Stockport currently sit 112 league positions above Cray, yet Yusuff remains hopeful that he can maintain his scoring streak in the competition. "I don't see why not," he stated. "The team are in really good form and when the boys are creating chances the way they are, I always back myself - no matter who it's against - to score."
The forward expressed confidence that the team can produce an upset, noting their previous victories over National League South side Maidstone United and National League North team Bedford. "I think it's all about momentum," Yusuff said. "We've beaten higher teams in different positions in the earlier rounds. I think it's about believing in ourselves."
Reflecting on the squad's potential, he added: "A lot of the boys here have really good careers ahead of them. They have to have these occasions and these moments so they can say: 'I can do it and I can achieve something myself'." Regarding the student reaction, he remarked: "They're really looking forward to it, they're really proud."
