IT'S A big game and we will treat Stourbridge with the respect that they deserve. We've done our homework on them, as we always do, and will go there fully prepared.

We are very much looking forward to it. It's a local derby and has all the ingredients to be an excellent Cup tie. We know that we will have to be on our game and do a professional job.

I remember playing for Walsall at Aylesbury back in 1990. We had to fight for every ball on that occasion and win the individual battles in order to make progress. It was a tough test back then and I am expecting it to be no different on Saturday.

Everyone wants a good Cup run and hopefully we can get past this first hurdle.

There is sure to be a good atmosphere and we need our supporters in good voice and behind us from the very first whistle.
