Mansfield Town have been warned that all of the pressure is on them as Chasetown FC bid to cause another FA Trophy shock in their quarter-final replay.

Charlie Blakemore’s men twice came from behind to force the replay at Field Mill tonight (March 8).

Although Mansfield will be even firmer favourites on home soil, Scholars goalkeeper Ryan Price believes Chasetown are more than capable of progressing through to a semi-final clash against Luton Town.

He told The Lichfield Blog:

“It’s going to be hard for us in the replay and we’ll be even bigger underdogs, but again, there’s no pressure on us at all. It’s a game of football and you can never say never with the spirit we have.

“Maybe we deserve more credit now than we are getting as it’s been one hell of a fairytale ride for us.”

Tonight’s game kicks-off at 7.45pm with extra-time and penalties possible if Chasetown and Mansfield can’t be separated after 90 minutes.
