Tuesday night sees us compete in the 2nd round of this seasons Surrey Senior Cup against Walton & Hersham (tries to think when we last played them 🤔 - FA Cup during early Dos years..?!)
This match presents a good opportunity to give some members of the squad minutes in the legs namely Pierre, Fadahunsi, Kouassi, maybe Gambin and Thomas unless they’ve secured moves away from the club. I can’t see us risking new signing Angol.
With holders Dorking going out in the last round, it would be great to see us get to the final given it’s 20 years now since we last lifted this trophy.

Hopefully we will see Dave and Lee making appearances as well 🤞
I would be surprised should Lee Angol be risked as he recovers from an ankle knock he sustained at Bradford, he might as well be cup tied should he have played in the Yorkshire county cup. Amongst the other names mentioned I hope to see Craig Dundas, Sam Hart, and potentially Harry Beautyman getting good minutes to hone their match fitness and sharpness. Other than Rose who is unfit Matt might think any of our remaining keepers would benefit from some match practice, again checking none are cup tied. Outsider bets subject to fitness and not being cup tied could be Tobi Ogundega and Matt Ridley.
Lee Angol probably won't be risked. However, if he has played in the YCC or whatever they play in, he would not be cup tied as that rule was dropped years ago.

This evening's scheduled Surrey Senior Cup tie at home to Walton & Hersham has been postponed due to a frozen pitch. A rearranged date will be announced when known.
I am no expert on pitch maintenance but considering the weekend programme was postponed because of water logging, perhaps the use of covers was not possible.
The covers may protect from frost but would they have an adverse effect on a wet pitch?
As I have stated before, this was a major financial outlay for the club and protecting it has to be a priority and in particular to do the upmost to allow efl2 matches to be played.
"With holders Dorking going out in the last round, it would be great to see us get to the final given it’s 20 years now since we last lifted this trophy."
You obviously never know what sort of side the bigger clubs in particular might put out for any of these matches - but a final between strong Sutton and Woking line-ups would be good for the prestige of the competition.
This has been postponed due to a frozen pitch. Given the weather forecast there must be some doubt for the Crawley game. The photo on the official site shows that the pitch is presently completely uncovered.
scorpioeyes: I predicted a relegation struggle with a totally inexperienced manager. Hope I am wrong, but it doesn't look like it. MG is out of his depth,that's obvious.

ggl: So are we now saying we have a manager who is not in favour of bringing in loan players and if the board decided to part company with him they cannot afford to do so ?

historyboy: Sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Cack, I remember him well. I think that the said photograph publishsed by the club, of him sitting next to Dave Hermitage, isn't him at all; I think the picture shows Micky Goodall. Compare other pictures of both.

scorpioeyes: It certainly would be 'convenient' for Dover to have the season washed out. if they fail to turn up tomorrow,we should be awarded the game and 3-0 to our goal difference.Why should we be inconvenienced by any attempts to rearrange the game?

Burtie: Hello chaps. Is there any intelligence about the crowd situation for the game vs Hartlepool on 22 May? Does the club have a position on supporters?
Apr 24, 2021 17:02:01 GMT
scorpioeyes: I think these odds are quite amazing. If I was a neutral looking at the recent form and upcoming fixtures,I'd make hartlepool or perhaps Torquay as fave for the title. To have 'pool at 9s and us as evens is bizarre.

scorpioeyes: yes,'arrogant' is the right word. No objectivity allowed!

valiant: Hello again! Can you tell me where the away seating is please? I thought it was behind the goal next to the away terrace but looking at the film on Quest I can't see it! Thanks.

pinewalker: There is a temporary stand at 45 degrees to the pitch behind the NE corner flag, and there is more away seating at the east end of the main stand both accessed via the away turnstiles.

holmesdale96: Sorry to hear of Danny's death, a real loss. I saw him regularly during the 90's at his home in Streatham, always charged the same small fee for years, an absolute gentleman with his dear wife Rose. RIP Danny

scorpioeyes: So we have a situation where people from both sides of any argument can say they are 'uncomfortable' in the presence of the opposing view. Who is to say which side is correct or justified?
