A really tough game this one, as Mark said when the draw was made, they are probably the number one seeds, they topped the Ryman Premiere League but now lie third. But it's a hell of a long way and I see there coach leaves at 7-30 in the morning. That's going to be one tough journey for them. I'll bet there not looking forward to it. It's a shame Sandell and Chitty aren't playing but its the time of year when most squads are missing key players throuh injurys and suspensions. Hopefully the players coming in will raise there games and we can get the win. They have a hustle bustle centre forward in Matt Blake who scores a lot of goals. I'm looking forward to Tindles battle with him. I know Mark and Tom take this completion very seriously. and the money, the £3250 it brings to the winners also comes in handy. One bit of good news Nuno should be back in, a very good player who we have missed. Good luck to Mark, Tom and the lads lets get into them from the off and get the result. 😎

Tough game for sure. Will Grif replace Sans I wonder? Maybe will start with reeko as wide man.

I would like to see Griff in from the start Regi, they will have had a huge coach trip. One thing with Griff he always gives it everything. Nothing is ever left out on the pitch with him. If he runs out of steam we have others to come on. However we line up as long as get into them from the start and every player gives everything. I'm sure the result will come. 😎

Think you will find Reeko is cup tied

It'll be a tough game tomorrow. Salisbury was no walkover either.
Hope Griff plays a part but I wouldn't start him.

Bit quiet on here. think we are all relieved there is not a replay?

Fairly typical FAT November exit for us. Nice to get a bit further but we knew this would be a tough one.
Concentrate on the league...

Entertaining match - very even and either team deserved win. We had 2 chances cleared off the line and their keeper kept them in it in first half. They came out with a bit more purpose and we took a while to settle again after the break. Whoever scored first was always likely to win 1-0 I felt. Shame it had to be us concede that winner but many positives to take away from the game. Maybe missing the physicality of Sandell up front a problem for us but we did well.
Players will be very tired though and I won't be surprised if we lose at Supermarine on Tues night.

Leiston were the best footballing side we've played this season with their number 2 starting every move with a swift passing game. Yes we could have won it but for clearances off the line and some good goalkeeping. But often during the game we returned a bit to " Hoof and hope" football which is not our strength any more. I know we were missing Sandell but Fergie to partner Pratt ??? this is not his game he plays behind the front two and we therefore missed this contribution. On the bright side Connors back and fit if only on the bench, so onward and upward and lets win the league. " We're Chippenham old boys and we sing when we want".

Not certain who else could have played with Pratty, No Chitty, Felix, Guthrie, Best, Sandell mind you.Keeper did well as did Bowman and Campbell when he came on. Why keep playing Jones ?
