So the FA Cup proper kicks off starting with the draw at 7pm tomorrow. As usual there will be a few people wondering what the fuck a 'Cray Valley Paper Mills' or 'Concord Rangers' or 'Hartlepool United' is. Basically all the plucky pub teams who've made it through to join us football league...

Loads of ex-players coming back, happy hour and a half £1.30 a pint, kids go free, special merch on sale, 1st v 3rd, two quality footballing sides. Looking forward to this one.

So it's a case of master v apprentice in a this one, as Cooper goes up against his former captain at Kettering. We're a bit stretched on the injury front, but the good thing is Thomas and Shephard should be fit which is a major boost. Sheps in particular is absolutely key. Mansfield are...

So THE big game of the weekend pits the tinpot moneybags upstarts against, erm us. :whistle: Apparently they are quite shit, but on paper have a decent team and manager so will probably come good just in time for tomorrow. After our worst performance of the season last week, we can only improve...

Gonna resist all the hilarious Quorn v Burger King jokes.... Anyway should be a routine 3 points on paper, but probably wont be cos we often mess up against struggling sides we should beat, especially what with them having just changed managers. Plus Kurtis Guthrie will probably score...

First derby of the season, always a tough game against these. Expect they'll bring a big following as usual, so should be good. Both teams gave Premier League sides a decent game so should come in confident, they've strengthened well with their cup money and look a big strong unit, so will be...

Let's stop this one thread rebellion please. Should be a decent game this, pretty sure Bradford will attack us which might give us a bit more room to play for once. Either that or we'll defend like we did on Tuesday and get battered. Expect our players will be well up for this, I'd expect ths...

Thought I'd start this seeing as no fucker has bothered up till this point, clearly both sets of fans on here are excited about the new season... Lots of new players on both sides, plus a manager who's never managed over here before, so no idea how this will go. Shouldn't be too much of a...

I see that reports of racist abuse in English football rose by 43% last season. Can't really understand why. Has there genuinely been an increase in racist morons in stadiums again or is it just being reported more? Personally I haven't witnessed any at football in quite a while, so wouldn't...

Anyone else get annoyed how unoriginal most fans are these days. Seems every decent chant gets copied by everyone and their dog. Whether it be things like the Dimi Payet chant, the Will Grigg one, the on our way one or that Allez allez allez one that every fucker is copying and making out...

What could have been a massive game for us if we'd held on at Crewe is now an exercise in not getting any injuries or suspensions ahead of the playoffs. Expect us to rest quite a few, certainly Cooper gave that impression in his press conference yesterday which is good news for the Grecians...

Win here and we pretty much guarantee playoffs, and maybe stay in with an outside chance of autos. Be interesting to see if we make many changes, Williams might be out which is a blow, can see Grubb starting hopefully he can produce the kind of performance he did at home to Cambridge last...

Getting to the crunch now, both teams need points for different reasons so should be a tense game. What with us being shit at home we need to keep winning away, and I'd back us to do that here given Crawley's form. The new flag dedicated to Trev should get it's first outing, hopefully brings...

Big game for both teams this, Vale obviously need another couple of wins to get safe and we're in a tight battle for the playoffs. This game marks the first one for us since the sad loss of former owner and club legend Trevor Horsley, who died on Monday aged just 63. The man who most consider...

So another clash with our old Conference rivals and maybe just maybe a chance for Cooper to finally put one over the Cowleys after losing 5 out of 5. Unusually it's Cowley looking a bit rattled in the pre-match build up as he's apparently starting to get a bit of stick from the more deluded...

Big game this, win and we put ourselves right in the mix, whereas Mansfield can open up a gap on 4th and put Lincoln under pressure with a win. Both sides have strengthened in Jan so should be a good game. Pitch has been covered so should be ok, gonna be a bit cold though. Special offer...

Hopefully this will be a decent game, Crewe are usually a decent footballing side so should be a good watch, their away record isn't great but neither is our home one so tough to call. Not likely to be wet this time so no need for Crewe to launch a take of the North Stand this time.

So after our injury time comeback at Yeovil we're back at TNL where we rarely score or win. Mansfield are clearly a good side who are tough to beat and will know how to stop us. We're pretty solid and confident after last week though so can see this being another draw probably 0-0. Flitcroft...

10th v 3rd, but if we win we go above Colchester, shows how tight the league is I suppose. Having actually scored for the first time in ages lastSaturday I'm hoping that we remember exactly what we did in that game and do it again tonight. It's a simple game. It's also probably gonna be a bit wet.

Much like Carver, we are seriously lacking penetration and our form is suffering because of it. We keep dominating possession but without an end product it means fuck all, losing Doidge so late is starting to hurt. Unless that changes we're gonna keep sliding, Grubb might be back but tbh I can't...
