“Coming to this stage in the FA Cup, you know no one is a pushover. So, we believe we are going to play a very difficult game.

“However, we have it in mind to work harder, believing that the side that takes its chances carries the day.

“We can’t afford to make mistakes. We will minimize costly errors.

“As for us, we have been intact, with less injury concerns, unless for Jofrank Istifanus who has been nursing a groin injury. But we have those who can make up for his absence, and I can assure you, we will come out with full determination to make our supporters and fans, both in Nasarawa State, and beyond, proud.”
