Planet Swans ArchivesThe Swansea City side saw his team drawn against the Conference side yesterday just minutes after they had despatched with League One side Leeds United.
A solitary goal from a Postman was enough to send them into the 3rd Round of the competition for the first time – a tag that was held last season by Havant and Waterlooville. And we all know what happened next from there.
Speaking to BBC Sport, the Swans boss said “Histon playing at home in their own environments are the favourites in my eyes
“All the credit to Histon for getting through into the third round. I think the story is about them.
“I think from our point of view, it’s extremely difficult to play the hardest role in the FA Cup which is trying to be the league team that is not going to be knocked out by the non-league team.
“That’s the magic of the Cup. We played that role three times last season and it’s not an enjoyable one.
“We need to make sure we take the lessons from the last campaign, be as professional as we can.”
