Second Round Highlights The FA Cup

Welcome to the second

round of the Emirates FA Cup.

40 teams just a win away

from being in Monday's draw

and the chance of a money-spinning

tie against one of the

Premier League giants.

And, talking of Premier League

giants, Dion Dublin

and Kevin Kilbane are with me

in the studio.

And we start with the lowest ranked

side left in the competition,

Leatherhead of the Isthmian Premier

League, who travelled to face

a Wycombe side who've started well

in League 2,

and who last season lost

a seven-goal thriller to Tottenham

in the fourth round.

Robyn Cowen was watching

at Adams Park.

What might Leatherhead have seen the

seasons change since they started

their campaign, and entering the

winter months, they stand is the

lowest ranked side remaining. They

have gone with the strongest team.

Adebayo Akinfenwa leading the line.

Sammy Moore names himself and

assistant manager Jack Midson in the

starting XI. He will hope to equal

his record of scoring in every

single round so far. They are hoping

to reach the third round for a third

consecutive year. Jack Midson,

wrestled to the ground by Jon Batty.

Leatherhead win a free kick in a

very good position. Midson stood his

ground, John Batty all over him. It

is a decent delivery, and the

referee spotted something. And he

has given a penalty kick. Tim

Robbins and has spotted something

here. John Batty is being booked,

and Adams Park is absolutely

shell-shocked. Let's have a look. It

was swung in, and John Batty, you

can clearly see, is pulling the

shirt of Jack Midson. What an

opportunity this is for Leatherhead

to take the lead against Wycombe

Wanderers. Jack Midson will line up

this penalty kick. He has scored in

every single game so far for

Leatherhead in the FA Cup. A chance

for him to put them ahead with a

kick. And he's done it! Leatherhead

lead against the League 2 side of

Wycombe Wanderers. Incredible

scenes. They are FA Cup fairy tale

is set to continue here. Cool as you

like, Jack Midson. You never

expected him to miss. And the

assistant manager has given

Leatherhead a helping hand, and

given them the lead in this FA Cup

tie. What a start! Here is Sammy

Moore will stop in behind the

defence... A good save by Brown.

Wycombe rattled. A simple pass from

Sammy Moore, who was being played on

site. Brown may have just saved his

side from conceding a second goal.

Pulled down by Jacobsen. McManus

just kept it in. Jacobsen, wrong

side. Another opportunity from the

set piece here for Leatherhead. It

will be another Sammy Moore

delivery. It is another good one.

Off the bar! Wycombe are under the

cosh here. Ambroisine did so well to

win the header. Inches away from a

2-0 lead. They have never lost to a

non-league side, as a league side

themselves. They win the free kick.

South well was just shielding the

ball. Sammy Moore, the studs up. A

sore one. The second player to go

into the referee's notebook. The

manager is booked. Can Wycombe do

something from this set piece?

Saunders and Jacobsen. Saunders goes

for goal. Spectacular! It was miles

out. That is a fine goal by Sam

Saunders. What a hate! The keeper at

full stretch couldn't keep it out.

Just the right amount of whip, curl

and power. That is a beauty.

Saunders was time to turn. Here is

Craig Mackail-Smith. Deflected. A

big chance, that, for Wycombe

Wanderers. That was an excellent

challenge by Minshull. He was

Jacobsen... What a save! He thought

he had scored. A really good header.

And good reactions from the keeper,

backtracking, and managing to keep

the ball from going over the line.

Sammy Moore is furious. He was

clipped. It is a poor challenge by

Luke. Minshull couldn't keep it

down. What a chance for Leatherhead!

82 places above them in the football

pyramid. Akinfenwa! The keeper

couldn't get a hold of the ball.

Mackail-Smith puts it in.

Leatherhead couldn't hold out, and

finally, the pressure has told from

Wycombe Wanderers. Good strength by

Akinfenwa, and a brilliant strike.

The keeper did his best to get there

and try to repel the follow-up, but

Mackail-Smith just got lie in front,

and they lead now 2-1. Sammy Moore,

he's got to be careful. He's been

blocked. And he's lashed out. Could

he be in trouble here? The player-

manager is letting his frustrations

get the better of him. And could

this be the final stand for Sammy

Moore? It is, a second yellow card

for the player - manager, and

Leatherhead are down to ten. It was

a tussle with Jacobsen. He lashed

out. He was being wound up, but he

let himself get wound up. In the

end, he's paid the price. Here comes

across... Akinfenwa! Wraps it up for

Wycombe Wanderers. It's been a brave

run by Leatherhead, the non-league

side. Akinfenwa with the freedom of

Adam Spark to nod home Wycombe's

third, and work safely through into

the third round of the FA Cup.

It

was a proper cup tie, a real one.

Fair play to Leatherhead. I went to

the fans at the end straightaway,

because they made the atmosphere

today a cup tie. They have shown why

they got this far.

