BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted December 2, 2019 It depends upon our situation in the league surely. If we can achieve a decent run of results that the recent upturn in form promises and if it results in a safer outlook as far as our quest for survival goes then I feel that we could be ripe for a good cup run, at last. This team is capable of rising to the occasion and excelling it's self at times, and although I emphasise "team," we are packed with individuals who could shine on the day. We could achieve a decent success rate with one off encounters and with the pressure of having to gain league points off. It would be about time and lesser units than us have achieved success in this competition in recent times. A decent cup run at least would be good for the club.

Mello Yello 2,282 Posted December 2, 2019 Just watched a very entertaining 2nd round FA cup tie Solihull Moors v Rotherham......NCFC loanee Carlton Morris was playing for the Millers, didn't really make a huge impression and was subbed just after 54 mins.....Then on 76 mins Rotherham came from 3-0 down to score 4 goals in 14 mins to win 3-4.....Granty Holty was a pundit.....Top Geezer 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grando 260 Posted December 3, 2019 Seeing this draw I get the sense that the old “we’re going to concentrate on the league” expression is shortly going to be getting out of its annual early January box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,877 Posted December 3, 2019 I'm 60 so grew up with the dream of an FA Cup final. I've now reached the depressing conclusion that we can't afford to risk injuries in a 3rd round tie. I watched Preston play last night. They have a 'robust' approach to the game.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,783 Posted December 3, 2019 No offence to Preston, but this is quite possibly the least interesting tie we could've possibly got. An away game against a team from the league below, and one we've played against several times in the last few years anyway. I think we have to play the second string for many reasons. Firstly because they need match fitness, secondly because they'll get unhappy if they're not playing, thirdly because we can rest our key players and also because the second string may actually play with more fire in the belly and motivation because they want to force their way into the first team rather than be concerned about picking up injuries.
