Welcome back. You're right and regarding selling Benyon, Ellis and O'Kane, I think the game being on 29th January and the draw on 30th January will help us. We'll probably wait to see the outcome of the game and the draw to decide whether we'll sell. I'd hope so anyway. If we do lose to Crawley we'll be in for a horrible few days until the end of the window.brucie wrote:Having watched the win over Derby I would say that we are in for a very hard game. They thoroughly deserved their win although for a championship side Derby were abyssmal.
Certainly the after match reaction seemed to be that they were going to reach the fifth round, and if anything that sort of over confidence may count in our favour, not to mention Crawley have a couple of midweek matches as well before the Cup Tie.
Clearly what sort of chance we have may depend ultimately on what sort of side we get on the pitch. If we sell the likes of Benyon and Ellis then there is no chance we will win.
If we put out the side that won against Carlisle and Crewe and play well we can do it.
I thought the two Crawley Central defenders looked a bit leggy and vulnerable to forwards running into the channels - that said god knows what Clough was doing playing one striker.
I would certainly see the combination of the roadrunners Benyon and Zebroski causing massive problems for their two at the back.
Lets hope they think that they have done all the hard work by beating Swindon and Derby.
Yeah - I remember the first time when Stevenage played Newcastle and Stevenage (non league at the time) came out with all sorts on nonsence. Public opinion soon changed and instead of public support there was public disapproval. Everyone got behind Newcastle and hoped they got beat.Southampton Gull wrote:Let them have their "delusions of grandeur", we just need to show some class and not resort to their level.
They will give us a tough game of that I'm sure, but with the results we've had at times there is no need to feel worried, we just need to make sure we're focussed and play to our own strengths, unlike Derby who played right into their hands.

Matt.
ahh Inns you seem to have lost your sense of humour!! the quotes you have posted are a tad bit unfair, we have also warned our "pikeys" of over confidence, but you seemed to omit them from your post!, anyway im here in peace from crawley, and really looking forward to our game, let the Banter commense!Richinns wrote:One of the many similar views from their pikey forum!
Bless you for your interest Mr Inns. Of course I realise that fans of your club have no need to read the Conference forum, until next season that is, but if you had a look you would see my explanation of the club's financial position, which I shall repeat briefly for your benefit.
The club is blessed with investment from our new owner, Sheikh Ibn Al Promotion. If we need any increase in funds, he just increases the quota of barrels being filled at his oilfields. If he ever becomes disinterested he has several football mad heirs who would contine to be interested and would takeover his position.
So you see you really shouldn't be concerned about us. We certainly look forward to our visit to you in the Cup as it is unlikely we will be playing you next season when we are in the Football League because your selling of Crawley reject Benyon and a few others will lead to a downturn in your form and your defeat by us will cause such turmoil at your club that we will pass you on our way up while you enjoy a return to the Conference.
I hope this brief explanation clarifies the situation and reassures you that there really is no cause for concern.
Bless you for your interest.
BTW can you get someone at your club to let us know as soon as possible whether the date will be moved to accomodate tv coverage.
Thank you in advance, and please enjoy a good season until we spoil things for you
Here is another one:
Of course they are worried. We're better than them, and our away form is good. Not sure what sort of season they are having, but I genuinely feel they are there for the taking.
And it goes on!:
We've beaten Swindon away Derby at home. Do you think that little old Torquay hold any fear for us?
The dillusions of granduar is amazing!
