The cup fun gets underway at 6pm on Wednesday as Albion square up to Harrogate Town for the first time ever. In the havoc of the pandemic and Albion's own promotion campaign I completely missed the fact that the Sulphurites had been elevated to the Football League, so the draw came as a bit of a surprise, and having started their campaign well with a 4-0 victory at Southend to add to beating Tranmere on penalties in the first round, they should be brimming with confidence now they visit the Hawthorns as League Two leaders.
It seems that 31-year-old Jack Muldoon is the one to watch among the visitors; a former plasterer whose career took him from Brigg Town to Glapwell, Stocksbridge Park Steels, North Ferriby United and Worksop Town before joining Harrogate in 2018. With thirty goals in two years including a brace against Southend on Saturday, he's supported by new signing Aaron Martin, and former Huddersfield man Jon Stead who enjoyed some Premier League football in the mid-2000s.
