Team for today Fielding, Little, Bryan, Ayling, Flint, Williams, Kane, K.Smith, Elliott, M.Smith, Emmanuel-Thomas. Subs Richards, Wynter, Cunningham, Osborne, Wagstaff, Pack, Freeman.
Think it will be a tough game going for a draw and replay,which we do not want. Pray for a win,but a draw written all over this.
We are 1-0 down. Personally I'm not at all bothered. Anything from this game but a replay, especially with Swindle losing at Fleetwood currently - The league is all that matters.
Not a draw FFS !!! Another game to get injuries etc. PNE are beating Norwich...hopefully it will affect their league form with the FA Cup and JPT to contend with. Swindle 2-1 down at Fleetwood.
I was spot on regards the draw,if we get a big un in the next round at least we know what we have to do. A big incentive.
Same points,game in hand,two goal difference to them. Well happy they do not have a two point advantage.
Sshhhhh you know he's special and will get upset with you. Back to today's result big bollocks, when we was losing I was thinking at least we can concentrate on the league. Don't mind being on goal difference with Swindle but don't want to be three points behind with two games in hand. We need to stay close with the games, otherwise we will be playing twice a week for a few weeks.
And that's the danger of playing in the 3rd division and trying to make a small squad compete in 3 different competitions. It will end in tears if we're not careful. I'd have been happier losing at Doncaster today, perverse though that sounds.
When you actually assess the players today, there are only a few who have really been used to full capacity lately, The likes of M Smith, Jet and Todd Kane have hardly played any football at all, Elliot, C Smith, Little and William have recently had lay offs for a few weeks. and we have Agard, and Wilbs coming back. However, I do worry for the likes of Ayling and Bryan who's workrate are so high and they haven't really had a rest yet, Flint is a warrior he will just keep going. When things are going well the players will be enjoying the games and will just want them to keep winning, Pack, Cunningham and the rest are chomping at the bit to get established in this successful side. Just enjoy the ride, I'm sure the players will be.. BTW, if we draw Man Utd away in the 4th round you wait and see how many will be hoping for a win then against Donny then.