They should be

proud. These games don't come around

very often. I thought they didn't

leave anything out on that pitch. No

regrets, nothing to worry about

today. They went out there and put

an unbelievable shift in.

It really

was a great topic I -- cup tie will

stop Leatherhead could have been 4-0

up at the break after what was a

great first half. It was a real

threat for Leatherhead.

It was a

great game, a proper FA Cup. Either

team could have won it. Leatherhead

had their chances, and Wycombe

showed that little bit more quality

on the ball, get it well. This man

here, you can see him being pulled

in the box, just about to make his

run, and they go ahead.

It was

brilliantly finished. It is that

coolness in that position. You

think, just put your foot through

it, but...

Calm as you like. Mike

Magee was good at the other end.

Doing the job in both areas, as you

need to do as a centre forward. They

had to concentrate on where he was,

a real phone for Wycombe.

Sam

Saunders got them in with a terrific

free kick. We'd have seen him doing

this for Brentford over the years.

You can see a bit with the curl, a

bit like Roberto Carlos...

You see

it from behind, you get a better

idea of how he got it to bend

towards that post. Could the keeper

have got across? Because of the

distance on the ball? You see how

far he set it up, you have to give

him credit for a great free kick.

The keeper should have done better.

When he looks back, he won't be

happy that he conceded from 35

yards. The taker will be thinking,

perfect, just where I wanted it.

Talking of strong line-ups,

Akinfenwa. A real thorn as far as

Leatherhead are concerned.

Technique

as well. He has got the strength and

the focal point for the team that

they can play off. He is a decent

player. That ball from Matt

Bloomfield is a great ball in, and a

great finish from him.

He has worked

so hard for the team that he's

thinking, I don't fancy chesting

this, I am going to head it. And he

connects perfectly. He does a job

for Wycombe. The centre party is

thinking against our thinking, I

don't fancy it today, so he has

already got them psychologically.

His quality is recognised.

And he is

not allowed to run all over the

place.

It is a case of beauty and

the beast. Two belting cup ties this

afternoon.

In a moment, Blackburn

against Crewe, but we start

with National League Woking taking

on League 1 Peterborough.

COMMENTATOR: National League Woking

have taken their fair share of

scalps over the years, so

Peterborough arrived warily at the

stadium, hoping to make their

loftier status count. Up towards

Baxter, he has to make the save. It

is forced home. The visitors had the

lead. Woking worked their way back

into it, and on 40 minutes, a golden

opportunity. A player bundled over

in the box - penalty. Wood chairs

Isaac be the man's

Isaac has missed

a penalty! -- would chairs Isaac...

Woking possessed a man with some

form in giant-killing. Here is

Nathan Ralph. Goes out side Penny

again. Yes! They have levelled it up

with eight minutes to go. 1-1.

And

it very nearly turned into a one-man

show.

Jo Ward comes onto his right

foot, towards the far post. He has

hit the crossbar. Absolutely

incredible.

We said we would be

brave and go for them, and we did.

It was disappointed dressing room,

and I felt the players. Part about

is happy we got the replay and

played well, but we missed a

penalty, had chances at the end. A

bit of mixed emotions. -- part of us

is happy.

A seven goal thriller in

this one, Rovers the victors.

Dominic Samuel gave a well executed

finish. The manager couldn't have

wished for a better start, or could

he? Graham soon found himself on the

scoresheet, Samuel the supplier. The

two forwards linked in well

together, Rovers were in Crewe's

control. The pass found Samuel, who

coolly took his time to two. Done

and dusted, surely. The League 1

challenge is making it look easy

against the League 2 strugglers.

There was drama to come at the other

end as Rekeem Harper pulled down

Chris Poulter. The referee was quick

to deliver a straight red card.

Rovers went down to ten. Some hope

from the spot before the break. With

a one-man advantage, Crewe look to

capitalise. Unlucky to hit the bar.

The drama wasn't over yet, though.

Perry clashed in an off the ball

incident that wasn't quite picked up

by the cameras. So much for the

romance of the cup. No love lost

here. Blackburn's numerical

disadvantage went from ten to nine.

Crewe were quick to make it count.

Eddie Nolan heading home from a

corner. Game on. Alex looking to --

looking to capitalise from set

pieces, the pressure was on again.

This time, Porter from a header.

Surely Crewe could not complete the

comeback, or could they? Porter, on

a hat-trick. Hopefully, it won't

keep him awake tonight.

What an incredible cup tie, the fact

that Crewe came back from 3-0 down,

and it's been tough for them.

Such

an exciting game to watch,

particularly how it unfolded.

Blackburn were so good going

forward. You can see their style of

play under Tony Mowbray, and the red

card changes everything, and that is

what changed it.

The first one,

Rekeem Harper, it looked a bit soft.

Egos over so easily. It's just

contact.

I think it is the wrong

side.

Is it a red card?

It's a

goal-scoring opportunity in that

position, so I think it has to be.

