2nd round this weekend. Leicester at home to the mighty Dag and Red.

'Ave it!

Also looking forward to Sunday's match at the Glass World Stadium, Histon.

1-0 Barrow, former Hull City player David Brown. Not a bad game.

Crackin' win for Barra, just wish I'd put more than a quid on them at 3/1

If our game at Bradford Park Avenue is off today then I'll be off to the Bradford City-Orient cup game to keep an eye on ex-RMI striker Steve Jones making his debut for Bradford.

Decent enough effort from City today, would have liked us to have had one of our wingers available as I think things could have been different, but Orient just had that little bit extra for me, even though we did have a good go at them towards the end.

Orient's first goal was an absolute cracker but a real sucker punch for their winner.

Without wanting to sound biased, I think you might have created more chances if Jones was given the opportunity to run at players in the same way that he showed on a couple of occasions in the first half.

Foxes thrash Dag and Red 3 - 2.

Jones had flashes but I don't think his match fitness was there to be honest, so he faded in and out of the game a bit.

It was terrible defending for Orient's winner, not even sure their player knew too much about it - looked like it went in off his shoulder from my viewpoint.

Good result for Eastwood. Would be ironic if they draw Man Utd as they are playing host to FC next week.

I understand that he's been short of games recently because of a complication with an injury he picked up at Huddersfield, so only to be expected, I suppose.

I was sat on the Kop and was sick of my glasses steaming up whenever I breathed so, coupled with the mist, I must admit that I didn't get a particularly good view of the winner

That doesn't sound like City at all
