King’s Lynn Town resume FA Cup duties on a level playing field on Tuesday night when Worksop head to The Walks - with a spicy reward for victory.

Manager Adam Lakeland has the carrot of a trip to his old club Curzon Ashton in the next round should Lynn win - a fixture that, since his departure almost exactly a year ago, has seen Lynn lose on both occasions.

Lynn came within seconds of victory at Worksop on Saturday only to be denied at the death, and while the visitors ply their trade at a lower level in the football pyramid, they are clearly still a major threat.

Lakeland freely admits that – but knows a wet Tuesday night at The Walks is a very different prospect to Worksop’s artificial surface.

“I think anybody who's been at the game today can see that they'll cause a real threat, so it'll be no different on Tuesday night in that regard,” he said after Saturday’s drama.

“But we are at home and it's a big pitch at The Walks. It's grass and it will be slick and we'll be able to probably move the ball a bit more fluently than we were able to on a sticky pitch.

“As soon as the draw was made, and we've spoken to the players at length the last few days just to rubber stamp exactly how hard this game was going to be.

“If we'd have come here and we didn't fancy it or we didn't apply ourselves properly then we'd have got knocked out, but the lads have put in a big performance there today and we came within a whisker of going through and it would have been deservedly so in my opinion. But sometimes that's the way football goes and we're still in the draw and it’s up to us now to put in a big performance and try and get through on Tuesday.”

Lynn struggled at times to come to terms with the plastic pitch at Worksop.

“We can probably have it thrown at us that we train on for 3G more often than, but I think it does make a difference,” said Lakeland.

“People who are much more knowledgeable and technical than I am will probably disagree, but I just never find that two of these pitches are the same.

“You look at the way the ball bounces today - there was one that bounced in front of Cody Johnson, he's gone to land on a second ball and it's probably bounced about seven feet.

“It's not an easy surface to play on, it's obviously very dry and very sticky and that's difficult when you want to try and get the ball moving a little bit quicker and then you add in to that we have to play with a completely different ball today. The balls you play with at step 3, they’re not the best. They’re a lot different to the ones that we play with and that we've warmed up with and I think that probably affected us in that first 12, 15 minutes because, lads are trying to get it out of their feet and it's getting stuck under their studs. We were very sloppy in that first 12, 15 minutes, probably until Macca (Kyle McFadden) went down and then we were able to settle ourselves, stem that momentum and flow that they started the game with and then I think from there we managed the majority of what they wanted to do pretty well.

“But of course, getting them back to The Walks on Tuesday and playing on grass, the game will be different from our perspective because I hope we'll be able to do and be more of what we want to do and be.”

McFadden went off with a knee injury and will be assessed before the game, but it is likely his replacement, Tom Wilson, will start.
