TROLLS PLEASED WITH CUP CHANCE

Posted on: Tue 13 Nov 2007

Paul Trollope has welcomed the prospect of his side facing two home matches for the chance to make the third round of the FA Cup.

The first team coach watched his players draw 1-1 with Leyton Orient last weekend to set up a replay at the Memorial Stadium next Tuesday.

The winners of the tie will then go through to host non-league Rushden & Diamonds in early December for the chance to take a place in the third round proper.

"It's a good draw for us, and it's a potential home tie for ourselves or Leyton Orient," Paul told bristolrovers.co.uk, "We're happy with that, but we've got a big game against Leyton Orient coming up first.

"That will be another tough match, but to have two games in front of us for the chance to make it into round three is something we'll take and be happy with.

"We know our results haven't been fantastic at home, but we are confident that our performances will lead to wins eventually, and hopefully that will be the case in these those two games.

"Whoever goes through, ourselves or Orient, you always know in the FA Cup that upsets can happen. We saw that over the weekend, but I'm sure whichever one of us does progress through will be looking to progress another stage further against Rushden."
