F.A. Cup 2020/21 Season

That was possibly the only thing she got right ?

What did she do wrong?

A 3-0 win on a misty day at Roots in Nov 73 - oh what a world away it seems now. And every one of our team that day, bar the late Brian Albeson, is in SUEPA.
I can handle not going to the league games, but the cup (despite what clubs think of it now) is special, and it just seems SO wrong we can't go
That day in '73 goals from Terry Johnson, Brian Albeson and Stuart Brace saw us through. Me and me Dad (RIP) were in the 6,937 crowd that day, full of hope and expectation.
After a win v Reading at Roots in Round 2 we went out to Posh in Round 3, leaving the path clear for Liverpool to lift the cup.
Happy days

Note the KO time for the next games. If i remember right during the dark days of the 70's with strikes and power shortages. Times were bought forward to avoid having to use floodlights.

I'm going for a big upset and us to go through to the next round for a glamour tie at Grimsby.

I’d be very surprised if we don’t beat these, it’ll be a all time low if we don’t win this, could be a TV game also.

I make them favourites.

I reckon this draw is just what we need and should win. I'm actually looking forward to it.

What did she do wrong?

Gave out the wrong team names a few times after Grant Holt had drawn a ball.

He also drew Bolton out as a first ball and then said the team before that had been drawn would play Bolton

Just looked at the Conf. table Borehamwood down near the bottom,Dover below them. We all know how well that went!

What did she do wrong?

When the numbers were pulled out of the bag she stated the wrong team a number of times, then realising her mistake corrected on each occasion.

Clubs need to treat this competition very seriously this season, there is decent prize money for the winners of each round, a decent cup run could make a huge financial difference, I fancy a Col U V Southend final! https://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/prize-fund

We were playing terribly then. We aren't actually playing badly at the moment. I think we will win without to much of a scare

That was then though and this is now. We're on a roll and the win will be ours, woo hoo.

They've only played 4 games, won 1, drawn 1 lost 2. It's a mid table start but they made the playoffs last year and you'd fancy them to improve.

Exactly my point, Jai. They are a better team than Dover which is concerning.

Your defenders will have to be alert at free kicks and corners, they have that big lump (Ex Lincoln) Matt Rhead playing for them up front.

Oh dear! We are not too good dealing with big lumps at the moment.

If the game does take place glad I cant go.In view of an upset bound to be on TV

Typical of my luck. Boreham Wood (interestingly the town itself is called Borehamwood, i.e. 1 word) are my most local team. Their ground is about a 5 minute drive from where I live. I've wanted us to draw them in the cup for years, and when we do I can't even go and watch!

I might pop down to welcome the team and then go home to maybe watch it on TV. It's a prime match for what they would consider an upset. I personally would consider it an upset if we won.

I’d be very surprised if we don’t beat these, it’ll be a all time low if we don’t win this, could be a TV game also.

I would say losing to Aylesbury was pretty bad...and Kingstonian...and Dover...there's plenty to choose from.

After Exeter away (FA cup)76,when i got attacked,head kicked in and put in hospital at Paddington Station....the next worse moment for me was Boreham Wood at home..the first time i saw enemy fans in our North Bank. Im still having therapy sessions over it...

To back that up, you might want to scroll back to my post (#117).
Wood have a strange history of thug fans.

Yes they do have a reputation for trouble, I think Watford fans swell their numbers for cup games and local derbies such as when they play Bishops Stortford.

I’ve just had a look at him online, he’s 36, but the guy looks like he’s built like a tank.
We could do with a massive target man like that up front.
