Cray Valley replay - TONIGHT 7:45pm - important info for away fans p30

Apples integrity and nouse will be revealed for all to see with his selections for this one
There isn't a meaningful match for another 9 days until Carlisle away.
Dobbo, Leaburn, May and CBT are critical to winning matches so can be protected and selected on the bench.  Miles has already had his season curtailed by a non-league clogger 'making his point'.  Dobbo doesn't need any more bookings.
Kirk voted with his feet and effectively resigned on Saturday.

AMB
TWatson, Hector, Jones, Edun -  this lot all badly need the practice
L Watson, Anderson, McGrandles, Fraser (big audition for these two)
Tyreece, Tedic, 

bench: Walker, Thomas, Asiimwe, Ness, Dobbo, Leaburn, May and CBT is Chem Campbell fit?

Any of the starting XI not giving their all have to get the hook as early as their attitude is apparent - none of this waiting til halftime or worse still for an hour before doing the necessary
With the gulf between the two setups, all talk of formation or playing out of position e.g. "is Tedic a no.9?" is precisely the sort of lily livered bullshit that permits Saturday's failure.  There are no excuses. The match has to resemble the bare fact that this is fulltime pros against division 8 part-timers.
There's something like 120 places between the two teams in the league that's fully 5 divisions.  Victory by a goal or two would be insufficient.  The margin has to be 4 at least.  Accepting anything less disrespects the opposition.  CVPM train once or twice per week.  Charlton train at least 5 sessions per week.  Simply the difference in athleticism has to make this a mismatch.
Saturday's shabby humiliation was unacceptable on any level, any glimmer of anything similar again will be emblematic of grave failings with the squad and team management.
Away at Gillingham's dump is no reward obviously.  But none is needed.  Basic professionalism demands that the gulf between the two sides will be clear for all to see.

Not sure if they've all been called up but AMB, Thomas, Anderson and Hector might all be away on international duty.

Disagree we truly need to protect anyone but I get the sentiment.

This should be a full strength team that attempts to win by a country mile - lesson learnt from last week is to try harder. Wrap it up by half time and then 'rest' or 'protect' any we need to.

We have nothing much else to play for (realistically).

I’m in Dusseldorf next week, any ideas how I can view the match out there? Don’t think I player will work out there? Thanks

What time do the coaches leave, time and cost ??

Make all fans travel from Larkfield by coach, that would keep the demand for tickets down 

It's already left.

Can't agree with all the moaning. Full credit for wanting to play at home which gives them the best chance of winning and will be a memorable night for their club

This.

A replay at their ground is the romance of the cup. There will be fans up trees, peeking over fences, a local not giving a shit because they have a swimming pool in their garden. I'm glad that the days of clubs moving it to their nearest league club for financial gain are gone. Maybe it's lost its magic but that law keeps the cup special.

It will with a vpn.

Nice one, I will look into that 

I'm sure the supporters coach will arrive at the Cray Wanderers ground by 7pm. Then everyone will stand around for 2 hours wondering why nothing is happening 

How many names has this ground got?! Middle park, Badgers, Artic. 
Wonder which one the Express will use in their headline "Battle of..." 
Quotes from Sue Braverman on how those on the dingy's crossing the quaggy will be sent to Rwanda and the failure of the MET to stop the hordes of fans from storming the two turnstiles chucking big Mac wrappers at the police as they go in. 

Well this little FA Cup tie has again laid bare, the peculiarities and foibles of the CL community...

We haven't even go round to the sloping pitch bit yet.

And yes it has a considerable slope.

yeah well, people and especially the players need to suck it up

It would keep the attendance down and make it Cray VPM fans only.

Can we call this Operation Cray Valley?

They are due to play a cup game tomorrow night and a league game on Saturday, on that pitch with the weather forecast i wonder if any of these games get called off.
