United's \"Road to Wembley\" via the FA Cup has ended for yet another season, as they were beaten 4-1 at Blackpool at the weekend - despite the scoreline, the Blues gave a decent account of themselves against a League One side once again this season.
While the route to the national stadium via the FA Cup has closed, the FA Trophy journey begins this weekend - with a first ever visit to Harborough Town and a role reversal of United's cup ties across the rest of the season. Can we avoid a potential banana skin against the promotion-chasing Southern League Premier Division Central side.
Before that though, in-form Woking are the opponents at Brunton Park in the National League - both sides are unbeaten in nine league games, will something give or should we expect a stalemate?

🗼 Blackpool (A) FA Cup Review
