A tough FA Cup tie against League One Accrington, but a game we are capable of winning. Accrington sit comfortably in mid table in the division above, but I actually think the gap in quality between the two sides is smaller now than when we played them in League One last season (if there is a gulf at all).
Rovers have a fully fit squad to choose from, with the exception of Stefan Payne, but I expect we will set up with a similar starting line up and formation to Tuesday night. It is interesting that in his pre-match interview Ian Dawes mentioned a 'positive approach' and 'not being afraid of the opposition', on several occasions. A definite break with the recent past.
The money from an FA Cup run would be very useful, as it was in the last two seasons, but it would be particularly nice to get one over on Accrington's pious Chairman, Andy Holt, who presents himself as a guardian of football morals on Twitter, but was happy to throw us under a bus last season.