Referees interpret it as a foul and

he sees it as a goal-scoring

opportunity, so no option.

Elliott

Bennett was the other player from

Blackburn to get his marching

orders.

As the camera starts to

move, there is some leg movement

from Elliott Bennett, and I believe

there is contact in a very painful

area. So, there you go,

unfortunately, it's not the place to

get kicked. He gets a red card as

well. That's when it all changed

everything changed and Crewe came

back into it and started to play

some great stuff. Tony Mowbray went

from standing on the touchline to

sitting down thinking, oh, what have

we done, and Crewe deservedly got

back into it.

Tony Mowbray was going

for it himself as well. He wanted to

get a goal. It got very open, one

that you don't normally see.

It was

brilliant.

And Woking taking an

Peterborough, who are doing well on

the league front. I tell you what,

Woking put in such a good

performance. They dominated at the

beginning and end of the contest,

and they will regret that missed

chance.

The same sort of game, so

exciting. The way Woking applied

themselves, the pressure they put an

Peterborough, it was a great cup

tie. Another brilliant game.

I

wouldn't say Peterborough were

hanging on, but you can see the

chances that Woking had towards the

end. Peterborough had to dig in full

Woking were unlucky. Very unlucky

was Peterborough did a professional

job, I have to say.

And Woking go in

the hat for Monday.

There was plenty of Cup action

in Lancashire this weekend,

starting on Friday night when AFC

Fylde of the National League

welcomed League 1 leaders Wigan,

who you may remember lifted

the trophy only four seasons ago.

Just past the far post. It's a

chance over the top of the crossbar

from Lee Edwards. Will Grigg scores!

Will Grigg forward and athletic. --

Will Grigg for Wigan Athletic.

Forcing his way through, Johnny

Smith, good save. Penalty, game on.

1-1. Non-league Fylde are in the hat

for the third round of the FA Cup.

Fylde earning a replay and

meanwhile...

Meanwhile, neighbouring League 1

Fleetwood Town were up

against Southern League Premier side

Hereford FC yesterday,

looking to emulate their previous

exploits as Hereford United,

whose famous win over Newcastle

in 1972 is etched into Cup folklore.

Alastair Mann watched this one.

A meeting of two sides who have been

both reinvented and reinvigorated in

recent times, but who are currently

four divisions apart. The hosts are

taking no chances, boasting a string

of players recruited from Premier

League clubs. Naturally, with their

part-time status, most of the

Hereford side of careers outside the

game. Calvin Dinsley just back from

injury, a late inclusion after

midfielder Robert Purdy was injured

in the warm up.

Oh Shea on the overlap, a better

played by Pond. A good turn from

raffle. And the shot is into the

corner of the net! Calvin Dinsley!

And Hereford are in front. Calvin

Dinsley wasn't supposed to be in

this starting XI today. He wasn't

deemed fit enough. But, when Robert

Purdy pulled up in the warm up, he

gets his chance. Taking the lead

against League 1 Fleetwood Town, who

trail at home. Fleetwood haven't

been in great form of late. They

have won just one of their last nine

league games, and they had to

struggle to beat Chorley in the

first round. Now they'll have to do

it the hard way in the second. How

will they respond? Dempsey driving

them forward. Oh, it's a brilliant

run! Great save by Martin Horsell.

Oh, just over the head of Cole, who

stretched out but couldn't quite get

it. A really nice run from Dempsey.

Cole and Bell offered themselves,

but they opened up Hereford and

Dempsey went at them. Martin Horsell

makes his best save of the match.

Away, but only as far as preen, who

hits the deflection onto the top of

the net. He met that beautifully. I

think the initial shot was on

target, the deflection almost looked

it over the top of Chris Neal. And

he was so pleased to see it land on

top and not inside Kismet. Dempsey.

-- not inside his net. Wes Burns in

front of him, and Cole! He scores.

Not sure what part of his body it

came off, it might have been his

bike, but whatever it was Martin

Horsell couldn't get to it. The

celebrations are mooted, because it

is more relief than joy, but Devante

Cole, who scored in the last round

to beat Chorley, as scored again to

put his side back on level terms

once more. And it is Fleetwood Town

1, Hereford 1. The lead lasted less

than five minutes. Couldn't quite

rigid, and off the line. Brilliant

clearance off the line by Ash

Eastham. Goalkeeper was beaten, Ash

Eastham went behind him, and it was

a good call.

Blend in. Hunter, on target, and a

good stop. Cleared by oh Shea.

Excellent save by Martin Horsell to

deny what wasn't harrowing shot from

Hunter. Probably thinking, do I want

to win this or do I want a replay?

Giving better way, and on it goes, a

good ball towards Hunter. Cole is on

the far side, waiting for it, and

it's off the base of the post.

