| U's to prevail in the basement dwellers F A Cup 1st Round at the County Ground 22:46 - Nov 1 with 2654 views | durham_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
Up the U’s

Oh well. It could be worse. At least we're not supporters of Crewe or Grimsby! |  | | |

Just watched the brief highlights on BBC website. Diabolically bad defending for both goals - Read failing to clear the ball for the first, and Iandolo just watching their forward turn and smash it in on the turn. Absolutely pathetic. | | | |

....or Northampton. I see Kettering brought on Marvin Sordell in extra time to replace Nile Ranger!
Both of them are 33 and are out to pasture at a Southern League Premier Division club.
Give them another birthday and they'll be on the Cowleys radar.  |  | | |

Can’t really add much to what has already been said. A poor game between two poor sides brought to life by an excellent finish from Anderson. I honestly thought we’d hold on and nick it, but calamitous defending put paid to that. On balance though, the right result. So Holloway gets his new manager bounce, but I doubt he liked what he saw. Special mention for our 332 supporters, great turn out in an otherwise poor crowd, and we definitely didn’t like what we saw. |  |

Or Huddersfield... the cowleys have had chance to sort the defence out and they just haven't done so. We can't keep relying on others this needs sorting quickly. |  |

Swindon draw Accrington Stanley in Round Two.
Eminently winnable game.
Oh well what's another year! | |

Looking for a positive from the day, Fleetwood lost as well, so I assume our game with them will be rearranged for Saturday 30th? [Post edited 2 Nov 20:33]

Because of the metric system? Check out the big brain on TOOT, you're one smart m@ther####er.
Confirmed: The Fleetwood game will indeed be on 30th November at 3pm. [Post edited 4 Nov 18:38]

Pre match focused on the duel role of Chesham management team.
When asked on U’s role, DC focuses on opposition and NC on the U’s. Also showed highlights of the U’s exit out the competition, soft goals being the key words.
Nice little earner for a Monday night, better be back for training Tuesday morning on time or take a fine .
Oh, the game, easy romp for DC’s formers. | |

In any other business, can you imagine paying good money for a manager who’s doing a shit job, then you find out he’s moonlighting on his days off. How would you feel?
Fair enough if we were top seven, but the piss poor job he is doing at the U’s, and he’s got a nice little earner on the side, instead of concentrating on sorting out his mess. It would take a lot of time and effort to arrange, prepare for, travel to and commentate on the match.
Not exactly leading by example is it? Pride my arse, it smacks of a journeyman that doesn’t really give a shit and is just after one last pay packet.
The fans are the only thing left at Col U, the rest is f-ked.
If he and the rest of the payroll had half the devotion of Noah and the rest of the faithful, we wouldn't be in this mess.

In "Fever Pitch", Nick Hornby said that the fans *are* the club. Without them clubs don't really exist. The fans will be there long after players, owners and coaches have gone. | | | |

Honestly I think weve got a solid chance for a 1-0 win especially considering the Robins current form and their struggles with the new manager. If DC plays this right tactically and our loanees like Donnelly and McDonnell give it their all we can secure the win. Hakeem Sandah is a good pick and with Thorn out its smart we brought him back. We will really have to count on Taylor to net that one goal.
Fingers crossed for the away trip!

I'm pretty confident we'll lose 2-1 in extra time after going 1-0 up... |  |
