I agree Henry could have been 'rotated' from the starting line up in place of Doughty, Ali needs to prove his fitness if not to himself then the rest of us, 45 should have been possible. I'm seriously against saving players for other clubs in a competition we should be trying to win so I won't buy the 'cup tie' argument unless they are sold for the asking price and that's not going to happen. Should have been available, we pay their wages. Poulter, Jet and even Kpekawa could have had 45 mins but we should have taken the game first. I think that fans saying its ok to throw a cup tie risk seeing it year after year after year. And those opportunities for young players to get a run with in the first team are gone as well........ until the 1st round next year. Just treat the completion with some respect is all were asking, changing the first team around so comprehensively was a mistake we've seen over and over. Isn't stupidity defined by repeating the same mistakes over and over and expecting different results? it was a balls up, stop trying to put lipstick on the pig.
At least we don't have to go through this to secure our place? While we battle the Terriers on Saturday, there is an FA Cup qualifying fixture out there for everyone. I see my former hometown team Andover Town are there in the mix. I remember back in the early 1960's when they made it through several rounds to eventually lose 1-0 to Gillingham at the Walled Meadow. The Shoreham v Horley Town fixture will no doubt be an quite emotional occasion.

Massive local derby there between London Colney and Potters Bar. Could get tasty if they meet up halfway at the St Mimms services.
