Slough v Kidlington (FA Trophy)

[Reading Rebel]

Kidlington remain 7 games unbeaten after their 3-1 win away to Evesham last night with ex rebel Anaclet Odhiambo getting one of the goals.

 

Tough game in prospect with other ex rebels in the Kidlington squad Mark Janes and Declan Benjamin.

RR what level do we have to play to lose the tough/difficult tag??!! ? But seriously I’m expecting a comfortable win and we should bring double their average crowd of 60 odd! Plus a not to be sniffed at £3,000 prize.

[GlenSTFC]

I don’t personally remember those 2 playing for us (maybe it’s because I’m old?) I guess they played very few games?

[staines_rebel_Jr]

Anything but a replay.

[GlenSTFC]

More concerned about possible injuries. Not that we can field a weakened team but expect (if fit) James and Wadkins to start with Webb, Fraser, Hollis also grabbing a starting berth.

Glen, I can sense you're really nervous about this game despite your false bravado and rhetoric. 

 

All the cliche's are there for a cup upset so beware of the omens

It's all on our excellent player database.

 

 

Anaclet Odhiambo 11 games 3 goals  2006/7

 

Declan Benjamin 5 games 1 goal  2015/16

 

Mark Janes 3 games 0 goals  2007/8

[GlenSTFC]

I know I just meant I don’t recall from memory those names. I do remember Anaclet though, he must be nearly as ancient as Manny!

[Stan]

Benjamin was on loan with us for a while and put in some good performances.

With regards the tie it's the same as every other cup match against a team at a different level.

If we bring our A game ( with whatever team the managers select ) we win . SImple. If we underestimate them or think we just have to turn up then they have a chance.

Just to let you all know that this is one of the featured matches in this weekend's Non League Paper

[GlenSTFC]

Don’t buy it not worth the money!

[redwine rebel]

Glennie this jealousy of Manny has got to stop X

[Longshot]

I used to buy the Non League Paper every week, but the price kept going up and most of the Info in it is available on line so i stopped buying it.

[GlenSTFC]

It’s only the few pages of news stories and features that interest me and to be fair you can find the majority of that online! So what’s left are masses of match reports, tables and fixtures, which are of no interest and again all online if you want to read a particular report or view a league table. I’m surprised it’s still going as sales must be way down from years ago. Do they still pay for EVERY match report?

Glennie, with only one fit striker, tomorrows Trophy game has got just that bit tougher     

[GlenSTFC]

My mate Manny will bang in the goals plus we stil have attacking players like Dobson, Lench and Harris to rely on. I wonder if we’ll play 2 up front or just Manny?

[Reading Rebel]

Although you're right in that our Manny knows how to bang the goals in, I see him more as a number 10 linking up play between the midfield and forwards.

 

I think we tried Lenchy up front against St Neots and with a lot of long balls in the air it didn't work.

 

Whether we play one or two up front tomorrow, with no natural target man the one thing we have to do is play the ball to feet which could be dictated by the state of the pitch. 

[Reading Rebel]

I think the NLP is great value and provides non league clubs and players with excellent media exposure.

[GlenSTFC]

Ah but if sales aren’t great it’s not really going to give excellent exposure? I’ll see if I can find figures...
