00:00by looking back at last week at Halifax. What a way to finish. What sort of reaction have
00:15you had from the players this week?
00:17Yeah, unbelievable game and to score two goals in front of the following that we took was
00:25incredible. We gave the lads a couple of days off after that because they exerted a lot
00:33of energy into the week, three big games in a week. But yeah, come back in and then it
00:39was all focused on working really. Like normal, nothing really changed too much and yeah,
00:45obviously you've got now a great cup title to look forward to.
00:50And when it is a cup title, when it is the FA Cup, do you approach it in any way differently
00:54at all?
00:55Not really. Obviously, we pay huge respect to our opponents. They're on an unbelievable
00:59run, flying high in League One, got some real firepower. So we've got to be wary of that
01:07of course. But at the same time, we're on a good run ourselves and just focus on what
01:14we can do and what we can bring to the game.
01:17How much of a, when I say a test, it's always going to be a test, isn't it? Because there
01:20are a couple of divisions higher. But the form you're sizing at the moment, is it a
01:24test of maybe how good you actually are at the moment?
01:27Yes, it's a great test. One that we feel we're ready for. We want to put ourselves against
01:37some good opposition and at the moment, at this level, at this stage of the FA Cup, there's
01:43probably not a tougher game that you can come up against. Bermondon and Wrexham aside, we
01:49are remarkably the informed team in the league. So yes, like I say, we're under no illusions.
01:55It's going to be a real tough afternoon. But one that we feel we're ready for as well.
02:00We want to put ourselves against the best and see where we are. We're going to need
02:05a lot of luck and it has to be our best to even compete. But that's the challenge. We
02:13look forward to all the challenges that we've come across so far and we look forward to
02:18this one.