Dempsey can't get to it, and turned

wide by Whitburn 's. Well, Ashley

hunter thought that, with seconds

remaining, he might have finally

silenced the non-league team. --

turned wide by Wes Burns. Cole to

the right-hand side, but he went

alone. It eludes the goalkeeper and

then on the rebound, Wes Burns

guides it a couple of feet beyond

the far post. That whistle says,

Peter Beadle... And he will blow

that whistle. It's a famous, famous

day for Hereford FC. They will go

into the hat for the FA Cup third

round draw.

At the start of play, I guess you

would have settled for a replay, so

how pleasing is it to have one?

Everyone is buzzing. We just wanted

to get through the first 20 minutes,

but everybody was a different class,

and we knew we had to be to get

anything out of it.

Help out are

you? You match them in all areas

today.

We pride ourselves on our

fitness, and we tend to look after

it. Really pleased for them. A

massive thing for us to be in the

third round draw. I'm not sure that

people will look forward to coming

back here. It will probably be a

full house. And there is the carrot

dangling for us to win another

performance.

You were at Fleetwood

in the build-up for that yesterday.

The biggest continent you could give

Hereford is that you couldn't tell

the 89 league places between the

sides. -- the biggest compliment.

Talk about grabbing your chance with

both hands! By the way that Calvin

Dinsley took his chance, when he was

given the nod just 90 minutes before

kick-off.

He has to go in towards

the keeper and a wave from the

keeper to get into that far post.

It

is between his feet as well,

difficult to hit, because he can't

open his body up properly. Lovely

finish.

Really good. Hereford took

1000 fans, and he is one of them,

jumping about, the manager, Peter

Beadle, and his beard! He is keeping

it while is in the FA Cup. His wife

said, shave it off, but he isn't.

He

will be looking like Santa by

Christmas! As far as Fleetwood are

concerned, they equalised through a

name we all know more than well,

Devante Cole, the son of Andy Cole,

and associated with goals. A chip

off the old block. It doesn't matter

what it comes off, they just go in.

It's his position, on the move

constantly, and as soon as they

cross comes in he freed himself up

and allows the ball to hit for what

he diverts it on target. That's a

good finish from him, because it's

an awkward one ticket, you can't

volley it or hate it, and he allows

it to hit him.

He kind of lost sight

of it because it was going in front

of the defender and then it drops

behind.

Second FA Cup goal for him.

And they go to Edgar street for the

replay, and we are always talking

about Hereford United in Newcastle,

Ronnie Radford, but great for this

generation it up.

Definitely.

Unbeaten in over a year away from

home, which is an incredible record

for them for the

they have to play

at home now!

League 2 leaders Luton,

who have scored more goals than any

team in the top five divisions,

travelled to Gateshead

of the National League.

The non-league team had plenty

of Cup experience in the dugout.

Manager Steve Watson played

in the 1998 final for Newcastle.

Vikki Sparks with the commentary.

After entertaining under Kevin

Keegan as a player, Steve Watson is

looking for the biggest scalp of his

fledgling managerial career against

a Luton side who are sweeping all

before them. An emotional day for

Gateshead's J J O'Donnell, facing

his former club for the first time

since they and their fans helped

save his career by denoting towards

surgery for a rare foot problem

after he joined Gateshead. Quite

simply, he says he might not be

playing today if it were not for

them. Luton naming a strong side,

with League 2 top scorer Danny

Hylton leading the line. Luton reach

the FA Cup final back in 1959.

Gateshead's best run was to the

quarterfinals in 1953.

A run in towards Burrow, good

chance. He is the joint top scorer

for Gateshead this season, Jordan

Burrow, but just not far enough from

the keeper. Next on. Away from Lee

Hanford. We lost it. The referee

allows play to continue, and Luton

score. In the end, what proves to be

an easy goal. Oliver Lee converting.

It looks as though this player may

have been knocked unconscious. You

certainly down. The referee allowed

play to continue. -- he is certainly

down. And Scott barrows carried off

on a stretcher. Concerning times for

Gateshead. The thought of everybody

here with Scott Barrow. Gateshead

looking to reach the third round for

only the second time in the last 63

years. They are still in this one.

Luton free kick. Bury brought down.

Challenge was laid on him. -- was

late. Well headed clear. Just keeps

it in. 14, headed back across, and

headed in. -- ball in. And Daniel

Potts doubles Luton's advantage with

his sixth goal of the season. A good

ball across, and the box finds the

gap -- and Daniel Potts finds the

gap in the Gateshead defence to

double Luton's lead. Danny Hylton.

Interception from Gateshead. The

League 2 side still coming forward.

Elliot Lee.

McLauchlin just this possesses him.

Danger still not clear for

Gateshead. Luton's third goal.

Elliot Lee scores. And the League 2

side are heading into the third

round. Gateshead just couldn't clear

their line, and the ball ricocheted

kindly to Elliot Lee, and it is

Gateshead 0, Luton 3. Couldn't quite

find Talent. Conceding a needless

free kick. Gateshead with a good set

piece opportunity. Hannon. Headed

away, McLauchlin will keep it in

life for Gateshead. Back in. Jobson!

