RefWatch; Ref for Sutton game (played two PSF at Ganders Green & lost both; 4-0 in our very first game as AFC on 10th July '02, and 1-0 a year later) is Keith Stroud, 47, a business manager from Bournemouth. Huge Luton fan, poor bastard. FL ref since '04, and was a Premier League ref for 3 years ('07 to '10) before being replaced by Kevin Friend, and mainly does Championship games now. Absolutely card crazy and blows like his mum; in 26 games this season he's given a whopping 123 Y & a massive 10 R (over 3 times the average). Every season he's consistently in the top 3 for Y, R & fouls given. Great.

Reffed Wombles 5 times, some of them quite memorable games; the 2-0 home loss to Stevenage in the FA Cup 2nd round in Nov '10 (gave our Ed Harris a red); 3-2 home loss to Gas in our first game back in the FL in Aug '11 (5Y); 1-0 away loss to Oxford in Mar '12 (1Y); 2-1 away win over Pilgrims in Oct '12; & the Charlie Strutton inspired 4-3 win over (soon to be Conference North) York in Nov '12 (5Y, 1R for them). Never reffed the Amber & Chocolates. Hates the scum. Reffed them once against Southampton & they lost 6-0. Good. Hates them.

AnagramWatch; Keith Stroud = Die, Hot Turks. Dike Trust Ho.
KettleWatch; AWOL.

We have got Huddersfield AWAY - considering our away performances against L1 opposition have been beyond diabolical this season I will be happy with anything less than a 5-0 defeat. No Jones, our loanees that are back are all cup tied so only Cicilia available unless we sign someone quick so zero chance of scoring.

Hammered by Wimbledon 4-0 who've otherwise been getting beat lately, Shrewsbury and Oldham both could of beat us, Alnwick made a wonder save to prevent Oldham doing us over and they cant score for toffee at their own place so envisage Huddersfield's attack possibly hitting us for double figures potentially.

Adding on top of this its a really shit draw!

I just hope we take a good following to huddesfield which i think we will and huddesfield fans support the game too. Basically if theres say 5000 or 6000 there then its a out and nowt game where your out the cup and made no money from it.

Heard 14 coaches are going or something like that. Tenner a ticket was sensible pricing.

An 8-0 drubbing for us. Mccann played a negative, dull formation at home to Coventry, one of the worst defences in the league. God knows what he's going to do at Chelsea.

I heard 11 coaches were going. Just looked up that when we played them in the cup in 2008 the crowd was 6946 with 1033 vale fans. That was a first round tie so id like to think both teams would have more there many 8000 home fans and 1500 from vale.

The prospect of a trip to Barrow-in-Furness is all that is getting me through this week at work. I love the novelty of a trip to a non league team we've not played in decades. This has the potential to be a massively embarrassing banana skin (as was Maidstone away) but if we play to our potential we *should* win comfortably. 1-3 Dale win, through to R4 and draw Eastleigh away.

We'll likely get a kicking from a Bournemouth side angry at fucking up against Arsenal the other day.

We will be concentrating on the league after today. We have zero chance of scoring, so I just hope we keep the score down.

At least we lasted longer than West Ham! Small mercies and all.

My ex-missus supports West Crap and she phoned me at half time when they were 'only' 3 down. Put it this way, her language would make Frankie Boyle blush!!

We have a good chance of getting a draw today, Bristol City in a bad run, 6 straight losses and Fleetwood in a 10 match unbeaten run, know what your thinking somethings got to give. Chairman laid on a terrific offer £20 for coach travel including ticket so there should be some good support 1-1 and Fleetwood to win the replay !

4-0, disappointed that they've hit four as we were in it at 1-0 until the last 15-20 minutes.

Considering our lack of availabile players and two big players going off injured in Streete and Alnwick I guess it was inevitable.

Now to focus on staying up!

Have to thank Eddie Howe for basically throwing the game, but you can only beat what's in front of you and boy did we ever.

Fine result at Bristol today, for the first time ever Fleetwood go into the 4th round draw. Everything to play for and dream of getting a 'big fish' for either team at home

Well done to everyone who got through to the 4th round. I'll take some consolation that the league results were in our favour today.

Good result today beating Rotherham 3-2 and Chris Maguire missed a penalty. Sounded a good game.

We made the 4th round draw for first time ever after a creditable draw at Bristol City.

We will be underdogs for the replay given they have far superior players but our strength is Rosler who is arguably the best manager in L1 and arguably superior to Lee Johnson.

Thought we were excellent yesterday, much the better side in the second half, we just lacked an end product. With any luck, Le Fondre can fill that gap.
Nothing to fear anyway going into the replay!

6000 fans and we couldn't muster up a song, utterly embarassingly tinpot. Too many stayaways at the match and the atmosphere was appalling. Left after an hour. If that's premiership football they can shove it up their arse.

Anyway, tonked 4-1 by Chelsea. Willians boots must be made from unicorn hair because his feet were phenomenal, it was worth the entrance fee just for that alone. Forrester and Tafazolli both excellent. If the chairman wants big money it should be Forrester he should be looking at, not Lopes. Lopes was completely out of his depth, never have I seen a player so overrated. If Mccann insists on playing him every week it will be his downfall.

Train/buses there and back were a nightmare. Had to get back to Liverpool Street for work tomorrow so left early to beat the tube strike. Meanwhile everyone else is falling over drunk at Kings Cross, bit of a damp squib of a day.

Hopefully the 200 of us that go to Bury will make a better atmosphere and have a better day.

We were poor against Sutton. Hopefully we won't be so bad in the replay. 5-0 anyone?
