A great shame we are without Andy Carroll against a team that haven’t lost too many times this season. Should be a decent crowd and hope that we can get a win but not going to be easy.

Merry Xmas to everyone.

With less than half our games played so far, it seems a bit early to definitely say we won't get into playoffs as it is to say we won't get relegated. With regard to Rashawn Scott I hope his issues are soon resolved as he was our best player a couple of months ago.
I take the point made about ...

I didn't see the game but another point in a game where we were twice in arrears.
We had a number of players missing through injury but good to see Reggie Young returning after a lengthy absence. Apparently a decent performance and first goal from new signing Stan Leech as well.

Lusala,Wison and Lawless presumably all out injured.

The manager has now confirmed that Andy Carroll will be out for a period of time with his injury. This is obviously a huge blow as he has been excellent and will be a huge loss to us.
Will have to see what formation and personnel we have out today but don't feel that confident as we now go into the ...

Does anyone know the extent of Wilson's injury and how long he is likely to be out of action?

A game with chances for both teams but as already said could have easily lost the game as well, in fact a couple of months ago would have ended in a loss for us.
It is a big concern Andy Carroll getting injured but will have to hope that not too serious.

Definitely would need a goalkeeper by then as Kai is cup tied and Howes very unlikely to be fit.
Poor young Nightingale is having a nightmare and doesn't look anything like a professional goalkeeper I'm afraid as yet.


Unfortunately agree about Nightingale as I would think his confidence level ...

I agree that unlike the previous two rounds we go into this game as underdogs so have nothing to lose. I would hope that we put out our strongest possible side and hope Howes will be fit then.

Another lower league team at home in today’s draw would be good.

Couldn't make the game but listened to last half an hour. Hanwell player sent off but with two goals late in second half we managed to complete the job in the end.

A game against a team a couple of divisions lower than us so all the pressure is on us to win the game. As in the previous round, I would expect some changes to our team selection but would still hope we can carry on our recent good form and progress to next round.

I remember going down to Reading by train for the game against them and managing to get a draw and then going to the replay at Victoria Road which I think we lost 1-0.
A huge attendance in the replay which set the ground record that day.

I thought he was very good for us and will be a decent signing for them.