Off the bar. Gateshead so close to a

consolation. Still life for the

non-league side. McLauchlin

challenges on the edge of the area.

It might fall to McLauchlin off the

post! How close can he get for

Gateshead? McLauchlin rings it down,

back in, it falls to Johnson off the

bar. And McLauchlin gets the shot

away, hits the post.

Can't stop that, will it be yay for

the Luton? It will. Finished at the

far post by Danny Hylton, their

leading scorer on the scoresheet. It

is Gateshead- 0, Luton 4. Will there

be a final sting in the tail? A

touch from Berry. The finish is

brilliant. Luton have a fit. Luke

Berry on the scoresheet. They are

carving the non-league side apart at

the death. 5-0.

They were ruthless

when they had the chances. They are

very forward-thinking as a team. I

think the biggest difference was the

quality. When they got their

chances, they took them, and we

huffed and puffed. We carved them

open a few times, but ultimately the

team that scores goals will win.

There are positives to take. We have

done well against a team that is

flying at the top of their league.

He's not wrong. It was a tough

afternoon. We scored at -- we saw

that terrible injury to Scott

Barrow. A Twitter message tonight

from their official feed says: We

would like to thank fans of

Gateshead and Luton Town for their

best wishes messages in regard to

Scott Barrow, as well as their

behaviour during the match while he

was down injured. The latest we have

is that he is up and in good spirits

at hospital. Speedy recovery, Scott.

We echo those thoughts. It was a 16-

minute delay to the game while he

was untended to. He was unconscious

for most of that time before the

ambulance arrived. It didn't look

good at the time, did it?

It is how

the team recover. Steve Watson spoke

about it. It is how it will affect

the side. When he went down and he

was motionless for such a long time,

you start to fear the worst. When

your team-mates are seeing that, you

can see the worry and panic on their

faces.

Having been the player on the

floor myself, when I broke my neck,

panic sets in. You half forget about

the game and think, how is my

team-mate? That must've been on some

of the players' minds.

No one will

want to draw them in the next round.

They will be hoping for a home droid

against the Premier League side. The

way they are playing and creating,

they are right good side.

They have

got goals, and I think any of the

big boys won't want to draw them

away.

48 goals in 20 league games

says it all.

Ten non-league teams have

reached the second round.

Let's see how three more fared.

This is uncharted territory for

Guiseley, and they had been carried

there by the goalkeeper. The 40

places between the sides was

becoming more apparent by the

minute. Guiseley couldn't be helped

here. Jamie Spencer's first goal the

Mansfield, and he had his eye in.

They lunched further into trouble.

As soon as this challenge was made,

the consequences were clear for

Darren Holden. Guiseley's numbers

and chances dwindled further. A

second yellow card led to the team's

second red. They were up against the

Mansfield team unbeaten in the last

ten. Spencer got his and the Stags'

second. The referee hardly had a

moment's peace. Another decision to

make here. A penalty. Only one man

to take it - over to Spencer for

number three. And a stress free

passage for Mansfield into brown

four.

After knocking out Cheltenham in the

last round, Maidstone had the scalp

of League 1 MK Dons in their sights.

They must have felt Christmas had

come early. The rebound finding the

net. Encouraged by the half-time

team talk, they equalised through

Aiden Nesbitt. Now ruthless in their

attack, they again came close. The

substitute was in the right place at

the right time. Minutes later, a

guard struck again, leaving the

former Wimbledon keeper Lee Morgan

with no chance. To rub salt in the

wounds, this pass is completed the

counter. -- the count.

There is space for McNulty... It

might drop. Coventry City are in the

lead. Shipley, Nazon, and McNulty

has expertly lobbed the keeper. A

fatal error from Grant Smith, the

Boreham Wood goalkeeper. They left

him in no man's land, and that

leaves Boreham Wood now on the brink

of an FA Cup exit. It flashed across

goal and was finished off at the far

post by Jordan Shipley. Coventry

City are now out of sight.

A tough afternoon, as expected, for

non-league Boreham Wood. It has been

a terrific cup run for them.

Coventry City, we seem to talk about

this all the time, your ex-club, of

course, Dion. Less than 3000 to

watch that. Credit to Mark Robins,

he ploughs on, five home-grown

players in the starting line-up. He

is giving those who attend something

to hang onto.

And trying to drag the

rest back as well. I have played in

front of 25,000 at Highfield Road.

It is sad to see that.

Especially in

the last few years, the demise of

the club is not great.

Guiseley's

run came to an end thanks to

Mansfield. Jamie Spencer, with a

hat-trick.

He is amazing. I would

love to score one FA Cup goal. You

would have to talk to Dion about

scoring a hat-trick! You always talk

about strikers getting between the

width of the goal, and that second

one in particular was a lovely

finish.

He had never scored in the

FA Cup until today and get a

hat-trick, so he is off and running.

