The FA Cup is dying on its arse, it’s a shadow of its former self.
Would personally argue all football is due to having too many matches crammed into the calendar.
Don't forget the Premier League have done their best to side-line it. e.g.FA Cup final used to be the last game of the season-now its the final round of premier league games. Oh yes then theres the money...
Looking forward to going to the game. Only a pity it's not away
Hope we play a starting XI from the same 18 or 20 players in the league squad and we really go for it.
Henderson, Deji, CBT, Davison, Morgan, Watson, Kirk, Souare should all start along with some of the starting side.
Does that mean, does anyone know, that we can then play the same team v Orient as it was our first team in the last game?
I know it'll do Henderson some good getting game time and if he doesn't then what's the point in him being here, but I actually hope that Nathan Harness gets a run out instead this Saturday.
He's done well in the EFL Trophy.
When I’ve watched Henderson in the warm ups recently he seems to have put on some pudding. Saying that I don’t recall even seeing him out warming up at h/t on Tuesday.
He was …. Have watched him for a few weeks biggest concern Is how slow he is at getting down to shots in the corners … would say 95% in warm up go past him because he just goes down in installments
Does the away team really get any gate money in this? I thought you get a bit of money for losing or winning but that's it for the away side.
Thought the FA Cup was always split 50/50... that's why 20 years ago there was a trend of little clubs switching the tie to play away. Would be surprised if, assuming we win, we don't do the decent thing and give Havant all the gate receipts today... 50k isn't much to a League One team but significant to NL South.
This site also seems to have ignored the match as we don't have a pre match thread, there will be players marks
Myself and @Sage made the decision not to cover Cup games at the start of this season, hence why there wasn't a write up for the AFC Wimbledon game prior to the League Cup, same with the EFL Trophy games.
Take 2018/19 for example, I had to write five threads talking about Doncaster - Gets very challenging, of course if anyone else wants to give Match Preview writing a go should we make the second round then they're more than welcome

that was a one off re Donny and doesn't apply now I reckon if I can spend about 4 hours per match doing the Statbank then others should manage the usual pre and post match threads

No offence but do you still work or are you retired?
As it is I've had a pain in the arse Client to deal with for the majority of the week, so with my Full-Time role changing the last couple of weeks, its even making it challenging to combine the two - So kindly dont judge others when you dont know circumstances.
I'm sure if the mods feel that I cant keep up with demands, or even @Sage they can ask me to stop

Love it.
Great marketing by the FA.
Making it exclusive to 5000 people watching in South London seems a bit retro even for dinosaurs like me.

Never have Charlton matches taken on such significance.

I'm going to listen to the audio and watch a stream of the cricket. Maybe the best we can do today. Chin up.
