**Cup chaos on the cards at Gorleston** — the East Anglian minnows are riding high off a demolition job against Leighton Town, but Bury Town's steadier form (three games unbeaten before that Cambridge City slip) makes this properly competitive. 🏴
Gorleston's attack fired on all cylinders recently, yet they got caught cold at home by Leiston. Bury, meanwhile, know how to grind results even when they're not firing — that draw with AFC Sudbury screams cup experience.
Key storylines:
- **Gorleston's form pendulum** — they either dismantle or get dismantled; consistency is the real opponent here
- **Bury's steadiness under pressure** — three straight games without defeat heading in; the draw merchants might just edge a tight one
- **Midfield battle** — **C. Beazer** and **H. Black** for Gorleston vs **E. Mayhew** and **M. Maughn** could decide tempo
Expected lineups:
- **Gorleston FC**: A. Bort, A. Bullent, A. Tann, D. Frary, J. Jefford, C. Beazer, H. Black, L. McIntosh, A. Matthews, C. Ingram, J. Marsden
- **Bury Town FC**: C. Beckwith, B. Clements, L. O'Malley, T. Smith, E. Mayhew, M. Maughn, M. Davis, J. McGrath, O. Canfer, S. Ford
Prediction:
**2-2** — Gorleston's firepower gets them a goal, but Bury's composure forces a replay. Coin flip for progression. 🎲
