Tranmere have announced that in the event of a draw on saturday we will go to a replay. Dissapointed by this, both us and Barrow are pushing to get out this league and could do without.

Can only assume we wanted to settle it on the day (like previous rounds) but Barrow wanted the chance to take us back to Holker street. Cant blame them having already beaten us in the FA cup there this season.

Annoyingly will mean the replay will be played Tuesday 28th when we're scheduled to play Forest Green in the league. We have already had to reschedule a number of league games this season due to cups.

We already have to travel up to Barrow in two weeks for a league game (Tuesday 7th March) two potential trips to Barrow in a fortnight, yippy!

Incidently if we get through it's worth noting two more league games get postponed;

Tranmere P-P Dover 11th March
Torquay P-P Tranmere 18th March
I've booked on the coach for Tuesday so it better be game on :mad:

Looking like a sell out at Dulwich tomorrow, rumours are they've only come to see the Silkmen.

Got a feeling we could be on the end of an upset tomorrow, hopefully we can start well and match their levels of excitement though and safely get through to the semis.

What are the other ties tomorrow?

Great fans at Dulwich, we played there last season. It'll be an enjoyable day come what may.

Our game's in Birkenhead rather than Barrow. After losing Tollit for the season and Dunn for 6 weeks, I think Mellon will rest a few key players for the league matches ahead, so would be surprised to see Andy Cook start for example. Not making any predictions on the result

Hard to say what our starting line-up will be, but it'll be whatever Cox considers to be full-strength. I can see Effiong and Bennett starting up-front together for the first time, with Jack Thomas from Mansfield keeping his place in midfield.
Not going, but wouldn't be surprised with a 1-0 win for us.

This is a game we def need to lose.its looking bad at bottom and don't need distraction and certainly don't need 2 games in March postponing.
Not a clue why Lincoln are still in,even if resting players they don't need any more postponements either.

With a potential Wembley appearance so close on the horizon I would normally want us to play a full strength side. Now we have other priorities and fighting on three fronts still, it wouldn't be the end of the world if we lost at BW. Hope and expect DC to rotate the squad, a draw would be bad as that would postpone league matches, a win would increase the number of games by at least 2!

We've been playing our squad players in it and resting our main players, worked well so far.

When you get to the quarter finals then play your reserves..

All eyes on FGR Tuesday I guess.

You've already won the league, and you're not going to win the FA Cup. Why not go for it?

No Woodyard, Rhead, Waterfall, Raggett or Arnold for us.

Farman, Long, Howe, McCombe, Habergham, Ward, Wood, Knott, Hawkridge, Whitehouse, Muldoon

Subs - Walker, Power, Ginnelly, Southwell, Marriott. A nice mix of a GK coach, two midfielders and two strikers. :lol:

Norwood and Cook rested, Rovers lining up in a 343 or 3412 with both full-backs deployed as wing-backs. It will be interesting to see how it works out.

Barrow 1-0 up. Doesn't sound like we're up for this one in the slightest.

Couldn't tell from my viewpoint who was at fault for the injury to Kirby. Anderton from doing nothing initially after the challenge to then going down did look a tad suspicious. Disappointing that some Barrow fans were jeering, given it was obviously a bad injury.
Barrow slightly have the edge and there have been some odd decisions from the referee

Two great strikes by Summerfield and then it felt like the players had decided we'd already won. Not to take anything away from Dulwich who have been excellent, best footballing performance I've seen this year and made it look like we were the team two leagues below.