Well done to him and to Mansfield.

Steve Evans will be celebrating that

one tonight, I'm sure.

I'm sure! Is

Time to see some of the League 1

clubs in action this afternoon,

starting with an all London affair.

15 miles and 14 runs on -- rungs on

the league ladder between these two.

It is the job of a striker to claim

credit from chaos, and that is what

Cody McDonald did ten minutes in.

Charlton began to rediscover the

Dons' weaknesses. It seemed the

second was inevitable after the

break, but the tide pivoted on this

moment of brilliance from George

Long. The Dons... This time,

McDonald that the running, and Lyle

Taylor eventually did the finishing.

He has played with Frank Lampard and

Ronaldo, as an actor in an advert,

but he's proving more than useful in

real life too. Taylor took his cue

when the penalty was won. 3-1, and

one of the FA Cup's famous names is

in the third round draw.

Doncaster

got as far as the fifth round four

times in the 50s. Recent stats show

just one win in five games. They won

promotion push as Scunthorpe post

quite a test. Just past the quarter

hour, a routine backpass - surely

nothing to see here.

It comes off

Tommy Rowe. He opens the scoring!

Scunthorpe were about to take that

lying down. With half-time looming,

they had players queueing up to try

to square it. First, Paddy Madden,

then Dwayne Holmes couldn't find a

finish, or indeed the net. But

Doncaster were ready to seize the

day, and in Tommy Rowe, they

possessed the man to seize the

moment.

He has pulled back, he

shoots, he scores. Tommy Rowe gets

his second of the afternoon.

Doncaster with at least one foot in

the third round. Before long, they

firmly planted the other. The

Mandeville adding gloss to the

scoreline in added time. Rovers

return to round three.

Doncaster winning their local battle

against Scunthorpe. In the capital,

Wimbledon against Charlton.

That he

was a Premier League fixture back in

our day, a long time ago. Two senior

managers who have been in the game a

while going at it at loggerheads.

It

was a very entertaining match.

Wimbledon's cup run continues. Where

have we heard that before?

After some turbulent

recent times, Oxford City

of the National League South had got

this far for only the second

time in their history.

Their reward, an away

tie to Notts County,

who are riding high in League 2

with Kevin Nolan at the helm.

One of the purest weekends in the

football calendar. A lot of clubs

know they are a game away from

Anfield, Old Trafford, the emirates,

or even Wembley, this season. It is

those possibilities that make this

matter so much. He was waiting for

some movement.

Urge to shoot by the crowd but

decided against it. The ball in... A

brilliant effort and a fine save

from Jack Stephens. Brilliant play

all round.

He just pains him there.

Controlling a shot towards goal.

Brilliant technique. Credit to Jack

Stephens, moved his feet well, a

good save from him.

Now a chance

from the resulting corner. It is a

deep cross to the back post. Notts

County in front. Richard Duffy was

in there. It is from the set piece

that they take the lead.

It is one

of the situations where they switch

up with a short one at the far post,

win the ball. Richard Duffy knew

nothing about that. Yates got that

little overhead kick, just comes off

the centre-half into the goal. We

always knew that the set play for

Notts County would be a big part of

the day.

The captain has been

fantastic this year, Richard Duffy.

Up against Oxlade-Chamberlain,

muscling it. It has hit the post. A

great run.

It was. He got a little

bit of a clip on his foot before the

shot was taken.

At the other end, it

is with Sinclair. Looking to get on

the turn and find a room... Sinclair

for Oxford City! They are back in

the cup tie. -- finding the room.

You just see Sinclair, and you are

willing him to shoot. It takes a

wicked deflection. You need a little

bit of luck. Not town -- Notts

County hit the post. You need your

key men to turn up today, and

Sinclair was that man for them.

23

seconds between Jon Stead hitting

the post and Sinclair getting the

equaliser. That is going to be a

penalty. It is. So soon after the

equaliser. The referee, John Brooks,

points to the spot.

Freddie Grant

there can't have any complaints. A

big moment in the game now, Adam.

A

little over ten minutes into the

second half. Here comes Jon Stead.

Notts County are back in front. It

was never really in doubt from him.

I think Jack Stephens does go with

the right way, he would struggle to

save this. -- I think if Jack

Stephens.

Oxford City are on terms

for a second -- can Oxford City get

on terms a second time? You wouldn't

rule it out. Patterson... What a

good chance! On how well they worked

it as well!

A great opportunity. --

and how well they worked it.

Pulled

back, Paterson! They've done it

again. They just don't know when

they are beaten. And it is the hero

of the previous round at Colchester,

Paterson.

This is what the magic of

the FA Cup is all about. They have

just hung in there, and it is a

quality finish. He has deserved that

because he has worked on his own art

there tirelessly, with one or two

chances. We said before, Notts

County will give you a chance, and

you've got to take them.

