Reading Rebel Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 With today's game postponed I'd imagine we will put out a very strong starting 11 on Tuesday. Possibles in the Bracknell team are ex rebels Ryan Parsons, Joe Grant, Jamie McClurg, Adam Cornell, George Short and Kensley Maloney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Don’t recall seeing Joe or Kensley play for us so can only imagine they we’re a couple of game wonders? With injuries we can’t exactly put anything other than a strong squad as it’ll be more or less the same 16 who would have played today. Even though Bracknell are similar in position to Wantage I think it’ll be a tight game and see us winning by the odd goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 After Bracknell we have 14 Saturdays and a possible 13 midweek matches until the end of the season..... and 24 league matches. Any more than 3 postponed matches or additional cup games and we are looking at two midweek games in a week. I would think finishing as high as possible in the league would be the priority, and I wouldn't mind if we don't win at Bracknell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't believe Bakes and Unders will lessen their ambitions for promotion, I do think that the title looks to have escaped us now and it seems likely that we will have to make do with the play offs,which is still very much a possibility. At the start of the season I was hoping that Slough would be title winners but with the FA Cup run and the way things are panning out I will be satisfied if we can get in the play off matches [ even if we lose them ! ] . Of the teams I've seen in this division, the only team I've thought have been as good as Slough, in good footballing terms, have been Kettering, so it will be disappointing if we fail to get promotion but one we will need to get over fast. So far, Slough have looked like a Conference South team in waiting but it still feels that we have a mountain to climb to become one. Looks like it will be an exciting run in, whatever.

3spirit Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Veered off the thread about Bracknell but in agreement our game against them is insignificant now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Neil has stated they want to win this cup so I think they’ll be ‘going for it’. We should beat Bracknell (let’s be honest) then 2 more wins and the cup is ours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win this one, only 1 Tuesday will be used up as the final (last year 25/7/17) should/will be after the season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the title will be very difficult with our fixture backlog but let's all be positive until it's mathematically impossible! All to play for and if not the title then second/third spot will ensure a home tie in the semi finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the game most likely to be rearranged is the away game at Frome which considering we have Tiverton away and Banbury at home either side of the Frome game IMO won't be such a bad thing.

Joe Grant came from Ascot, not sure where Kensley came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading Rebel Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Bracknell started the game on the front foot and for the first 15/20 put us under pressure and as a consequence took the lead. Our equalizing goal from Floody was a bit of a soft one with the keeper letting the ball dribble through his hands. No denying that our second goal was an absolute cracker, some superb one touch football that ended with Floody slotting the ball home. We dominated the second half, scored a very good goal from Josh Jackman and then proceeded to miss a hat-full of chances to put the game out of sight. Overall I thought most of our players put in solid performances especially in the second half, but the player who stood out a mile on the night for his quality was Matt Lench who looked right back to his best following his injury. Also have to put a mention in for Manny Williams who also had a very good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We won which was the aim just a shame we couldn’t have made it easier than the 3-2 scoreline shows. We certainly could have scored 2 or 3 more. So is the final venue not decided at the start or is it decided once the finalists are known? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 3 or 4 more wouldn't have flattered us with our second half chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
