I’m co-commentating on this sport for five Reside with Ali Bruce-Ball and I can’t wait.
Macclesfield boss John Rooney did an unbelievable job along with his aspect’s historic win over Crystal Palace in spherical three.
I watched the sport again as a part of my prep and, whereas the Silkmen had lower than 29% possession, they restricted Palace to only a few probabilities they usually have been deserved winners.
Knocking the holders out was rightly hailed as the most important shock within the FA Cup’s illustrious historical past, and it could be one other implausible feat in the event that they toppled Brentford too.
Just one non-league aspect has ever overwhelmed two top-flight groups in the identical FA Cup marketing campaign – Millwall in 1913-14, who overcame Chelsea and Bradford Metropolis.
I would like to assume Macclesfield might do it too, and in the event that they play like they did towards Palace then they’ve an excellent likelihood, particularly on their plastic pitch.
I believe Brentford might be prepared for them, although, and Keith Andrews’ aspect are having an amazing season too.
Andrews will know he cannot make too many modifications right here, and perhaps Brentford will go on an FA Cup run themselves – they haven’t reached the quarter-finals since 1989, so it it’s lengthy overdue.
That is going to be a good sport however I simply have a sense the Bees will edge it.
Sutton’s prediction: 1-2
Daffy: I do not underthtand thith sport in any respect – what’s a Maccle? Why are there fields of them? And why do you altho name them the Thilkmen? Jutht for that, I am going with Brentford!
