I really think you've lost it,Softie.

So Abbey lost a few players through injury last season.Well, the've lost a few players to Hornchurch now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> (including their top goalscorer last year)

We totally outplayed them in our last league clash at Brimsdown,and feel we deserved at least a draw in the away game.That last cup final was an absolute farce,played on a concrete and gravel dust bowl,topped of with a phycotic referreeing display.No one can take that game as a marker.

As Andy said.Is beating Wingate by 4 goals at home,better than beating them by three goals away???

Who else thinks Town go into the game as underdogs???
Town lie 7th in the Southern league Div1.Abbey lie 10th in the Essex senior.


Why are you so angry at my opinion? Free Country as far as I'm aware.

What is our home record this season as you have raised it? In the league lost to Harlow, lost to Dartford, won against Great Wakering Rover. We totally outplayed Dartford but still lost. We outplayed the Abbey in the past and still lost.

The one thing in our favour this time I hope is better quality officiating and yes the imporvments to the squad during the closed season. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/argue.gif" alt="" />

Towns top scorers against Waltham Abbey are Lee Smith 4 and Rudi Hall 2.

Town are clearly favourites, however I do think Wabbey are a bit of a Concord Rangers to us, I never feel confident when we play them, there always seems to be something contraversial happening.

No disrespect to Wabbey a good team, but this is the FA cup, pastures new or a change of visitor to Goldsdown Road would be more appreciated!

Actually softie Lee Smith has only 3 against abbey and everyone else has 1!

 

I appreciate that the web site says Rudi has 2 but if you check out the report for 2.4.05 the 3-1 win super kev scored one of the goals and thats what the stats say as well.

 

Jim nitpicker (but official nitpicker)

Sorry to butt in to a private conversation

( can you eve's drop via the internet ? ).

 

I think Softie's making a very good point it's not that he or any of us want the Town to lose but your last statement about the league positions is a recipe for a good ole cup upset.

 

All those Wabbey's looking at this need no more motivation than that, perceived arrogance about where the Town are in relation to them.

 

This is what the "Cup" is all about the underdogs getting under the skins of the "Posher" clubs, and causing an upset.

 

Hope Jim knows his team for next week and the players are up for it.

 

Fingers crossed yo'all.

Using W & F as a measure as to the favourite is daft. THey are a poor side and my view is that Abbey would do better than them if they were in the SLE right now. We have home advantage and a stronger squad now and surely start as favourites. My only concern is that whilst we have the players they are not playing as a unit yet.

I've never heard such nonsence,Softie.We finished well above Abbey in the ESL last year (we were champions unless you've forgotten).The last time we played them at home ,we beat them 3-1.From what i gather, their squad is not quite as strong as last season,whilst Towns squad has been improved on, from last season.We are a step higher than Abbey,and we will have home advantage.


Are you baseing your opinion soley on the fact that Abbey beat wingate by 4 goals,where as we only beat then by 3? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Or are you baseing your opinion on the farce of a league cup final last season?


I think you may have a short memory. Abbey were walking the league unbeaten last year with a massive points lead until they lost a few players through injury. Their misfortune was our luck.

Have we or have we not lost 3 out of the last 4 times we played Abbey? When we beat them 3 - 1 we did beat them with a very good performance. Then in the Cup Final we were poor regardless of the officiating. Two wrongs do not make a right. We can beat Abbey. BUT Abbey beating Wingate and Finchley 6 - 2 tells me the Wabbey Chavys will be ready for us. Nobody wants Town to win more than I do. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/argue.gif" alt="" />


Wibble.
