One possible way of getting out of the competition.
I now think for the sake of the club we have to win against Chelmsford. If we lose, then a lot of people will say this ranks as one of the lowest points in recent history - comparable with losses against Tonbridge (FAT), Lewes (league), Droylsden (league). The team would probably get booed off, the manager booed off. A win would boost the team's confidence, and with a mixture of squad players as well they all get more match practice.
Also Mangan at Wrexham could be a dangerous first or second game to face a new striker. Strangely the official site has the rearranged game for 29 June, right in the middle of the World Cup.

Histon have been thrown out of the Trophy. I think, but can't quite work it out, that this has a knock-on effect on our game against Cambridge on 2 Feb (or maybe that's if they draw against Salisbury).
Edit: Just sussed it - if Cambridge beat Eastbourne in their FAT replay, they'll play the winners of Maidstone/Salisbury on 2 Feb. C'mon Eastbourne!

Field an unregistered player on Saturday......play very well, win by several goals, no injuries, no bookings, no sendings off then report ourselves for fielding an unregistered player.
We get chucked out of The Trophy, no fine, no wrist-slap then concentrate on winning the league.................GOT IT?

And on Friday and Saturday it’s frost alert again so I’ve given up working out when Cambridge home and/or away is going to be played. At this rate we’ll end up watching the games from here.
Stop, start, stop, start. Poxy League, Poxy Cup.
p.s. by my reckoning we still have enough pies left over from Boxing Day to cater for just under 3,000 people.

Re:
If there is a result in our game (assuming it's on!) and a draw between Salisbury & Maidstone, then we play Cambridge. If any of that does not happen, we don't play Cambridge."Hog" wrote:So have we now got another blank Tuesday next week (assuming we don't have a replay against Chelmsford)?

Just thought that some people may have had a change of heart over the last three seasons.
Ah well, next year we can start a poll along the lines of "Should we have a serious tilt at winning the JP Trophy?" (he said, thinking positively)
