The Saddlers are bidding for a third run to round three in four seasons but must overcome a potential banana skin away to National League strugglers Gateshead on Sunday afternoon.

Sadler's troops have already negotiated one potentially tricky tie having won 3-0 at Eastleigh, also of a division below, in the first round.

The head coach insists staying in the moment and focusing on the challenge at hand - rather than looking at a possible FA Cup glamour tie or League Two challenges ahead - is crucial in being on the wrong side of an upset.
