This is not about us, our name will hardly be mentioned unless they come up with Shrimpers, the whole programme will be spent talking about the lowest ranked team in the competition who play at the highest, snowiest ground (bar Oldham) and they will sense a GIANT killing
Charlton and Plymouth/Sheff Wed will be the same.

I agree. Derek trained on the plastic pitches at the Uni. Robbo needs to think about who can/can't play on plastic and do a few training sessions on the plastic with the players who can play on it to work out his best squad to take. Hopefully, there'll be only a few players unable to play on plastic so it should be just a matter of them practising to get used to it.

There are about 10 autographs on the back of the programme, but difficult to decipher !
A pleasant summer Tuesday night trip to Colwyn Bay for the last match to celebrate.
Happy days !

When their very successful previous manager decided on taking his much delayed family holiday rather than leading them in the FA Cup round 1 at York he was dispensed with immediately. Their directors have put money into the club and they mean business. They ain't messing around and they are very decent for the level!
Add to that the 3G pitch which must give them an advantage, a raucous home following of 3,000 plus, a nation willing them on to victory and we really have our work cut out to get something out of the game.
Make no mistake there is no room for warm little mittens and skulking about on the wing out of the way against this lot. Whatever team takes the field need to man up and meet thunder with thunder.
I've always felt the FA cup means a lot to us as fans and recent insipid displays at Dover and Halifax still leave a sour taste in the mouth. I hope the players get this and bust a gut to get a result. Right now I'd snap your hand off for a draw and take our chances at the Mazuma.
We'll see!
UTFS.

They apparently don't have many if any fit options to replace him and he would have been the obvious one to try and contain Cole.
Slight problem for them to say the least.

Still the potential of an almighty banana skin for me...
