2017/18 FA Trophy

[Joe.]

It's a winnable tie for us too - whether it's Warrington or Ebbsfleet. We've played Fleet enough times these past few years. You can crack on with moving up the league, we can have Warrington in the Trophy.

Looking that way at the moment!

You got your wish!

As for moving up the league, I highly doubt that! Boreham Wood at home sandwiched in between Aldershot and Tranmere away. Can only see three losses there.

 

[Aberstone]

It's the begins with W 10 letter derby, I know we're all excited by the prospect!

 

[Raymondo316]

YESSSS we avoid Boreham Wood.

Workington vs. Whitstable?

 

[Harrier94]

Deserved win for Stockport, 3-0 flatters them but we weren't good enough in the final third and they took their chances. Back to focusing on the league now.

Thought you guys played some really good stuff last night. I've said this before what a difference full time vs part time makes. Your players were much sharper, quicker to the ball, better first touches etc.

It was an odd game thought as you guys had the lion share of possession but had no real cut or drive to get through us so resorted to pot shots which often sailed high and wide.

Thought we were poor but resolute and 2 well taken goals and a penalty certainly flattered us. Off we go to Maidenhead now.....oh goody!

 

[Mark kavanagh]

We may get a north ot south club in the final this year. Would quite like warrington to win it to make up for the abuse ive given their rl team over the years

I'm actually heading to Dover with a bit of confidence.

Great signing by us to bring Brophy back to the club, gives us some much needed pace and versatility on the left, not to mentioned our new striker, Holman, is linking up nicely with '17-goals-in-all-competitions-Bonne'.

I still expect Dover to win, but I imagine both sides will put a full-strength 11 out, and I think it will be a close affair, would happily take a draw and bring them up to Leyton.

Not sure why, but I really want to win the trophy.

We'll definitely put our first team out, we don't have enough players to do anything different.

I would love for Dover to get to Wembley for the first time, but I think it is at the expense of the play offs. That's fine by me and probably all Dover supporters, but to get to the semi finals and lose would be a disaster.

Do you know if we've agreed to finish it with ET & pens? Can't imagine Kinnear fancying a replay.

Edinburgh and our twitter feed have said we’ve chosen for the game to go to a replay, I believe the away team gets to decide.

Last round we chose ET and pens against Bogner.

For this very reason I reckon this will be a draw.

I don’t care if we win or lose, but I’d prefer to get the tie done Saturday.

By all means It's not a great trophy to get excited about, but has a good feel factor knowing the fans can have a good day out in the final come this May at wembley. Plus every footballer has a dream of lifting the silverware aloft, even though this competition does get a lot of grief at times.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Interesting tie for Sutton at Brackley. Brackley are a very good side, especially at home. Will be a real test especially as Sutton say they are in it to win this year.

 

[Bendubz]

Feels strange actually being able to go to a match for once, last time I made it to one was way back before this losing streak in the league started, when we beat Torquay. For last home game I think it's as far back as when we were in the playoff places. I really want a win today, even if we go down then winning the FA Trophy would make it a successful season in my eyes.

 

[Bendubz]

As it stands both Dover and Sutton are on their way out, golden opportunity for whoever wins this one to go the whole way

 

[DarkSithLord]

Leyton Orient 3-0 up at Dover. Fancy them to win the whole thing.

Not that surprised Brackley are beating Sutton.

Dover have pulled a couple of back. Nervy few minutes for Orient.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Dover have equalized now! 3-3!

It wasn't pretty, and we have a replay, but despite our best efforts to throw it away we're still in

A lot of replays needed with more long journeys.

 

[Silver Stone]

A midweek replay at Gateshead I wonder if anyone at all will go.

 

[NolansOrient]

One of the most enjoyable games for a long time. Gutting to be 3 3 after dominating Dover and carving out chance after chance, but a 94th minute lobbed winner is always one to savour. Think we've got this trophy in.the bag now.

The winners usually get relegated.

 

[The Terminator]

That game summed up our season, create loads of chances, we're quite capable of being a huge threat at scoring goals - but complacent at the back.

We thoroughly deserved the win, from 46-80mins I thought we was in complete control of the game and should've had more goals, but we get punished for being too complacent at the back and before you know it a three goal lead was gone, which is why we're in a relegation battle, Edinburgh it looked had initially sorted this problem out but it has crept back in again.

A special word to David Mooney for his winner, a sublime chip.

I actually thought Dover were poor in the second half, they very rarely threatened until the 80th minute. First half had chances for both sides, but we had more I thought.

Three games all away from home and we've scrapped through them all.

Please can we have a home tie in the next round for fuck sake, I don't care if we lose as safety has to come first.

That’s exactly what a woz saying to Steve Davis at a management mastaclass seminar we were giving to Premier League gaffaz the day afta we beat yous 2-1. A woz tellin him afta we oot footballed yas that yous were me tip for the Trophy and the opta stats back me up on that. When West Brom’s cross completion ratio dips to unda 8% in any given season, a London side aalways wins at Wembley. This year it’s yous. Well done lads.
