League Cup v Burnham

[Tom]

For those that might not have seen, Burnham have a pitch inspection planned for 16:30 should this be necessary.

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

i take it that is 1630 tuesday?

though i would be extremely surprised if its on, the gore is not renowned for its ability to drain quickly.

[Manor Park Rebel]

Can't see the match being on tonight with the amount of rain falling this morning. At this rate the match at Marlow must be in doubt too even if the forecast is right and it improves after today. I assume these people who want to see a winter break in the game will arrange for the rotten weather to take place at the same time.

[Neil Baker]

Can't say it is looking too promising for tonight, as it is hammering down where I am presently and did all night:

 

However if the game is on the squad will be as follows:

 

Matt Bonnett, Sean Fraser, Ryan Parsons, Guy Hollis, Dave Woozley, Michael Blount, Adam Foulser, Warren Harris, Darren Wheeler, Jake Parsons, Leigh Rumbold, Jamie McClurg, Ben Edwards, George Short, Seb Castello, Scott Harris

Only one striker?

 

JD not fit or just not available?

[Mr Rebel]

great to have Wooz back in the squad although as said the game probably isn't going to be on

[Neil Baker]

JD is suspended and Eddie still not fit:

 

We have Warren and Wheeler who can both play up top, and their will be news on the main site about another striker later, however is too late to involve him tonight.

[Rebel Kay]

Well its 11.30 and the sun is shining, blue skies and a brisk wind five minutes down the road from Burnham.  

[Radders]

Burnhams twitter says pitch has PASSED 1630 inspection but another one is planned for 1800 in case rain persists.

[Rebel Kay]

Was just about to post that.  You beat me to it.

[Stuntman Mark]

Seems sensible with a bit of rain forecast between now and six. Reckon this will be on though...

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

good grief they must have done something with the drainage at the gore best the team strip be a set of speedos and goggles.

[Rebel Kay]

Game still on as of 6.10pm

[HorshamRebel]

Good luck to the team tonight.

[Stuntman Mark]

Nothing like a big physical battle with local rivals on a heavy pitch to help our injury ravaged squad bounce back from a bad Christmas. Looking forward to it. COYR!

[Martin]

Well finished 3-3 and we then lost 4-2 on pens.

 

Went two nil down in the first half despite playing pretty well. Roared back at the start of the second half playing at a high tempo and two goals from Scott Harris had us deservedly level. Got caught out from a corner to allow a free header for 3-2 before Hollis grabbed the equaliser late on.

 

Thoroughly entertaining game and very encouraging performance. Roll on Saturday and a return to winning ways.

Really enjoyed the game tonight.

 

I thought the team showed some real character tonight with an excellent second half fight back after, what must be said, was a sloppy first half gifting Burnham their 2 goal first half lead.

 

Fought back to 2 each with some excellent play and then conceded a 3rd goal from an unmarked header from a corner.

 

Again showed great spirit to level at 3 -3 and then dipped out on penalties which, to be honest, I'm not too worried about.

 

Very impressed with Leigh Rumbold on his debut tonight.

 

My MOTM was between Warren Harris and Leigh Rumbold with 'Rummy' getting the nod for an excellent debut and a goal to boot.

I'm sure Leigh Rumbold scored one tonight.

[Radders]

From following twitter it sounded like bonnett had another decent game. Was this the case? Unlucky to the lads tonight - hopefully a mini boost before the next league match.

[Mark44]

Made a few decent saves and looks very good.

 

Unlucky in pen shoot out, got a hand to 2 of their pens and would have saved them had he been a couple of inches taller
