I'll be the first to risk sticking my neck out for this banana skin of a tie...

Notts 0-1 Oxford City.
Nightmare memories of Haven'taclueville 0-1 Havant & Waterlooville resurface.
Even worse nightmare memories of getting stuffed by Salford City 2-0 on national TV resurface.
TheBlackHorse will blame Duffy 100% for their goal even though Duffy is sat in the stands.
On a serious note, if Nolan makes the squad sit through the full replay of the Salford game on Saturday morning to ram home the point you have to match your opponents for effort and desire in order for your superior skill to win the day, we should be ok. Attendance wise, in my opinion I think 4,250 is the most we can expect.
4-1 Notts

One thing for sure is we will have ZERO excuses. A week to prepare, at home, almost a full squad to choose from.
I suspect that we will win comfortably, with most of our goals in a 4-0 win coming in the last 15 minutes as Oxford tire.

Despite their lowly position in a league 2 levels below ours, Oxford will be up for this. They left out a number of first choice players on Saturday to ensure they would all be available for next Saturday (avoiding 5th bookings). The financial rewards from winning this match are potentially massive. What would an away tie at Spurs or Man Utd bring into the coffers of either club?
I’m expecting a massive battle to get through this one. The optimist in me says 2-1 to Notts with 5432 attending.
