Norwich City’s FA Cup heroine Megan Todd is eyeing a big scalp in Monday night’s third round draw. 

Todd struck two penalties in the closing stages of Sunday’s 3-2 comeback win over Sutton Coldfield at The Nest to ensure the Canaries are in the hat as they bid to extend a historic run in the competition. 

City will be ball number 17 in the northern section of the draw and could land a tie against the likes of Newcastle, Leeds or Wolves. 

Todd admits Shaun Howes’ squad is loving trying to raise the bar this season, as they push for promotion in the league alongside cup success. 

“Who do we want? A big team at home for me. We really wanted to do well in the cup and we are enjoying the experience,” said the attacker. “We’ll probably be following on the whatsapp group and fingers crossed we get a good tie.

"This is the first proper FA Cup run we’ve had in my time at the club and everything around it feels bigger – the teams, the atmosphere.

"It shows how much the game is growing and the chance to draw potentially a full-time team is exciting. That is why we play the FA Cup. 

“The fans have been the biggest difference this season. We lost at Chesham in an away game and it felt so quiet, and that brings home to you how important they are. You can hear the younger ones screaming and they push you through.

"I oversee the girls' programme at the foundation, so I know if I don’t perform on the pitch they’ll be telling me off at the coaching sessions. It so nice to see young girls, and the lads, getting behind these players. You get confidence from that, and that is how you can play your best.” 

City’s Women had to avoid a giant-killing themselves after the West Midlands’ outfit took a first half lead, but Todd played down her own starring role with a nerveless late spot kick brace. 

“It was a proper FA Cup tie. Fair play to the other team. They really gave us a hard game and it was probably a harsh way for them to lose,” she said. “But we stick with each other. They are the sort of games you love to play in if you come out the right side. 

"First half, we knew they would try to make it a battle and we were off the pace. At half-time we got behind each other and knew we could be better than that. We came out more aggressive and knew if we put our bodies on the line that competitive element would be there.

"If we stay calm we know we can produce results and play football so at 1-0 behind we just had to stay calm. 

“It was a nervy end but the girls dug deep. I went the same way I always go. I know what I am doing so I stuck with that. The first one was my standard penalty.

"For the second I changed my mind a lot of times but I just thought, ‘No, back yourself and hit the target,’ and luckily it hit the back of the net. But it was a tense end.”
