Everton vs Boreham Wood: What has been said?

"Can we [win against Everton?] No," Luke Garrard told Sky Sports News.

"I've had a load of league managers text me over the last few days saying 'make sure you get the brick layers out to build you a brick wall in the goal'.

"Listen, it's going to be tough. For me, it's going to be about going there, I've got Z-cars playing in my ear now and the hair on the back of my neck stood up.

"To have that in front of 40,000, going to Everton, it's a massive, massive club. I believe they've won the cup five times.

"I've got young Kane Smith that went in the changing room and put [Tony] Hibbert's shirt on, he's got it on backwards and he's celebrating with our fans.