Underdogs coming into this,

understandably. Yates, needs to be a

telling cross. Time is up. It goes

in! Brilliant. That could be the

last kick of the game. Jorge Grant

of Notts County, and Mark James and

the Oxford City players, incredible.

Notts County are heading for the

third round of the FA Cup.

A

brilliant ball in. You do feel for

Oxford City, because they have given

absolutely everything.

A fugitives

in the dressing room, because we put

everything into today, but sometimes

football can be cruel. -- a few

tears. That's what makes it

wonderful. I said the lad before, if

we can get a win or a draw, the next

best thing would be to have people

walking away saying, didn't they do

well.

They certainly did, what a cup

run for Oxford City, taking their

first ever league scalp in the first

round against Colchester United, and

it fills that man, Matt Patterson,

who thought he'd got them a draw,

and into the hat again on Monday

against a big boy.

It's a killer,

because it's a good finish from him,

and that's all you want. It's almost

like you've gone away, job done.

That is, I'm sure, what is going

through their heads.

They probably

said, tools down, we are in the hat.

It's not over till it's over.

You

got to keep plugging away. This ball

is just day, let's see what happens

when it goes in the box, they get

the ricochets, the keeper puts it

down. A couple of defenders may have

switched off at the far post.

Yes,

and Jorge Grant finishes it off.

It's almost thinking too far ahead

of yourselves. You are gutted for

them, absolutely.

But the manager,

mark Jones, he hasn't lost his

dignity but he came and spoke and

said, we've done well and they did

well and they went through.

I know

that the Notts County manager was

mightily relieved. He has done well

in his 11 months.

He has done a good

job, and it's nice to see young

coaches given a chance. He had a bit

of experience in there. Jon Stead

has been there and done it but

some

wily faces, and he was part of the

Bradford run not long ago when they

overturned Chelsea.

On and off the

pitch, seniors and a few kids.

If

you were a Premiership side, you

wouldn't want to go to meddling.

Yes. -- to Meadow Lane.

That's all the action from the game

played by non-league clubs so far,

but there were plenty

of goals in the games

involving just league clubs.

If you thought the road to Wembley

was long, try the journey from

Carlisle to Gillingham. But would

the epic 664 mile round trip proved

worthwhile? Just five minutes in,

Luke O'Neill's free kick didn't

augur well. But 80 minutes in, Tom

Parkes went foraging and was

unceremoniously felled. It wasn't a

tough call for the referee. Daniel

Grainger did the rest, so now the

Gillingham fans would be reaching

for the sat nav for the replay.

Hidden in the Cotswolds is a

goal-scoring sensation. His name is

Christian dodged and he has more

club league goals this calendar year

in Neymar or Suarez. Exeter City his

latest victims. Forest Green had

been the better team and largely

remained so until the second half,

when the Exeter Captain Jordan

Moore-Taylor scored an old-fashioned

FA Cup goal. From there, Rovers lost

their grip and Exeter where head six

minutes later. More of him later.

This was building to a final frenzy.

Pay attention. 80 minutes, and

Christian dodged with the shot, and

Scott Laird with the goal. Second

bit of stoppage time, Jordan

Stephens through two, who else,

Doidge, this year's goal, 32, Forest

Green surely three. Fast forward to

the fourth minute, and here it

comes, towards the far post. He has

equalised! Jayden Stockley has

equalised. Forest Green's manager,

mark Cooper, took his frustration

out on a wall after that and was

sent off. Who knows what his mood

would have been had Taylor's shot

gone in. Brace yourself for the

replay.

This lead to affair between Newport

and Cambridge promised a close

contest, with a points separating

them in the table. The exiles quick

to get off the mark, with Matthew

Dolan's free kick converted by Joss

Labadie. It was another 80 minutes

before another goal, a sweeping move

involving Joss Labadie. His volley

taking his tally to five for the

season. County's fans already

dreaming of who they may get in the

third round.

That will be painful for Dion

Dublin, because he is synonymous

with Cambridge United, but Mindy

Finn at Newport County is quite a

revolution after staying up at the

end of last season, winning four of

the last seven.

You think of the

last Marco Brian Bovell, a brilliant

goal, a rarity in itself, but

keeping them up and taken the club

where he has, it's an amazing

turnaround and credit to him.

It was

a team that Cambridge possibly

wanted to avoid, because they are

scoring goals. They looked

comfortable today. Cambridge just

didn't create enough chances. Didn't

get enough ball into the big black

out front. The result was about

right foot -- the big lad out front.

Is for Exeter City, what can we say?

First of all, we loved the local

radio commentary. Exeter were 2-1 up

on the 80th minute and some tell

finished 3-3.

It's great, and that

is, when it comes down to this

second round, it's that big carrot

in front of you, that's where it

becomes a bit kamikaze towards the

end of the game. It goes crazy.

Everybody's all over the place and

all you want to see is that goal,

which doesn't come. It is off the

line. If you are a local, as a

commentator, forget it, I want my

team to win.

