It was only yesterday that you said "we're  in good form and I'm  positive we can go there and get a  result"   That was before they scraped home aet tonight   ? 

Correct Adrian.

But to put any relevance to their game last night with Cirencester to our encounter with them in the next round is crazy.  

[GlenSTFC]

Surely form is form whether it’s good or bad or league or cup? 

[Reading Rebel]

Of course it's better to be in form going into any game than out of form.

My only point to Adrian's post is that just because it took Chippenham two games to dispose of Cirencester this will bear no relevance to the outcome of our game with them.

[Irishadrian]

It wont be only form but the confidence in the two teams  We are full of confidence and Dartford are a struggling team who only have one home win all season  If we win this one we will be so fired up!

[Shredding Green]

I have a concert to go to at South Bank Centre in the evening so am going to Hayes & Yeading United v Hendon en route.

Otherwise I would have enjoyed a train trip to meet you all at Hardenhuish Park.

As I expected we did our bit today and our run continues and our confidence grows for next Saturday Chippenham on the other hand lost 2 more home league points against DH

Chippenham equalizer came at 90 mins

[GlenSTFC]

They probably rested all their star players for next Saturday’s match.

Glen Their recent teams+subs are all on their Twitter feed  and very few changes

Again IMO Chippenham's draw against Dorking will have very little bearing on our FA cup game with them next Saturday.

Besides as we know Dorking are a good team and level on points with us so a draw for Chippenham was hardly a poor result.

Drew with Dulwich today, both teams scoring very late on and getting a point each.

No bearing on next week though, albeit I’m sure the Rebels contingent will help as the 12th man

[Reading Rebel]

Yes, for some reason I had Dorking on the brain

Not as much as Billericay did at full time with them ?

Probably premature to be thinking about the next round, but with an eye on the draw tomorrow, the only request I have is that if we do progress that we get a home draw.

There is a 50:50 chance that your request will be granted, Curtis.

It's a bit like a chess match, whoever we might get at home, we might get away.

From The Top Drawer :-

Aldershot Town, Barnet, Bromley, Ebbsfleet United, Hayes & Yeading United, Margate, Maidenhead United, Maidstone United (my pre-season National League South title tip), Sutton United, Torquay United, Welling United, Weymouth and Yeovil Town.

From The Bottom Drawer :-

Carshalton Athletic, Chichester City, Haringey Borough, Kings Langley, Maldon and Tiptree, Oxford City, Poole Town, Potters Bar Town, Royston Town and Whyteleafe.

For real ale lovers, Maldon and Tiptree away would be the plum tie!!!

Are Maidstone still your tip for the title SG?

I  think the title will be won by Havant & Waterlooville, Maidstone United, Slough Town or Wealdstone.
I am at Twerton Park on Saturday for Bath City v Maidstone United. I know that Maidstone United are improving
Slough Town play Havant & Waterlooville on 9/11 (away but FA Cup 1st. Round Proper) and 15/2 and Wealdstone on 26/12 and 1/1 before the massive end of season showdown against Maidstone United on 25/4. 

 

[GlenSTFC]

Away to Whyteleafe for the winners of tomorrow’s replay.

IF we progress that’s a favourable draw.

[Reading Rebel]

All I can say is that it's a great incentive to get the job done tomorrow night.

[GlenSTFC]

Unfortunately Chippenham will be thinking exactly the same! It should make for a better game and atmosphere with everyone knowing the ‘prize’. Hard to predict the crowd but I’d hope for at least 700.
