Thurrock boss Colin McBride admits his side face a tough task in tonight's FA Cup replay with Luton Town.

The Ryman Premier League side travel to Kenilworth Road having held the Hatters to a 1-1 draw in the original clash at Ship Lane.

"With Luton being at home this time I expect them to be a much better side and it's going to be a difficult game for us," said McBride.

"But we've got two players up front at the moment who are consistently banging in the goals so their confidence is very high. There's a good chance of us scoring and hopefully we'll be able to keep them out at the other end of well."

Thurrock midfielder Terry Bowes, who netted against Luton last time around, is also relishing tonight's Cup replay.

"We would like to think we can go there and win but it is going to be very difficult," said the England beach football international.
