Is this going to be third time lucky that we beat this lot? I'd rather have had Barnet. This won't be easy, have we ever beaten them? I don't want to be pessimistic but if we go 1-0 down in the second half, we're in deep do do,
They'll just pack the defence and do a Yeovil on us.
The key to victory is to take an early lead which will force them to stop being so defensive and hopefully score a second as they start leaving gaps in search of an equaliser.
We've got the best forward in the league, the best midfield players, I do worry about the defence and especially Slocombe when they start faffing around at the back.
I think the main reason we have the second best defence is not because it is so good, it's because we retain the ball most of the time, and if we have the ball, the other team can't score. I have to say, I'm slightly worried and won't relax until we're 2 or even 3-0 up.
I can't se us winning 3-0...but it's a funny old game.
We have been a sensation in the league this season. It is not only the results and the points it is also the way we play. When we play with ball possession we are hard to get at and always a threat forward. Let's play our style in this one and win with 3-0.
We just have to do it and put another bogey team to the sword. I fully expect a difficult start and after going 1 down we come back with 3 of our own and win 3-1.
I cant bear the thought of losing this one let alone the final to Bromley!! Yes you heard it first Cheaterfield to lose the other Semi.
I hate to say this, but I have to agree with Mr M. This must be a first. I wasn't happy about Barnet either but this lot have always worried me since that embarrassing first encounter.I think we will do it today because realistically, we are a better side than pretty much everybody else in this league. We could cave in having not recovered from finishing second but I think we'll be okay - on this one at least. Wembley may be different. 2-1 Pies.
