Difficult one to call.

Will their priority be avoiding relegation?

Is our priority pushing for promotion?
Difficult to call certainly!!

One thing is for certain… neither will win the cup.

However, a run to the third round would be great for our club and the town… I guess a good run for a L1 club would be to reach R4?

As long as it’s a good, fairly refereed game and we give a decent account of ourselves then we shouldn’t grumble.

It’s a pity that there ain’t any replays these days :-(

Safe journey to the travelling Iron faithful at Blackpool today, let’s hope the boys give a good account of themselves at higher league opposition UTI.

Safe journey guys (inc gals) and sing your hearts out as normal.

One of our ‘bogey’ teams.
They’ve won their previous five R1 FA Cup ties – we’ve lost our previous four.
Bookies have 1-1 as the shortest scorecast.
Their place ain’t a particularly happy hunting ground for us.
They appointed Ian Evatt on Monday 20th October and they enjoyed the new manager bounce last week with a 2-1 win at bottom club Peterborough.
They sit 2nd bottom of the league and needed to win last weekend to leapfrog their hosts and demote them to 24th & last place.

However, you’d think that a new manager in situ would want to prove himself?

Difficult one to call.

Heart 0-1 Iron
Gut 2-1 Blackpool
Head 1-1 … who knows with pens?

A club higher up the pyramid may come a knocking?
Reading – he’d probably need to relocate?
Peterborough – expected to replace DF today.

If GM hits the rocks at Donny – then I can see AB given serious consideration for the job.

Donny last won Sept 6th

As Forrest Trump / Donald Gump said – “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get”

Beat the league leaders 3-0 at home last week.
Lost to the team bottom of the league 0-2 away yesterday.

Football… pff!

Ah, but how do we get live coverage of Tuesday’s game?

I’ll be giving it a miss – as I have the other MMC games.

Dawson never had any pace; after his two knee injuries, he’ll be even slower.

Given today’s lineup , I would be more than happy with a boring, flat 1-0 win!

Let’s hope they don’t have a new manager in place before Saturday, we don’t want their players trying to impress a new guy.

Let’s hope Alan Dowson brings his 10% and not his 42% revolver to the gunfight on Saturday.

Too many draws, only two teams have drawn more. It cost us promotion a couple of seasons ago, are repeating it this season. Rochdale well away with games in hand – no draws.

Agreed, we’re not losing… but not winning enough.

[Rene Artois]

And yet… we still look for things to grumble about. That’s life :-)

I guess you play inverted full backs to cope with inverted wide men?

Attendance: 1,980 (101 away)

1980 x 20 = £39,600

Costs?
Coach £3k?
Hotel 16 rooms x £100 = £1,600
Food £1,000
Misc (laundering, players travel expenses etc) £1,000?

Total = £6.6k

Possibly need 17% of the match receipts to cover costs?
