Pressman aims to deliver one more knockout blow

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Pressman said "Look, I know this has been said before but it's just a one-off game of football and either side can win. That's what the FA Cup is all about, isn't it?" says the former England Under-21 international who doubles up as goalkeeping coach at Field Mill.

"We got off to a bad start this season and we've been playing catch-up ever since.

"But we're gradually turning it round and we're not a million miles away from mid-table now. And the Newcastle game has given the place a real buzz. Of course it's crucial that we stay in the league and that is the main priority. But a game like this gives everyone at the club a lift.

"We have a few young lads in the side and it hasn't been easy to keep their feet on the floor since the draw was made. But the Christmas games are out of the way now and this is going to be a wonderful experience for them."

And for their senior professional, too? "Definitely! I'm 37 and, long-term, I want to move on to the coaching side full-time. So while I intend to keep playing for as long as possible, I realise there might not be too many more days like this."
