Anyone who seriously thinks we just have to turn up to be in the 5th round needs to give their head a massive wobble!
This is the biggest game Exeter have been involved in for years, if not THE biggest game in their history. They are welcoming the present third best team in the country to St James Park. Probably one of the best teams in Europe, if i'm being honest. The place will be packed to the rafters with the vast majority cheering on the home side. This is their cup final!
All it is going to take is a fluke of a deflection, a poor referee's decision or some lower league clogger/future superstar to take out one or two of our players and that could lead to all sorts of problems and/or knock on effects for the rest of our season.
Or........... I could be wrong in all of the above and we go out there and knock in a cricket score!!
The united game that got them out the conference was probably bigger but I get your point lol
