What’s it to be....... A home tie against Truro City, Ossett Town, Gainsborough. Or Blackburn, Bradford City, Peterborough away
Would rather have a winnable home game and progress to the next round, save the big clubs for our 3rd round tie.
We will know very soon.

If ‘big’ or beatable is the criteria then this is a bad draw - League 2 side currently in a playoff spot.
But it could have been worse and at least we are at home

I'll take that. Perhaps they're concentrating on the league. It's a side people have heard of. We're at home. I might've preferred a less on form team from league 2, but it's close enough to think we might win. You never know, magic of the cup and all that...

History experts, are we really 4-0-1 / 4-0-1 against Accrington? I remember a win and a loss at home but had no idea they were almost another Stockport against us.

If we have delusions of the Football League then Accrington should be our role models. A good test and winnable.

Bruce will know for sure, but my brief internet search suggests we haven't played them since the 1998-99 season in the Northern Premier League so I don't know how much we ought to read into that stat...

Happy with that draw. It's a home tie against league opponents. Not expected to win given our respective league positions but would expect us to lift our game and give them a match. You never know....
