U's to prevail in the basement dwellers F A Cup 1st Round at the County Ground 22:46 - Nov 1 with 3069 viewsdurham_exile

The magic of the F A Cup has come around for another season and DC takes his charges to the Nigel Eady County Ground to do battle with Swindon Town. The Robins now managed by Ian Holloway are hoping for the new manager bounce.

However, even Holloway will struggle to get much out of the Robins this weekend and I reckon we can secure that elusive first away win of the season with a 1-0 victory.

Now the incentive is boosted by prize money of £41,000 to the First-Round Proper winners.

Our loanees Donnelly, McDonnell and Scully can all play, but Oscar Thorn is cup tied but we have recalled young striker Hakeem Sandah from M&T.

DC can also name up to 9 substitutes for the Cup so Matt Jay, still only 28 (he of the Advertisement – Carlsberg Customer Complaints Department – wrong number - clearly he has been languishing in that office for years).

Sadly Tovide, Bishop, Oni and Edwards are all injured.

I would like to see the following line up:

Macey

Egbo Goodliffe Donnelly Iandolo

Woodyard McDonnell Payne Read

Sandah Taylor

Subs:
Smith Anderson Flanagan Kells Gordon Hunt Hopper Scully JAY

After all we do want to win the game, don’t we?

Weather will be 13 degrees Celsius, cloudy with a 27% chance of precipitation.

Safe journey to the travelling faithful.

Enjoy the game everyone and safe travels Wessex.

Goal scorer, who else but Lyle Taylor

Todays Quiz Question:-

2020-2021 Season
Matt Jay 48 games, 20 goals
Jack Payne 47 games, 4 goals
Lyle Taylor 42 games, 5 goals

2021-2022 Season
Matt Jay 51 games, 16 goals
Jack Payne 41 games, 13 goals
Lyle Taylor 33 games, 8 goals

From the above, can you guess which player isn’t a Cowley ‘old boy’?

I'm not sure everyone appreciates what we have in our ranks:

Matt Jay age 28, 281 games, 64 goals. A goal every 4.3 games

Jack Payne age 30, 448 games, 73 goals. A goal every 6.1 games

Matt not getting a look in would be fine if we were winning games, but how can we justify not finding a space for him in the side?

Surely he deserved a start today?

Sadly TOOT he was never going to start today.

The key words he was in the match day squad said it all.

I hope the squad haven't been listening to DC's negative comments about the amount of "athleticism" we are missing due to injuries. What kind of message does that give to the rest of the squad? It's inept management in my opinion.

Flanagan starts with an early booking.

I'm sorry but Goodliffe should have started in his place

Looking for a positive from the day, Fleetwood lost as well, so I assume our game with them will be rearranged for Saturday 30th?

Sadly exemplified what a poor, poor side we are.
Feel for Matt Jay.
Long season already with precious little progress or joy. And, I suppose, no more than I anticipated but it's still so disappointing to see us so short of quality and determination.
Why it is I guess we'll never know.

Ah well....next week.

On my way home and seething….

1. Why take Taylor and Anderson off given nobody else will score.
2. Why Hunt & Flanagan when Egbo, Kellerher and Goodrich are fit?
3. Read simply looks bewildered.
4. Matt Jay must have done something very wrong.

Cowleys out!

Why are we all so down… if this was a league game 1-1 would be a good bet. Everyone wants the chuckle brothers sacked…. But they’re doing nothing diff to when they started… they haven’t got any better or worse… we have just been putting up with it for longer.

They was useless last season and useless this season. They will be useless for their remaining time… hopefully not to long…

Empty vessels make the most noise… DC is a talker…. But doesn’t back it up…

Sorry you witnessed another capitulation Noah.

I thought when we took the lead against a poor Swindon team that would do it.

However once they equalised the danger was there.

Whether DC likes it or not Hunt and Flanagan must be dropped.
Gordon is wasteful when well placed.

DC needed to play Hakeem Sandah alongside Lyle Taylor today.

Arthur Read and Jack Payne unlucky to be on the losing side.

I wasn't there but listened on the radio and we had our chances to win the game.

Yes we are missing key players but so are other teams.

Safe journey home.

Very frustrating once again.

Oh well bring on Barrow!
