The PMC Stadium boss said: '˜It would have been nice to have a home draw but we will approach the game in a positive frame of mind.

'˜They play at the same level as us and we will make sure that we do our homework.

'We have already shown at Bradford and Bashley that we are capable of winning away from home.

'˜At this stage of the competition, whoever you meet it is going to be tough.

'˜We will prepare right and aim to get ourselves into the last 16.

'˜It is only our second-ever year in this competition so what we have achieved already is outstanding.

'˜We have a lot of young players who are learning all the time.

'˜The average age of our team must be around 19 or 20 years of age.

'˜They showed at Bradford just how hard they are prepared to work for each other.

'˜As a team they play with great enthusiasm and want to keep improving.

'We like to get the ball down on the deck and play our football at a good tempo.'

The tie is scheduled for the weekend of Saturday,Â January 5.
