Speaking to the media following the draw, Shots boss Dean Holdsworth said: "I cannot believe it. It is fantastic news. The best draw we could have hoped for." Only the day before, Holdsworth had expressed his wishes to face the club he supported as a boy and with Hammers boss Sam Allardyce already listed as his "mentor", it was a dream draw for the former Bolton player.
