“I can’t wait for the FA Cup to start and for the first round draw, I can’t wait to watch it,” Critchley told The Gazette.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t care who we get or whether it’s home or away. We’ll take whatever game comes our way.

“I’m really looking forward to the competition. Every game we want to win and progress. It would be nice to get to the third round at least to give yourself a chance of playing one of the bigger teams, the bigger boys.

“But that’s a long way away yet and we’ve got an EFL Trophy game after it as well, so these are competitions we want to do well in. We take every game seriously because we want to win.”
