Well done to the boys, battled to the end and a deserved equaliser. More than matched them. Bring on the replay.

Draw was a fair result.
Also getting a fumble from the woman security guard on the way in looking for flares was a touch the dirty old milf.
See you Tuesday (that’s the team not her...)

Well done lads. Going in to last 4 minutes I really thought that was it! Just on the final minutes, I have a number of points:
1. The Chippenham keepers quick thinking and distribution directly lead to the goal.
2. Maidenhead bringing on a sub in extra time, probably gave us the time to score.
3. The Maidenhead stiker taking a shot from the re-spot was genius and well watched by the Chippenham keeper.
This is not going to go down well. Mcootie is not quite up to CS!
I have to choose between my other team Cambridge Utd (at Swindon) or Maidenhead on Tuesday. AHhhh...

Nick is a big lad and so hasn't got the delicate touches. This can make him look a little clumsy at times. However, on the other hand he's a big physical presence and he's very fast. He can cover ground extremely quickly and frequently forces errors out of defenders who are looking to clear the ball. I think he makes a good partnership with Nat Jarvis and offers protection to the younger players like Carnell Chambers. I think he's good enough for our level and is definitely a player I'd rather have in the team than out of it. He also happens to have the best song of any of the players and he clearly enjoys the adoration.
The equaliser was unbelievable so late in the game. You could see how much it meant to the players by the way they celebrated, including our keeper who ran the length of the pitch to join in.
It was great to be able to welcome our old friend Dennis back this afternoon. He took a bit of a beating over the 94 minutes, but didn't seem to mind.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game, especially the last minute! Long time since I've seen HP explode like that. To be fair there was a buzz about the place right from kickoff.The equaliser was well deserved, the whole team and subs played with 'pride and passion' particularly after we went one down. Our back four were really solid, as this particular four usually are. Their goal was as near as you can get to unstoppable in my opinion, as soon as it cleared the wall it was in. My only disappointment was the attendance, I would have expected more.
Can't make the replay unfortunately, I have seen the ground many times from the railway going up to London. Good luck to the boys!

Hats off too to the club for arranging the overflow parking at the school and the professional signs making it absolutely clear where to park and the route on foot to the ground.
The attendance, given the excellent weather, was a bit of a disappointment. Difficult to fathom why.
I can't wait for Tuesday evening. Let's make some noise and spur the lads onto victory!
