Stringer Happy To Be Still In The Hat

Stringer was also confident that a large midweek following would be at the Melbourne Community Stadium as the Clarets battle for a second time for an First Round Proper tie.

I am sure today there will be a good gate, more than what there was here on Saturday (878). It is not about how many people turn up it is about how well we play on the night.

The Clarets had numerous chances to score as Lee Barnard and Chris Dickson both came close to netting, however a lack of a clinical edge left the deadlock unbroken.

Sam Beasant saved a second half penalty from the hosts but Stringer was left pleased that his side remained in the competition following a tough game against fellow National League South opposition.

"It is a replay. From my point of view, I would rather take a replay than not be in the hat at all. When you look at chances, Barnard has a one-on-one when he missed a one-on-one after beating the offside trap, if that goes in it makes it a tougher game, it puts us one-nil up and maybe we can see it through.
