FA CUP - 1st Round

Job done there, might have been a bit hairy if they’d have held onto the lead for a bit longer, but to be honest their goal was an obvious foul and our equaliser should’ve been disallowed for being complete shit. Second half was just a case of how many we were going to be score, job done.

Well county to win and county -1 flew in, though wondered when alfreton went 1 up.

that pitch at tamswoth was something else

The pitch at Tamworth is shit as well.

Artell made a good point yesterday in that if Grimsby were drawn away to say, Stevenage or Northampton ( he didn’t specifically name these clubs) from the league above we wouldn’t be particularly worried. Same surely applies to Wealdstone. We should win, but by no means guaranteed. Not much in football is to be honest

Yep I’ve seen us lose at home to Bath City and Salisbury City in this round so I’m taking nothing for granted.
In fact Salisbury was the second round as that was the year we beat Port Vale in a replay in round 1.

Platt
Jatta x 2
Brown x 2

Stronger side than I expected. Two goals and two assists should get Brown another confidence boost. Could he actually become useful?

We'd ran the legs off Alfreton by the hour. Good game to watch and Jevani Brown looks like he's playing his way back to some of the form Exeter fans talked about.
Bass, Platt, Bedeau, Abbott and Jatta are turning out to be stellar signings for us. Add in Palmer getting back to his old self and the spine of the team looks pretty good.
Over 1000 Alfreton fans in a 6,600 crowd made it a good atmosphere too.

It certainly was, was a great first round draw for both clubs.

Yeah there’s some giving them shit on facebook and the like but 1300 is a cracking following given they normally get 400/500 odd.

Always had a bit of a soft spot for alfreton (apart from when we lost to them in the conference )

Brilliant travelling support last night. Obviously not the first time a club has brought more to Meadow Lane than they get at home

Was keeping an eye on the score given the bet - i saw the score around 85 minutes at 4-1 and it reminded me of last season at the lane

It’s not that good a following - I’m sure in the equivalent game for us, Scunthorpe, they would have brought more…
