Should defo be on the Saturday as well because if Windsor get through they are away.

That's very dull - i was hoping for some exotic away trip....

Still, if we've got some of our injured players back we should be in a better position to beat them this year. Might be interesting for Whincup as well, as his mate - tall black guy whose been hanging behind his goal for last few matches - is goalkeeper for Welling. He's been injured so been coming down to give him support.

I think that is a big "if", Hodges and Hakki almost certainly would not be fit in time. One or two of the others may be available which should at least give us a few more options rather than on Saturday when the players that could walk the best made it on to the pitch.

Personally I am happy to get a home draw against a team a league above us. £3,750 to the winners.

[Matt]

Especially since they're bottom of the Nationwide South. Will still be tough, but if we get a few first-teamers back, we'll have a much better chance.

 

It's a bit dull I suppose that we've drawn the same team as last season, at the same stage, but it's not the worst draw in the world. Should also attract a larger than average crowd (was about 465 last season I think, and a similar number in the replay).

 

Would have been nice to draw Weymouth or AFC Wimbledon for the large crowd of course, or Maidenhead for local bragging rights, but overall it's not a bad draw.
