Cup holders v a National League North (that's tier 3 in the pyramid) team?

Risk of a Cupset?
Well we only beat Bridgewater by 1-0 a couple of years back and we made that look like hard work, so nothing's ruled out. Let's just say it would be really disappointing.

Match will be live on the Women's FA Cup YouTube channel and FA player.
 
This all probably goes with saying, but someone should probably say it anyway:

1. I don't fancy WBA's chances of scoring against our defense.

2. If they park the bus, which seems likely, I'm not sure how much I like our chances of scoring. Fortunately though, given #1 above, we shouldn't need more than one.

3. I'd feel a lot better about it with a healthy, re-energized Ella Toone on the field. (But then, I'd feel a lot better about everything with a healthy, re-energized Ella Toone on the field.)
 
At this point last season we were playing worse than we are now and still managed to put four or five goals past a heavily backed tier two Newcastle side.

There's always the danger of complacency of course, but this really should be a walk in the park.

I'd be delighted to see Ella back, and I'd like to see Emma Watson get another run out as well.
