FA Trophy 2016/17

[Luke Imp]

6 changes for us today, although not as a young a bench as DC probably wanted - U18's must have had a match this morning.

Rhead, Woodyard and Wood on the bench. Robinson, Arnold and Waterfall not even in the squad. Two new loan signings start.

 

[Blue Lion]

A few changes for us at Sudbury - Dudley, Browne, Perel and Bell all start for the 1st time. Ollie Norburn makes his first start since his injury in early October which is great news. The match is being billed as the biggest in Sudbury's history, disappointed I can't be there

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Yep, Askey risking it by making 7 changes from Dover. Strong bench but no Danny Rowe in the squad to call on. Hope the team see it as a chance to get into the 1st 11, and that they know each others' names...

 

[The_Boss]

No Danny Whit on the bench either to offer experience if needed. Is Richie Wellens cup tied? Strange he's not got a run out if not.

No he isn't. A few unexplained absences in recent games

 

[Mark kavanagh]

Richie sutton with a nerve settler, south park have been decent so far 1-0

 

[Mark kavanagh]

2-0

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

1-0 up. Rhys Browne on his debut

 

[Blue Lion]

2-0 now. Anthony Dudley

 

[Mark kavanagh]

3-0 jake kirby, south park are brave and talented we are just a tad more clinical

 

[The_Boss]

No he isn't. A few unexplained absences in recent games

Suppose it all comes down to finances. If he's on a pay as you play deal, whats the point in taking him all the way to Sudbury in a game we should be able to win without him?

 

[Chris FGR]

We're 1 up, Marcus Kelly after a good passing move. Dominating possession.

 

[Luke Imp]

We've just gone 2-1 up. Whitehouse.

Don't want ET, please.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

Stunning free kick by south park captain, 3-1 and a great memory for the ruislipers to rake home with them

 

[Blue Lion]

3-0 Silkmen, Jack Sampson

 

[Blue Lion]

Sudbury score now so lead back down to two

 

[Luke Imp]

Couple of minutes left in our game, currently 3-1 up. Hawkridge with the third.

Means NFU will now be on a Tuesday.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

4-1 here , cole stockton on his return

[DarkSithLord]

Terrible day for us. Local radio refused entry - no twitter coverage. Plus we lost to a last minute winner after sitting back for the last 15 minutes. Conceding was inevitable Sigh....

 

[Chris FGR]

Easy win. Chester very poor.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Askey's risks paid off, fairly comfortable win and decent performances from those on debuts and the returning Norburn, though obviously can't read too much into it due the level of opposition. Nice little club, friendly and with excellent facilities. Home tie in the next round please...

 

[Davidimp]

Wasn't expecting that at all!
1 down at half time with 6 changes and then we turn it around to win 3-1.
Great for some of the squad players to stand up and give the Cowleys something to think about.
Fair play to the 169 Imps who went, hope they all have tickets for Tuesday as they deserve one!
1 defeat in 21 now, amazing!

 

[Bluandwite]

Best wishes to Charlie Cooper this evening, poleaxed by the invisable man. I can still hear his squeals of pain now.

DIRTY NORTHERN BASTARDS:

He was hit by condensed air. Dirty northern condensed air.

 

[Luke Imp]

Keeper in the Whitehawk game. Ouch.

Baffles me, winning 2-0 and comfortable and decides to act like the biggest prat on the planet for some reason. I honestly just don't understand some people at all.

Not at our best today and killed off by two quality strikes from Kelly. Lynch was unsighted for the second but the first was excellent. I've always liked him but doesn't seem to have featured much of late, been injured or just out of favour?

 

[iron4ever]

Did a thorough demolition job on East Thurrock today who were outclassed all over the pitch. How they managed to beat Aldershot away in the previous round I dont know. Seems there is a wide gap between the National and National South this year as we have beaten two higher than mid table sides 7-0 (Eastbourne in FA cup) and today East Thurrock 5-2 and we are hardly setting the National alight this season.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Sounds like we struggled again. 2-0 down to Matlock at the hour mark, but scraped by them.
Manager calling for reinforcements - we won't get play-offs without them.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

The guy who does commentary for Chester is hilarious. Post match summary was to the effect of "Chester having an off day but Forest Green now well on their way to a league and cup double for which they're surely favourites." He couldn't resist a dig at us.
