Saturday, September 3rd

[Silver Stone]

Here we go:

Aldershot v Tranmere
Barrow v Bromley
Chester v Forest Green
Dagenham v Boreham Wood
Eastleigh v North Ferriby
Gateshead v Sutton
Guiseley v Braintree
Macclesfield v Woking
Maidstone v Wrexham
Southport v Dover
York v Solihull
Torquay v Lincoln (17:30 ko)
​

A little bit of revenge for losing at the Racecourse in the FA Cup a few years back would be lovely.

 

[Silver Stone]

A note for any Wrexham fans driving down: the M20 will be closed all weekend, so allow yourself some extra time and expect diversions here there and everywhere. You're better off taking the train for this one.

 

[Luke Imp]

Late KO for us. Good for the fans getting down there, not good for the players travelling back!

We're travelling down to Bristol tomorrow morning and training at Bristol City in the afternoon. The Cowleys are mates with the Johnsons, or something.

We'll probably see a striker come in on loan to replace Margetts and Muldoon has missed the last couple of games through injury but I'm not sure where he's at with that. Even with Margetts leaving, we can still be un-changed from the Gateshead game, which was the better performance of the two bank holiday games.

We know all about that. Other half of the bridge being taken down?

Yep, at least there's a heads up this time rather than just being stuck with it like you folks were!

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

I'm off to Aldershot, have a feeling our long unbeaten away record is going to finally end though. Just a feeling. 1-0 Shots

 

[Sparrow]

We'll do Macclesfield.

 

[Master D]

I honestly don't remember us playing Maidstone in the cup. [/billybigbollocks]

Though I see from watching highlights from last weekend that you guys are STILL using those tiny goalposts. They are not far off 5-a-side height ones to be honest.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

I'm going to Aldershot on the back of Tranmere's unbeaten start to the season, I wouldn't of bothered otherwise. This will be my first visit to the Recreation ground since September 1986 when Tranmere came away with a 2-0 victory. Hoping for more of the same, but wouldn't be surprised if the Shots burst our bubble. Fenelon and Rendell up top look as good as any in this league, so McNulty will have to be on his game again!

 

[Murphy]

Going for 4 straight home clean sheets (dating back from last season) for the first time since 1999. I think we can do it.

 

[East Bank Shot]

This is definitely our toughest game so far but we've been unstoppable at home and haven't conceded a goal. Should be a good game, I reckon 1-1 with McClure getting our goal.
Tranmere fans, how many do you reckon you'll bring?

 

[Mark kavanagh]

350-450 i would say mate

 

[Chris FGR]

Chester seem pretty inconsistent, going from the highs of beating Daggers 3-0 and thrashing Sutton, to somehow managing to lose to Woking.

Given that they could turn up and smash us. They'll have to play like Real Madrid though, cos we're getting damn good.

We're starting to get going, not at our best yet but it's good to be scoring 4's and 5's when not quite fully gelled. At some point we're going to really click and put 10 past someone.

No non-league away day can ever be considered glory supporting

It's those couple of handsome home wins has me slightly nervous despite our recent signs of a plan coming together. I'll be on the coach again, wonder what traffic delights we'll get? Balloon lands on the M6 due to the forecasted torrential rain is my outside bet.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Absolutely cannot wait for tomorrow away to Salford!

I know Salford and the Class of 92 arent popular on here but I hope they are there tomorrow with it being Non League Day. Would be awesome to meet them.

As for the game well... honestly no idea what could happen. I expected to get trounced at Darlington but we hung in before they couldnt cope with us on the counter. It will have to be a similar story tomorrow if we to get anything from the game but I see another high scoring defeat. Not sure what the powers at be want at the moment.

lol !

Tranmere fans, how many do you reckon you'll bring?

Don't think we'll take as many as Mark said, more like 2-300 with it being such a long trip, and the fact that so many went to Southport on Monday. Most will live down sarf anyhow.

