Goal-happy Kidlington will take some stopping in The FA Vase - but Knaphill manager Keith Hills has been shrewd in picking up some tips ahead of their fourth round clash on Saturday.
Kidlington are in fearsome form of late, losing just one of their last 13 games in all competitions and scoring 15 times in their last two.
Knaphill, on the other hand, have suffered at the hands of the weather in recent weeks, seeing four of their last six games postponed and losing the other two.

Most recently they were beaten 6-4 at Ashford Town (Middlesex) but Hills ensured it would not be a wasted journey.
Ashford faced Kidlington twice earlier in the competition, drawing 2-2 in the first round and losing the replay 3-1, and proved to be a useful source of information.
“Ashford played against them in the Vase and they told us one or two things,” said Hills, whose side lie 14th in the Combined Counties Premier League.
“I get on with their manager and he said they have got 11 very good, determined players.
“It has been very difficult recently because of the weather and games getting called off. It has been making us a little inconsistent but we have had some hard games.
“But The FA Vase is a different kettle of fish. It is very important to the club. It is progression for the club and the players are taking notice. For us to get that sort of publicity is great.
“We have been in the Combined Counties a very short while and we are a new club to these sorts of cups. We are learning every year and I have only been manager for two years now.
The FA Vase Final will take place at Wembley on Sunday 22 May
“We have progressed further this season than we have ever been before, so we have already made history but to carry on a bit further would be great.”
They may be well scouted, but Kidlington are undeniably tough to beat. In fact they have suffered defeat just four times in 34 games.
They sit three points off the summit of the Hellenic League, with a game in hand, but manager Martin Wilkinson is happy to put the promotion tilt on hold, with the idea of a Wembley Final in the back of his mind.
“Sometimes you think Wembley is just a distant opportunity but the Vase genuinely offers these players that opportunity,” he said.
“This year we have got a dressing room of players who, on their day, are capable of getting to Wembley.
“We did a lot of work in the summer to identify the players who could strengthen our side and they have come in and found their feet so early. We are difficult to beat and we can be exciting going forward at times.
“The aspirations of the club are to get to step four and we need to win the Hellenic to get to that level. For the club it is uncharted territory but we are certainly geared for that level now.
“Every game in The FA Vase last 32 is going to be tough. But I think at home, on the current form we are on, we have got a good chance.”
