After last Saturday’s postponement, we will hopefully return to action at Roots Hall this Saturday, not in the league but in the FA Trophy. The visitors will be Hampton & Richmond a team, to the best of my knowledge, that we’ve never met competitively before.
Despite never having played them, and maybe us feeling they can be swept aside we should be careful not to underestimate them as they’re going rather well in National League South this season, sitting in 2nd place behind Yeovil who of course knocked us out of the FA Cup.
Their current form in the league is outstanding so they should come to Roots Hall full of confidence that they can turn over one of the bigger teams in non-league.
The Beavers did however need a late penalty to draw at home to Braintree on Tuesday evening.
With the takeover edging ever closer, according to Tuesday’s statement from the consortium, I’ll leave a few gaps in the poll just in case they get it over the line and the embargo lifted before the game. However that is more in hope than expectation and I would like expect Kev to be picking from the same squad as the previous game, with the added conundrum of Collin the keeper getting through 90 minutes in the Essex Senior Cup defeat against Redbridge. Whether we have to recall him or whether we’re allowed a ‘keeper on the bench remains to be seen.
So who would you choose to start in our remaining cup competition this season and what do you predict the result will be?
