CARLTON Town manager Les McJannet will tell his players to give it their best shot when they take on Bradford Park Avenue in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup tomorrow.

It is the furthest the 'Millers' have ever progressed in the competition and McJannet knows his team will be underdogs against opposition from the Blue Square North.

McJannet said: "The FA Cup is a brilliant competition with so much history and it would be nice if we could make a bit more history by taking the club even further.

"But we are aware of Bradford's history and pedigree and the fact they are a Blue Square Conference club so it will be difficult.

"But we will give it our best shot and although we are underdogs, it is one game and anything can happen. We will enjoy the occasion, work hard and try and get a good result.

"It would be nice if the Nottingham public came out and gave us their support and would be much appreciated given I understand it's the furthest the club has ever got in the competition."

Carlton have already seen off Oadby Town, Rainworth MW via a replay and New Mills to reach this stage of the world's most famous football competition.

And McJannet remembers his own experience playing for Burton Albion in 1985 when they were non-league and reached the third round before losing 6-1 to Leicester City.

The match was subsequently replayed after the Leicester fans were found guilty by the FA of throwing missiles at the Burton keeper.

They lost the replay ordered by the FA 1-0 behind closed doors at Coventry City.

McJannet will be hoping for better luck today.
