I'm not automatically sharing the pessimism ot those who fear for our Cup safety on Saturday; if we attack O.K. and seal up the midfield supply lines, we should be all right.

On the other hand, looking at Eastleigh's forwards gives cause for concern. They have proven goalscoring warhorses of the lower leagues like Midson, Strevens, Odubade and, most dangerous of all, James Constable.

Getting a touch long in the tooth, but still well capable of making mugs out of our defence.

We'll certainly need to concentrate hard. This is not Ashley Ward versus the Gresley Rovers back line, far from it.