 

[CrazyImp]

I think it's another case for us of looking at the two sides on paper again, and ultimately coming to the conclusion that we ought to be winning if we want to achieve our goal this season. (Top 5) However, respect for Torquay's start at Plainmoor so far.

This is more pertinent when you consider that we have Tranmere away the following week.

 

[JaredSUFC]

If we do score tomorrow it'll be interesting to see who it is, as we've had 9 different goal scorers already having only scored 10 thus far

 

[fifaking]

Looking forward to a first trip to The Gallagher, be a decent crowd as well.

Solid enough start for Maidstone, only seen the York match on TV.

Will probably be low scoring knowing us, presume Mills will stick with the same team that beat York on Monday.

 

[Bluandwite]

God knows which Chester will turn up tomorrow, but Forest Green are another bogey side for us, can't remember us beating them to be honest.

Horwood is suspended for us after picking up his fifth booking already, leaving us more than likely having to put up with Hunt at left back yet again.

 

[Boz]

One of those weekends with no real stand-out games. Rovers despite the good start haven't looked that convincing ,throw in Brabin's manager of the month award, could easily see our unbeaten away run trumped by the Shots good home form. I'd agree with ~300 SWA making the trip.

everyone down here is looking forward to your visit too. the cup match up at yours a couple of seasons back is still talked of frequently. how many do you think you'll bring? the terrace that's been set aside for you holds around 500, plus you'll get some seats. should be a good match, though wouldn't like to predict how it'll go. we'll give you a game though, whatever happens. if driving i'd suggest leaving a bit early, as mentioned before the m20 will be closed and traffic could be a nightmare. anyway, safe journey down, looking forward to seeing you all.

Won't be anywhere near 500 fans after our poor start (in terms of performance).. We have a decent enough following around London, be getting the train from Victoria living down south myself.
Not sure how much the M20 situation will put off fans living back in Wrexham, reckon between 2-300 reds

This looks like a pisspoor WFC side in the grand scheme of things but I'd like raise a Point of Order: also I have no doubt at all that we'll manage to lose at Macc for what seems like the twentieth time in a row, BUT...
The start of the season saw us lose our first three home games. Lincoln, FGR & Dagnum. That's three of most people's bets for top five this year. Nobody else on a tiny budget has had that tough a start. We've actually thrown away leads in our away games, because we're as brittle as Ismail Yakubu's knees. We've had zero confidence because it's a young side with no leaders.

Now we've won a game and maybe, just maybe, we'll start to show the positive potential (yes we have had glimpses) before we've conceded three goals in ten minutes- just for a change.

But for all that I accept it's written in the stars that Macc will somehow manage to beat us yet again, the spawny dirty bastards.

Your away unbeaten run would mean us winning at home for the 4th time in a row, which is not (and has never been) the Aldershot way.

I'd take a point tomorrow but think Tranmere will scrape a win.

 

[Bendubz]

Couldn't get to the FA Cup match a couple of years back, so I'm really looking forward to this one, was the first one I looked for when the fixture list was announced.

 

[Bigluke]

Some fascinating matches today, non more so than at the EBB where I really fancy the Shots, to de-rail, albeit temporarily the Rovers relentless march to the top.
Now Eastleigh are off and running can also see them recording the biggest score of the day against NF, the worse National side I have seen in many a year, and have a sneaky leaning towards FGR coming unstuck, if not beaten at Chester.

Bottom line is that perhaps it's not a weekend for the fixed odds coupons?

Equally fascinating for us. perhaps even more so than the result, is the team selection at Southport. The 'Agatha Christie' style mystery surrounding will he wont he play Miller and Moore, a conundrum that has riled even the biggest of club sycophants, has become almost as intriguing and probably harder to predict than the result. My view is he will play them both, but in doing so compound our frustration further by playing the former as a winger and have him spending as much time in Southport's half as he does ours, (and to ensure nepotism rules and his son keeps his place who knows, even have Moore as the other wing? ) which all in all would then turn a more than winnable ninety minutes into a draw if we're bloody lucky
