Nothing to lose for Moneys... Fareham face tough test

The west country team are unbeaten at the top of the premier division and will present a daunting task for the Copnor club.

‘It is the toughest draw we could have got at this stage,’ said Carter.

‘They are flying at the moment and we are under no illusions.

‘We are not expected to win so we can go there with nothing to lose.

‘At the same time it is the FA Cup and the history of the competition is littered with surprise results.

‘It is a one-off game and we will go and give it everything we have got.

‘We have plenty of quality and experience in our squad.

‘Our aim is to go there with a game plan to try to frustrate them.

‘If we can do that then we have plenty of quality in our team to cause them problems.’

Stone said: ‘Unfortunately, we picked up a few more injuries in the match against Portchester.

‘With all the players we have missing through injury and holidays it makes it tough.
