It was touch and go to get home just in time to write the Match Thread, having driven for more than an hour from Padstow in horrible conditions in the pissing Cornish rain. But I made it. Now I'm trusting that Johnny Jackson and co are just as fired up to make it through to meet the Big Boys in the next round.
BANANA SKIN ALERT! Most of us still shudder remembering that wretched Northwich Victoria cup tie. We need to well heed the fact that The Heeds will be well up for this one. To some, Charlton Athletic is a big scalp.
Good news that Ryan Inniss is out training on grass - but for him and Jason Pearce, this match comes too soon. Leeeeeeko is back in the squad but lacking match fitness, but I'm expecting a strong line up, augmented by a couple of fringe players/prospects.
Martin Tyler talking about how giving Jackson the job might not work out because appointing a fan favourite hadn't worked at Man Utd recently... it's like these commentary teams know nothing about our club.

The benefit of VP? No Sam Twatterface, no Jerpain Twatford.
Beckford is nailed-on perma-disappointment.
Good grief
