Match Day Thread Up North For The Cup Shaymen v Chairboys 8th November

Naughty Naughty Very Naughty! no that was the Shamen! who probably have never played at the Shay! but neither have the Chairboys in fact this is the first time we have played the team who we replaced in the Football League twenty two and a half years ago, altough the Shaymen did return to the to the League five years later, but for only three years before they became the first team to be relegated from the Football League twice and after loosing the play-off final 5 years later they fell into hard times and were relegated three divisions in 2007 they have since regained their place in the fifth tear of English football where they currently sit bottom.
Gaz is unlikely to make too many changes as he will save that for the friendly against against Leeds so last weeks winning line up is likely to start but Anthony Stewart makes a early return to the squad.
I expect most of us will be keeping up with this FA Cup game on the BBC hoping to get into the second round and the start of a cup run COYB

 

I'm trusting Gareth to instil the right mentality into the players to ensure an unconditional place in the 2nd Round draw. Come on you Blues

 

What surprises me is how teams get caught out Exeter last year Notts County this from teams way below them. Hopefully not us.

 

It's a one off match and one team goes in with a greater desire to win. If they get lucky and score it gives them more confidence and it's then up to the higher league team to show not just their class but, more importantly, their grit and togetherness. The mentality of the 2 teams is

• it's a cup final
• it's a stroll in the park

No guessing which is which.

We have to go into this game with the mentality of the underdogs and give it all; otherwise we will be dumped out also.

 

1 nil to the blues

 

2 nil to the blues and rovers losing to Chesham

 

3 nil max

 

Just warming up 4 the goons v spurs .col u away in the next round for wycombe and a spurs win would make my day

 

Well done the oranges. 4-0. Chesham in the next round would be good.

 

Well done Wycombe a good performance Gareth looks to have them back on track. Well done Chesham.

 

Phew that was close! And well done Chesham the result of the round for me as they were away as well. None of my Rovers mates in Wells are answering their phones

 

I lived just outside Chesham (Bellingdon) for 22 years so very pleased to see them through

 

And Maidenhead drew 1-1 at Port Vale.

 

Chesham or maybe Maidenhead at home or maybe Eastleigh as it is on the other side of the Solent to me

 

Great win for wycombe, pleased to see the team scoring throughout. Also, chesham united showing the magic of the FA cup is well and truly alive

 

Great win in what was a **** day otherwise (family problems)

 

Sorry to hear that Guy
