Not a day for the long ball game I'd guess.
Problems already.

Meanwhile in league no one near us won so we're still 5th. Lewes above us drew. Amusingly in the National League a chap called Adi Yussuf has scored for Yeovil against Dover |

Newman’s injury does not look good.

Ade...the commentary is off line First half it was on and off. 2nd half was unbroken. Likely technical issues out of Ade's control. Good commentary as always. |

One thing this team has is character, in spades. Typified by Ryan Jonson in midfield, who cajoles and drives non-stop. Some player.! Callum Davis was also a rock at center back with Matt Newman .
This was a tough gig for the lads today. A sloping bumpy pitch, driving arctic winds, and a determined home side who never stopped coming at us, right to the end. But we won the game with two outstanding if very different goals. The first, an excellent solo effort from Ade, who cut inside from the left and drove one which swerved and dipped, right under the crossbar for our opening goal.
The second. in the second half, came when Alfie played a beautifully weighted, defense spitting ball for Heardy to latch on to. drive on and place it past the keeper. A Lovely goal in any conditions, let alone todays! That was the important clincher I feel.
We still had to withstand a lot of pressure, and there was at the end some last-ditch stuff around our box, but the lads held firm. The worrying thing at this point was that Matt Newman had to leave the field with an injury. Let's hope it's not that knee again.
We went with a 4-3-3 today. Looks lop-sided to me. Virtually all our attacks were down the left and there was a gaping hole in front of JV on our right midfield, which their big left-back took full advantage of kept bombing on there in the first half anyway. The slope was against him second half. Team shape is something we need to think about in the future, in my view.
But it was a tremendous away cup victory for the lads in the most appalling conditions for a football match. COYS!

Job done against a determined, but average ,side .Worrying about Newmans injury with, imo ,the natural replacement out on loan.My guess is RJ will be dropped back and Mev taking the holding midfield roll.Once again the younger players might well miss out on game time because of the lack of forward thinking .We need to be progressive on the pitch as well as off it ,play them before we lose them .

According to their report Ade’s shot was going wide until the wind caught it but it certainly didn’t look like that on the video.

Their video of the game is up on YouTube - it's not bad at all, starts with some proper football music.
