FA Trophy 2015-16

[appletablepenny]

Burscough it is then.
Our last league game there saw us win 0-4 with on loan striker Damian Reeves providing the assists.
I'm expecting a closer game this time around.

Damian who?

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Damian who?

He's one of your own
Not sure how he came to us or who loaned him, he finished that season with Bradford Park Avenue, we got auto promotion and BPA failed in the play offs.

 

[Alty Pieman]

Scott Leather is first choice centre back, don't understand what you're talking about here.

You have a short memory, Tom Marshall was first choice until he was injured 5th game this year, he was last years player of the season and Scott, whilst definitely improving all the time, might not be first choice at CB if Tom was fit, he would play RB though if Dens was out.

Two of their goals came from his errors, ironically Sam did really well. But I still like Scott and he may well keep his place as I cant see Tom getting match fit without a loan out somewhere.

I don't like to single people out, but Leather and to a lesser extent Sinnott Jr. are the reason we aren't still in the Cup. Both were poor on Sunday while the rest of the team played out of their skins.

Tom Marshall wasn't first choice centre back until Scott Leather got sent off at Wrexham last November. Scott Leather was POTY the season before. My point being that Scott Leather is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a "kid", and it wasn't the presence of a "kid" that cost the game.

Whether you call a 21 yr old a kid or not (that's nit picking really), he's much less experienced than Tom or Luca, that was the point I was making really.

 

[appletablepenny]

23 years old, over 130 senior appearances for Altrincham. Yes, you're right. Perhaps he'll be OK once he's got a few games under his belt.

 

[B2TF]

So this Trophy thing, Tin Potters take it seriously, right?

Well we all know you'll never win anything playing the kids

 

[Alty Pieman]

He played in the play off final against you Scott is still a kid to me

It's all we have.

 

[CrazyImp]

I couldn't be less excited about Saturday. An avenue.....in Bradford. Not even where all the good curry houses are.

 

[Chris FGR]

We don't. Our manager has already said we'll be making 9 changes for our game this weekend and our line up will feature 2 first year pros. Bigger fish to fry.

Don't worry, i work near there, torrential rain last night and more forecast. A lovely bitter east wind to go with it too, just to give you some cheer

To warm you up try this little gem

 

[BarnwoodCTFC]

Our Manager and Chairman have said we want to win the double this year so are taking it seriously. That said, we will make 2-3 changes I am sure.

 

[B2TF]

Guiseley?

 

[JaredSUFC]

So despite Concord breaking the rules, we're having to replay the tie (albeit at Gander Green Lane) on December 16th. Well at least we're in the 2nd round draw

 

[GTFCfish]

Bigger fish to fry.

Hey, leave me out of this........

[Luke Imp]

Not sure about the co-commentary of the kids. Not quite Neville and Tyler.

[Sparrow]

Another boring draw against Maidenhead, who beat us 3-0 in the FA Cup. At least it's at home this time.


Who did Aldershot get?

 

[EnglishRed]

Where is Chesham?

Come on Chesham, we don't want to go all the way down to Torquay again.

Edit: ah just Googled it. Considering all my Dad's family are from Aylesbury I should have known that. Yeah we want them please.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Dulwich Hamlet? Away!
We need to throw in the towel tomorrow v Burscough ffs

 

[appletablepenny]

Bognor Regis away. What a trek, assuming we get past Leamington tomorrow (not a given).

 

[Imp in Branston]

Something wrong with the draw, we have been (potentially) given a home draw. Probably still lose at BPA anyway!

 

[The_Boss]

Potentially Truro away, can get down and see my old man in Cornwall for the weekend!

 

[Aberstone]

Grimsby or Solihull (A) if we can get past Weston tomorrow night, which we won't.

 

[Davidimp]

First home draw in a year!

 

[Bluandwite]

Home to Hungerford Town, will take that, good chance to progress again.

First time we've been drawn at home in the Trophy or FA Cup since November 2013, our last six have been away. About time.
