Stourbridge boss tells Glassboys to finish FA Cup job against Plymouth
Tuesday 22nd November 2011, 7:00AM GMT.
Stourbridge manager Gary Hackett today roared out an FA Cup battle cry and urged his men to finish the job against Plymouth.
The Glassboys host Plymouth in their first round replay tonight, aiming to cause a massive upset against the League Two Pilgrims.
They are unbeaten at home in the Southern League Premier Division – winning six and drawing one ahead of tonight’s clash which is live on ESPN.
And Hackett reckons their best chance is tonight after a 3-3 draw at Home Park 10 days ago.
He said: “Some people say you only get one opportunity against league clubs but I don’t go along with that – it’s rubbish.
“There are plenty of teams who get a good draw away and then finish the job at home. It’s about how we play on the day.
“Without a doubt people can find it difficult to cope, in the first 20 minutes against Plymouth, we didn’t get out of our half and found ourselves a goal down.
“But hopefully, having played them once, we know there’s nothing to fear and we’ll give Plymouth the respect they deserve.
“The bookies aren’t often wrong and they are still making Plymouth favourites but maybe our odds have shortened now.”
