Cup Thread 2020/21

[Imp in Branston]

Salford as it would be guaranteed to be on the TV for the ex Man U wankers love in.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

We’ll get Oldham

 

[Luke Imp]

We'll probably get Ipswich again for the third time in five years.

Can't be too many times, if any, we've gone into an FA Cup draw as the highest ranked side.

 

[Fedora Dale]

One of the non-league clubs we've not played before. Banbury will do...

 

[Crewelad87]

Ideally a game that would get us on tv, so someone like Skemersdale or Marine away would be nice.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

No fans allowed at any of the FA Cup 1st Round games, irrespective of the clubs involved...

 

[Chris FGR]

Last 4 balls were us, Lincoln, Banbury and Canvey. Of course it's fucking Lincoln away for us. Bye bye Cup run.

At least they seem to pass it a bit these days, after rough housing 6 straight wins against our total football, so at least we shouldn't pick up too many injuries. Cooper will be desperate to finally put one over them, but doubt he will.

Hello old friends.

 

[David Curries Mullet]

Swindon away. Hopefully you'll take it less seriously than a league game, although money for winning is important across the board nowadays. We are very much a footballing team, so should be a good game i would think. How's your streaming service? Worth the money?

We are an absolute shambles in cup tournaments so fully expect a shock. Interesting to hear that you play football so that should in theory play to our strengths.

It’s £10 to stream the game on Ifollow, for me it works fine, only one camera with a couple of decent commentators with slow and ponderous replays. Whether it’s worth the money or not is probably a personal opinion, for me I think it’s fine, but for someone from the North who is used to non-league football it might seem a bit on the pricy side.

Sorry i did try to write that without coming across as a total c u next Tuesday but I may not have managed it.

 

[Indian Dan]

Wellens’ cup record with us. Played 8, lost 8.

 

[David Curries Mullet]

Be a real treat to see a proper stream, up here we have to make do with a bloke on an Etch-a-Sketch on Saturday afternoons normally. Glad to hear you're not that great in the cup. Will definitely be goals - we are all about the attack.

To be fair, our streaming service is as good as you can get - very professional, numerous angles, and replays. Costs £7.99. Check out highlights of Saturday's game.

 

[Indian Dan]

Did you mean ‘proper stream’ or ‘proper team’?

 

[David Curries Mullet]

If true, it's been said on our Forum that you use I-Follow, and that they are not streaming Cup games, so maybe won't get to see game in any case. Unless we do it for you. And I did mean Stream - you're only Swindon after all.........

 

[Fedora Dale]

Chesterfield. Meh.

 

[Luke Imp]

Home to FGR today. We have a decent recent record against them, six wins on the spin, but we've got so many injuries and niggles at the minute that we're going to be particularly weak(er) in defence.

In that respect, the postponement of next weekends game against Gillingham due to international call-ups hasn't come at a bad time at all. The only game between now and our next league game is Man City U23's, so we've effectively got a clear two weeks for the players that need it.

And we're already through in that competition aren't we? Next week's postponement has definitely come at a good time. I've seen a lot of players quoted as around 3 weeks out within the past week, so hopefully come Accrington away in a couple of weeks we'll be in a stronger position.

 

[Crewelad87]

Expected us to make a few changes but we’ve gone full strength away at Bolton. I guess in these times the prize money is needed.

Not sure, we can't be far off. Maybe a point needed or non depending on other results?

Lots of changes for us today. No first choice CB partnership, no first choice midfield, no striker, no RB...this'll be fun!

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Away to Charlton, same line up as Tuesday.

 

[dannyc5]

Crewe missed some glorious chances yet again. Bolton should be dead and buried. If there is currently a more wasteful team in English football than us, I would be gobsmacked.

 

[Indian Dan]

No matter who we play, no matter what players we play, we’ve got an horrendous cock up every single game. Grounds, who made 2 at Plymouth that led to 2 goals, is at it again today.

 

[GFC4EVA]

Won 3-2 vs Woking after being 2 down, not a great performance but in to round 2

Managed to throw in an own goal as well.

Fucking dreadful, horrible, relegation-looking performance. Or non performance if you will.

 

[Crewelad87]

Eventually managed to score a few goals, mainly due to Bolton’s inept goal keeper. Should never have been close we were head and shoulders better, just let down by poor finishing once again. Still glad to be in the next round with some much needed prize money.

 

[Guernica]

Comfortably beat Forest Green Rovers 6-2. Nice to have a 10 day rest now.

 

[Agombar stool]

Another surrender to a non-league side. Well done Darlington but we were meek as hell.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Good game to watch, played by two good teams. You can see why Charlton are at the top end, there is real quality in their team, and I know they made 8 changes. Definitely the best side we have played against.

Please home draw against whomever is the bottom ranked team, then we’ll get some TV money.

 

[Luke Imp]

Great strike from Grant for us and a double backheel for one of Scully's.

You were pretty good, we weren't.

That being said had Bailey scored that early chance you might have been rattled and we could have been the ones going on to win 6-2. Maybe.

 

[David Curries Mullet]

Glad Swindon's cup form didn't desert them along with Wellens. Big moment for us on our way back. Should give us all a lift. Fully deserved as well. If we keep Charman, i'll be amazed.