Of those teams, it is

Newport who made the third round,

and we have just four games left to

show you from yesterday.

For League 1 rivals Bradford and

Plymouth, time to concentrate on the

cup. The home side led the first

blow, Tony McMahon's first-class

delivery dispatched by skipper

Romain Vincelot. Soon after the

break, Bradford tightened their grip

with a spectacular in off. Romain

Vincelot's strike, and Nathaniel

Knight-Percival with the finish.

Well, that's his story and Plymouth

were winners when the sides

contested league points two weeks

ago and midway through the second

half rim Carey gave them something

to cling onto in the cup tie. --

Graham Carey. Next, a moment that

Plymouth Argyle keeper Luke

McCormick will not want to see it so

here it is. Charlie Wyke adding

insult to injury, Bradford 2015

quarterfinalists are at it again.

In

September, the match between these

two produced five goals and compared

this this was uneventful. Stevenage

got things started to Alex Samuel.

Stevenage haven't won since the last

round of the cup a month ago but

they were full of confidence, Tom

Pett putting in Matthew Godden. 2-0

in ten minutes. Then Swindon's

Matthew Taylor aimed one in. Just

before the break, Amine Linganzi cut

out the middleman, straight in from

the corner. At half-time, eating

dogs were changing tack with every

attack. Another spectacular twist,

this one from Stevenage's Tom Pett.

Stevenage took control from there,

thanks to a striker working in a

factory earlier this year. Danny

Newton. He spent the summer in Jamie

Vardy's academy.

Newton through,

trying to go through Lawrence

Vigouroux. Magnificent goal! Danny

Newton!

League 1 high-flyers

Shrewsbury Town were hoping to carry

their good form into their tie

against League 2 strugglers

Morecambe and a potential pot of

goal in the third round, and it was

Shrewsbury and signalled their

intent from the start. Winger Alex

Rodman going close in the opening

few minutes. The home side were

pressing and they were rewarded just

after half an hour. Alex Rodman

pouncing in the box to convert Shaun

Whalley's pinpoint cross. Morecambe

were on the ropes, and with John

Nolan through on goal, Barry Roche

instinctively did what most keepers

would. That only warranted a yellow

card, but the referee pointed to the

spot, and up stepped Shaun Whalley

to ensure that Shrewsbury eased into

the next round.

There is a first

time for everything, of course,

including a first FA Cup meeting

between these two. They need no

introduction, after sharing a league

to draw in September. This was tough

to call. Only the second half Tom

Pope given room to manoeuvre, a

cardinal sin, you might say.

Advantage Port Vale, but Somerset's

finest were not finished. As the

home defence dithered, Jordan Green

nipped in to level it and line-up

yet another get-together a week on

Tuesday.

So, one of several replays

to take place before the third round

proper gets underway. Thanks to Ivan

Gaskell, Patrick Geary and Danny

Floyd for their voices. We have seen

some great goals, and how about this

as one of the more bizarre ones from

Bradford. I don't think Nathaniel

Knight-Percival knew much about it,

do you?

Smashing it, clearly going

for goal. Look at that, the reaction

is the best thing about it. That is

from Romain Vincelot.

Look at this

one here! He doesn't really care. He

goes in. It goes in.

A goal is a

goal.

Keep your eye on it, I think

he said.

Stevenage, continuing

decent form, but five goals against

Swindon is no mean feat. This has to

be one of the best goals of the

round from Danny Newton, and the

weight is run went almost the length

of the other half.

-- the way that

his run. The Swindon players are

asking for him to pass. He doesn't

shoot, and he just keeps being calm.

Is nice when you come to the end of

the run and you see how he keeps his

composure and is cool. At full

speed, difficult to stop.

It was 2-2

and it was blown away.

I know we

have seen some special goals, but

this has to be one of the best, that

Marc McNulty goal for Coventry. You

loved this, didn't you?

Me at Cefn

looked at this, and he made it more

difficult for himself by making it a

half volley. -- me and Kevin.

That

is the confidence of the player. He

timed his run brilliantly, a great

ball but, when he gets there one on

one, it is his composure to slow

himself down and recognise the

people's position and get it over

him.

Might have avoided that. --

recognised the keeper's position.

Who was your surprise of the day?

You'd have to say Woking. The game

was Blackburn against Crewe, very

entertaining.

And Hereford yesterday

did well, in the hat.

That's what

matters.

Slough against Rochdale is the final

game to be played in this

round tomorrow night,

so both teams in the third-round

draw live on BBC Two from 7pm.

All the goals from this round can be

found on the BBC Sport

website and on our catch-up

service tomorrow morning.

And today's two Premier League games

will feature in Match

of the Day 2 tonight,

with the leaders

Manchester City in action.

So, with Slough still to play,

there will be four non-league teams

in that third round draw tomorrow

evening and, whatever happens

in their replays, Fylde,

Hereford and Woking have already

given themselves

some great memories.

Bye-bye for now.
