Does that take into account Maidenhead's recent record of no wins in 6 league games plus 4-7 loss at Halifax in the FA Cup RR? 3rd from bottom in NL now versus Maidstone now 5th in NLS, so only 8 league positions difference?

Maidstone will fancy this one!

 

George Wells played the full mach at Southend but was not in the squad for the Solihull Moors match. I can see no mention of why anywhere.

These runs of good or bad results from a very good team are fascinating. Fulham won seven consecutive Championship games with F25 A2 but then drew the next four. In National League South, Dartford looked invincible at the start of the season but after winning 0-6 at Welling United in the league and 0-3 at Maidstone United in the FA Cup in successive matches, their league record has been W2 D4 L3. Ebbsfleet United then looked invincible winning six successive league matches before losing the next three. Maidstone United also started well but then lost four successive home matches without scoring. Now they have beaten Ebbsfleet United 2-3 away and Dartford 4-0 at home in successive league matches. Hak's a happy, confident manager again!!!

Being a cup game I think form will go out of the window and the magpies will get through the tie.

Stones could easily have beaten Dartford 9-0 last Saturday. 

Dartford looked way below their best with some terrible mistakes made by their goalkeeper Jernade Meade :-

Maidstone through with a bye today after Maidenhead pull out due to a number of Covid-19 cases at the club

That's a shame as it promiseed to be a bumper gate at only £10 adults and £5 over 65s and massive away support to match the scoreline. 

But it should help the Arbour Park gate for those who still wish to see an FA Trophy 3rd round tie at £15 adults and £9 over 65s.
