I can ‘ t say I am all that optimistic about this match . Aldershot are going well , playing better in the National League than they were in the Football League , showed plenty of pace and attacking ideas in the first game down there . They have nothing to lose , all the pressure is on us .
I would certainly like us to scrape home as a trip to West Bromwich Albion is something for us fans to look forward to for sure .
Predictions ? I have a terrible record with forecasting games , ok , I am going to say it will be 1 - 1 after extra time and Aldershot will win 4 - 2 on a penalty shoot out . We have a fairly poor record with penalty shoot outs and most of our regular penalty takers are out injured !!
But I DO expect us to see off Sutton United on Saturday and despite our injury woes we have a golden chance to cement our place at the top of the table , even be seven or so points clear , so the heartache of tonight’s match will be quickly forgotten and we can move on , although I do love the FA Cup , and when you think of the best and most exciting game at Edgeley Park in recent years it has got to be that FA Cup match against Bolton Wanderers when we won 5 - 3 !!
We could do with a deep freeze weather wise , have a load of matches called off to take us to the January window , still at the top , to re enforce the squad with a few signings .
So predictions :
County 1 Aldershot 1
Aldershot win 4 - 2 on penalties
also
County 2 Sutton United 0
