    Whilst it is 11 v 11, I don't think it's Wednesday-ish to expect a team of professionals playing 4 divisions higher to comfortably see off an 11 made up of semi-pros who train twice a week and have actual proper jobs to go to.

    "Teams like Fleetwood" last week would've been highly disrespectful given they're a small side but in the same division. We absolutely should be comfortably beating teams like Horsham.

    100% agree with you.
    However on a one off the underdogs raise their game ,its a cup final for semi pro s to take on full time professionals.
    This is why cup upsets are so common.
    We have not lost ,I hope it gives some not all a kick up the backside.

    I was at that Enfield home game in Jan '81 and I remember the fighting outside in the car park, between the police and their fans. I'm not sure if our fans were involved.
    Maybe some bigger London clubs fans came that day just looking for an upset, and also looking for trouble. Its a shame really that they can't take their shandy!. :rolleyes:
