Imagine it will be quite close, and they might even be slight favourites.
Are you 12? We're in League Two in the EFL. They're in the National League which is a league below us. Regardless of their form I think they might just about be bothered about playing us at home. I imagine it'll be close too but to suggest they'd be slight favourites at the bookies is beyond mental.

I'm not so sure. Only currently 7 places between us in the Football pyramid. Could be even less come the 2nd round.

My view is that we have to get rid of this 'Poor little Newport' mentality.

The facts are that we are one game away from a potentially hugely lucrative 3rd Round Tie. We have been drawn at home to a team in a lower league. Quite right we should respect Barnet, quite right that we should acknowledge that Barnet will not be a pushover. However we should also acknowledge that it is a very good draw for us. Respect of any opposition is right. Fear is defeating. There has been for the nearly 60 years I have followed Newport County far too much fear.

With you on this Stan. We'll obviously be professional about any opposition we play but let's not be too reverential to any NL club. However, Barnet have Chesterfield away this weekend and if they turn them over then I take it all back...we're doomed.
