Interesting lower league weekend; With Gills at home to Bristol City and PT under pressure, can our club pull off a surprise win. Then ex Gills manager, Martin Allen's Barnet are at home to League Two high flyers Wycombe, but MadDog will be sure to know how to deal with the L2 big boys. While the big one on Sunday has to be Maidstone away at Stevenage, good luck the Stones. Finally the derby game has to be Bromley v Dartford.... Oh I nearly forgot Dover, now how could i forget them, at home against Morecambe. If I have missed anyone apologies but going to be an exciting FA Cup weekend. Although I am forecasting a melt down if PT loses again and especially if MA's lot wins...alert...all mods at the pumps lol....could be a spiky few days.
Maidstone have pretty much sold out their 1,400 ticket allocation at Stevenage too. Great effort from them.
Looking forward to seeing us get tonked today in person for the first time in a while, good luck to all other Kent sides especially Maistone been down to watch them a few times when bored in the week and I have a lot of time for that club.
Well I went with very low expectations, but what was served up didn't even reach those! To go out of the cup without making their keeper make a save from open play is a terrible state of affairs. Cody and Keds were truly atrocious, Cody barely touched the ball or made any runs into space and Kedwells 1st touch was so bad that his 2nd touch was a tackle every time.
Great result for Maidstone yesterday and they will now bring Stevenage to their 3G turf and home advantage for the non league club. Interesting that many ppl are in support of 3G that i am totally against, yet listening to the pundits they reckon 3G is a clear advantage over turf as it does not play the same, so it could work in the Stones favour! Also elsewhere, shame to see Barnet lose 1-3 after being 1-0 up, with Curtis Weston missing a great chance to put the Bee's 2-0 up early on. Two red cards were Barnet's undoing, so do i assume slight lack of discipline, I'm sure MA will think of suitable punishment. Dartford won the tie against Bromley and Dover I have already mentioned. Ok the Gills are about but for those that still like to follow lower league fortunes, this is the ball numbers for the next round; 1 – Mansfield Town or Concord Rangers 2 – Colchester United 3 – Yeovil Town 4 – York or AFC Wimbledon 5 – Walsall or Shrewsbury Town 6 – Notts County or Accrington Stanley 7 – Bradford City 8 – Warrington Town 9 – Eastleigh 10 – Basingstoke or AFC Telford 11 – Dagenham & Redbridge or Southport 12 – Weston-super-Mare or Doncaster Rovers 13 – Peterborough United 14 – Cheltenham Town 15 – Dartford 16 – Chesterfield 17 – Wycombe Wanderers 18 – Bristol City 19 – Portsmouth or Aldershot Town 20 – Gateshead 21 – Crewe Alexandra or Sheffield United 22 – Oxford United 23 – Tranmere Rovers 24 – Chester 25 – Luton Town 26 – Stevenage or Maidstone United 27 – Bury 28 – Cambridge United 29 – Northampton Town or Rochdale 30 – Dover Athletic 31 – MK Dons 32 – Wrexham 33 – Plymouth Argyle 34 – Barnsley 35 – Hartlepool United 36 – Worcester City 37 – Oldham Athletic 38 – Havant & Waterlooville or Preston North End 39 – Blyth Spartans 40 – Sc**thorpe United Ties to be played on December 5th, 6th and 7th 2014.
