Brentwood

John Batch says in tonights Echo that he will use squad players for this game so it should be an interesting line-up.

Barkingside lost 2-0 at home to Tilbury last night in one of the other 1/4 finals.

unfortunatly that was the case. But be warned, don't underestimate Brentwood guys

Brentwood are top of the ESL so having a good season. Won't be an easy game tonight.

Can`t see that happening, the league is the main priority but i`m sure the management would like to go further in this competition.

bourne

corbell

batch

reade

edgar

luck

gordon

[Matt H]

Capleton

Blewer, West, Wall, Crow

Gordon, Batch, Reade, Corbell

Luck, Reynolds

 

Maybe even Britnell to start and Reade up front for Reynolds.

whats wrong with wiseman?

[Matt H]

Dislocated his finger on Saturday should be back this weekend.

Awful performance tonight. Just didn't look up for it at all.

 

Nasty moment when Mel came racing out of goal and fell awkwardly on his head.

 

Ambulance had to be called but luckily Mel is OK but will be out for the weekend. Hope Ricky is back as we have problems if he's not.

 

Westy went in goal and did well. Had no chance for the third goal.

 

A quality free kick from Ian Luck was the one real highlight of the night but we were absolutely awful at times tonight and it could have been alot more than 3-1.

 

At least we don't have to go to Tilbury now but it would have been nice to have played Billericay in the final.

Our surprisingly stronger than expected starting line-up were totally second rate against a team that could cause us problems should we face them in the league next season. Thought Greg Tiffin's goal for them was good, only to be outdone by his own team-mate in the final minute.

 

Bowen and Reynolds still show good potential though and I totally forgot Crow was playing tonight until he was subbed. Hopefully things will improve for Saturday.

 

Glad Mel is ok, thought he'd swallowed his tongue.

[YELLOW]

Head injury I think. I hear he collapsed in the dressing room at half time. Thankfully he's OK now.

 

Brentwood are no mugs. Quite a few of their side were at HX when they won the ESL last season. Michael Beggs who scored tonight was at Wakering earlier this season and looked quite useful for them.
