FA Cup trip to Merthyr

[Lord Elpus]

So a long trip to Wales tomorrow. How many are we expecting to take to this? Many going on the coach? Many driving? (We are.) Anyone go the last time we played there, when we had Peter Barnsby, Nick Burton, Leroy Grifffiths and Craig Maskell in the side? We won 3-0 that day but I'm expecting a tighter game tomorrow.

Coach still has some spaces but is about 2rds full.

From Alan’s interview sounds like Harry is fit, Reece 50/50 but no mention of Alfie Tuck who seemed to go down with the most worrying injury at Dover.
Nathan didn't play in the last round so I wonder if he will be available this time.

[Lord Elpus]

0-0 at HT, very flat performance indeed from us, and we could easily be a couple of goals down if Merthyr were a bit more clinical. Big improvement needed in the second half.

Great change of shape second half once we made the sub.

Going to a 4 atb allowed us to force the error out of them.

[Tony]

Great result. Holden also saved a penalty early in the second half.

[Lord Elpus]

Yes, decent result in the end against a pretty decent side. Still think if Merthyr had taken their first half chances they would have been out of sight but all credit for those second half changes.
Spalding at home in the 4th qualifying round please...(Edit...actually they're higher up than I thought. Anyone lower than us at home in the next round would be good!)
