Only found out this game was scheduled last night when the preview popped up - thought to completely academy based the squad for tonight’s game under the supervision of Jimmy Dack and Ross White.
Epsom & Ewell currently play in Cobham (their ground affectionately known as Leg O’ Mutton field) - groundsharing at numerous venues since vacating their West Street ground 30 years ago.
Anyone likely to go?

I’m planning to and expect there will be a few there.

Sadly I can't go but I'm a little surprised that the likes of Tope and Lee Angol aren't getting a game. They need game time which they're not going to get much of in L2 or the FA Cup. They may well play in the BSM Trophy but will probably be a little rusty.

Might include one of Arnold or House in this equation

Blessed is the person who having nothing to say abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.

They may well play in the BSM Trophy but will probably be a little rusty. And with E&E second from bottom in the Combined Counties, it would offer them a good opportunity to boost their confidence with a few goals. I shan't be going. I haven't been to a Surrey Senior Cup match since Horley in 2019. I used to watch the majority of them, but it would appear those days are gone.

Might include one of Arnold or House in this equation I agree. Including Dundas we have 5 goalkeepers currently available in the first team squad.

For some of us this game has groundhopper appeal!
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of some first-teamers being in our squad, though it's clear that the side will be primarily academy players.

For those who havent been to Cobham for a while, please note that the club car park is very small and you can no longer park on the access road up to the club. However there is a public car park right opposite the entrance to the access road which is free after (I think) 7:00pm. I'll be there!

They may well play in the BSM Trophy but will probably be a little rusty. I'm less surprised at them not taking part. We've got 4 fit strikers. We can't afford to risk injury to any of them, although you're right, they do need game time to be at a peak. I'd rather have them slightly not match fit than injured, and I expect Matt thinks the same.

I notice the preview suggests some of the younger players we had out on loan may feature. Does this mean their loans have finished? Or are they just available for this cup? Perhaps time for a "loan watch" up date ? maybe the press sec can ask a question in his weekly interview with Mr Gray?
