We said: Crewe Alexandra 1-1 Bristol Rovers

 Crewe are in excellent form and have proven difficult to beat over the past two months, even against sides in the division above. With Mangan potentially coming to the end of his spell in caretaker charge of Bristol Rovers, seeing them into the third round would be a huge achievement after a more-than-respectable set of results in charge, but this looks like it could go to a replay.
