, at home, in order to maximise the possibility of making club history by being in Round 4 for the first time.

Good answer. But personally, I'd prefer The Magpies (away) if only to complete our hat trick of playing against North East Premier League teams in the FA Cup. :D

And unlike Sunderland and Middlesbrough I think it'd be a bumper crowd!

Absolutely bang on Sam, the squad we have,the season so far, no arrogance here, but we should beat them convincingly,but the fa cup throws up some mystery and surprises we all know that. Be interesting to see how many supporters make the 12 hour round trip. Let’s put this game to bed for now, we have 3 challenging league fixtures before it.
