HullShaker’s Tips: Cup carrot should lead to goals

TWO teams at the top of their respective divisions come head to head here and I suspect goals may be on the menu.

It may not be a repeat of Billericay's 9-1 cup demolition of Whitehawk two weeks ago but I think both sides will contribute to the tally.

Taunton may play in the third tier of non-league football but this will be a tough test for Billericay after destroying St Albans 5-2 in the previous round – this is a big game for both sides with the victors sealing a place in the FA Cup first-round proper so passions will be high and Taunton will be looking for a repeat of their 2017 run which saw them reach that magical first round!

Twenty-three goals in 11 league matches show Taunton’s attacking threat and the fitness levels of the squad were described as “phenomenal” by outgoing manager Leigh Robinson. With a strong midfield unit, the travelling side should provide plenty of challenge to a tired-looking Billericay who may still be without star striker Ricky Modeste.

One selection I like the look of and it’s a calculated gamble so stakes need to reflect that.
