DRAWING Accrington Stanley away is one of the toughest draws we could have had in the FA Cup.

When you get this far in the competition you are always liable to get a tough draw. We have probably got the second toughest draw we could have had and away from home. In one way it's a tough draw but in another it should be a decent crowd so we can get some money that way.

It's a tough draw, no doubt about it, but we have done well in the cup so far.

At some point on the way we have to take a scalp if we want to keep progressing.

It's a good test for us. At this moment in time, in keeping clean sheets, there's no reason why we can't get a result.

We've done well in this competition and from now on, everything is a bonus. But we want to get in that first round.

People say we have been fortunate with the draw but you are only fortunate with the draw if you win the game.

Redditch (against Woodford United) thought they had an easy draw and ended up losing in the second qualifying round.

No game is easy, you have to do your homework. We have had to work hard for both of our wins.

I thought Tonbridge were a decent side. For being two leagues below us, you can see why they're top of the league and I won't be surprised if they don't go on and win it.

Conditions were difficult but I thought we played the ball well at times and opened them up at will.

I know how important it is for the club. It was a big pressure game for us really, because we had everything to lose and not a lot to gain.

That's four unbeaten for us, three clean sheets in the last three. The strikers are scoring, so I can't be more pleased.

And now it sets us up nicely for two very tough games at home against Northwich, who are top, and Nuneaton, who are second.

They are both at home, both big games and both should have big gates. We are unbeaten in four and we are looking forward to those games.

It would be nice to be the first to beat Northwich. If we can play as well as we can, there's no reason why we can't beat them if we get a few players back.

We have a long injury list with Les Hines (thigh), Jai Stanley (knee), Nick Colley (hamstring), George Clegg (knee), Jamie Smith (neck) and Liam McDonald (ankle), who had to come off on Saturday.

We will just have to see how those progress over the next few days. We will just take it easy with them.

I am not too hopeful that anyone other than Liam McDonald will be fit for those games.

It will stretch us to the limit and it makes things more difficult.

We just have to keep our fingers crossed that we do not get any more injuries but there's not a lot a lot you can do about it. If you carry a small squad this can happen.

We have to do the best we can. We have done well over the last four games without those players.
