The 1-0 first round replay win at League One side Wycombe Wanderers set up a second round tie at another third tier outfit in Lincoln City next month.

Mark Cullen’s fifth goal of the season was enough to separate the sides as Pools can now look forward to visiting the LNER Stadium on Saturday, December 4 (3pm kick-off).

@Dan_Nich27: “What a performance! Lidds was absolutely superb. Nobody played less than a 7 out of 10. Rode our luck at times, but a great away performance. Pools winning away on a Tuesday night, can only be the FA Cup!”

@theellerton: “Get the contract out, put it on the table, let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there – given what he's done since he's come in – and let him sign the contract and go. Sweeney’s at the wheel, man.”
