FA Cup First Round

[Silver Stone]

Too many games to list but here we go - yesterday I would have said Joe Healy might get his first game this weekend but... I guess that's not happening now. 3-1 Rochdale for me.

In the Dale end for this one, looking forward to it!

 

[The_Boss]

I've got a weird feeling Walsall will be a little complacent, and we'll put away a few chances.

Unless Jack Sampson has to play as the lone striker, in that case 4-0 to the Polish side.

 

[Sparrow]

Going up on the train to Stockport.

We're taking TWO COACHES as well.

INVASION

MAJIK OF DA CAP

We'll lose 2-1.

 

[Benfcht]

Dagenham away. I'm gonna enjoy this......

Two sides inform and near the top of their leagues. Feel like we'll put up a fair fight but just lose out. 2-1 Dagenham.

 

[Gashead]

Where do people think the upsets are gonna be?

Think Eastleigh, Stockport and Dover have a chance. Would love to see Kiddy or Maidstone pull off a shock though.

Westfields v Curzon, MK Dons v Spennymoor, Gillingham v Brackley and Colchester v Chesterfield are a few that look like potential upsets to me.

Taunton v Barrow could well be a draw which would be a sort of upset as well.

 

[Forza Imps]

We are crap in the cup so I never have any confidence in us. We're different this year so maybe our cup form will change. Would be delighted to be in the second round.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

We're away at Taunton on Sunday, and interestingly all 2,400 tickets have gone. Meaning the prospect of watching our team is more attractive to people in Somerset than it is to the people of Barrow.
Still back us to register a good win though, with only one or two changes to our usual XI

 

[Bendubz]

We've been a lot better the past few weeks, would love to cause an upset but I reckon it's beyond us. I'm working this weekend so sadly I'll miss it, but i'll be there in spirit.

[DarkSithLord]

My tip for a shock are Eastleigh, Alfreton, Kidderminster and I have a sneaky feeling Brackley may turn Gillingham over!

 

[McMark]

Long trip to Somerset against Taunton Town, as always these games are a potential banana skin, Runcorn Town put paid to us a couple of seasons ago but we have progressed hugely since then in more ways than one!
A sell out crowd of around 2400 expected so should make for an electric atmosphere, really looking forward to it.
Expect us to weather the storm of a twenty minute onslaught and see our way into the next round by the odd goal in three.

Barely a shock considering they did us at this stage a couple of years ago anyway...

Even so a Conference North club winning away at a League One club is a surprise

We're at home to Altrincham mate.

We're at home to Altrincham mate.

No idea why I have written Stourbridge again. I will edit now.

 

[Davidimp]

No worries DSL

 

[Murphy]

We SHOULD see off Halifax, but we have got an absolute bundle of injuries to contend with, so they have a chance. Wouldn't mind betting we give a couple of lads their full debuts.

 

[Boz]

Eastleigh and Alfreton seem the most likely upsets involving league sides, while Stockport could see off Woking.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Incredible to think that with our game live on Fox Sports in the US on Sunday there is to be house parties and viewings to watch us?! The support over there for us is unreal.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

St Albans to inflict Carlisle's first defeat of the season.

 

[Harrier94]

Think we could nick a draw and have a win back at ours. But with Harriers fans probably outnumbering Blackpool/Oysten Fc fans hopefully we can help inspire a win.

Also think Solihull, Alfreton, Stourbridge and Eastleigh will beat bigger teams.

 

[Pliny Harris]

Making an extended weekend out of this, down today after a friend's wake this evening, Dagenbridge & Redham the Saturday afternoon, and meeting old chums/going to gigs through to Tuesday. Would be happy to cross paths with any D&R fans at the game for tinpot talk, fun and MORE.

The Pipe Major just outside Dagenham East station is a good boozer which we met several decent D&R fans last week, serves a nice carvery and it's a Marstons house so the beer is good too.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I really really wish I could go to westfields vs Curzon, but work and bad timing botched it. Its one of the biggest games for both clubs. People are treating Curzon as big, due to westfields being the smallest club in draw, but last sat Curzon only had 201 fans at their league game.......they are also a very small club.

Makes Saturday financially massive for both, plus huge games for the players on both sides. For a league club 10-20k isn't much, but here it can be very important, plus whoever wins will be almost gauranteed tv cash if they can pull out a home draw next round.

Game will lack the quality, but the passion will be off the scale, so will energy and effort, Curzon taking about 150 odd fans, feel sorry for westfields having Hereford on same time, but hope the tv stiff brings a good crowd.

Bt showing 1 hour of highlights of the game on sat night

 

[Luke Imp]

Should obviously be a win for us.

Whitehouse cup-tied but it sounds like Marriott and Miles will make the bench and hopefully the latter some game time.

 

[GFCSludge]

Part of me wants to see us lose to Brackley just so Edinburgh will go away, a win won't even begin to paper over the cracks. I can't stand much more of our ineptitude this season.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Dartford away is more than a potential banana skin tie. I'd be happy with a draw and to bring them back to the home of Football

 

[B2TF]

Come on Swindon, can't lose to shit like Eastlee. ​
