McKeown; Wood, Miller, Pearson, Thomas; Southwell, Disley, Niven, Marshall; Rankine and Pearson

Subs hannah, Ford, Soares Cook and Hatton

Surprised McKeown is starting though could be to do with Flemmings poor distribution on Saturday, glad Pearson and Southwell are given starts

Hatton, Cook, Ford, Soares and Hannah on the bench

Strong line up then, Southwell replacing the injured Neilson/Colbeck, just the strikers that don't start regularly

Come on Town lets have them tonight !!

Yeh come on town! Do it for the travelling supporters. UTM.

0 - 0 at the moment.

Seems like were playing ok without really getting a decent effort on goal... sound familiar ?

Does anyone else think that we can only score from open play whilst the opposition don't have many players behind ball?

Quoted from Youngy

Really? I thought he got the ball out alot faster than Macca, and found the players well.

Quoted from Tinymariner

Yeah agree totally

Any more news on how we are doing ?

Yeah any updates folks

had peno claim turned down pretty even, but town applying the pressure and had a shot blocked which looked to be going in

Very little to say, few chances, lots of battling in midfield, town had some good long range efforts followed by good saves

poor game, poor pitch. poor

Mansfield took the lead through Colin Daniel, before Lewis McMahon levelled for the hosts.

The Stags had Gary Roberts sent off and Massiah McDonald fired in Matlock's winner.

"It was a lack of mental strength which cost us in the end," added Cox.

"Good teams, and teams which win championships, they come to places like this and they play nasty and horrible, and go away with a 1-0 win.

Can We Play You Every Week?  ;D

Got a tear in my eye, emotional night for us all, UTM!

You're so shit it's unbelievable!

;)

Did we stay injury free anybody know ?

Good to get the win, especially with an almost full strength team apart from upfront, and we get the goal when our best striker comes on ;)

Sounded like Soares made the goal (corner) too, good to see.

Bring on Ebbsfleet now, and lets hope we go all the way in the trophy with no more replays.

Any more injuries to worry about or subs for tactics?

Tough game in lousy conditions by the sound of it!

Oops - forgot to say - well done to all travelling fans tonight!

Quoted from cmackenzie4

subs seemed to be like for like and no mention on text commentary of anyone picking up knocks.

4 more sides to beat, though the semi's is two legs

If you work Sunday's book 24th March off  (surrender)

dont suppose they managed to identify how many town fans were there did they ? (i know there was no segregation)

Think they picked a good side tonight !  :)

Mixture of first team and reserves (well done you pollsters) and came through !  
Thank god no extra time and we've knocked the smile off Buxton's faces as well.

Good £5K for winning and now the prizemoney shoots down to £1000 for each of the next 3 rounds.

I hope we've learn something anyway - you don't ALWAYS have to pick "the best/strongest team" to win.

I thought it went up a grand for the next three rounds?

Yeah I wondered this too...
What do you reckon...?

Says
"Amounts are per club in each round. Numbers in brackets represent the number of winning clubs per round"

I thought it meant you get the money depending what round you win/reach but maybe you're right and it's cumulative.

Typical FA - can't explain a thing.

I was there from what i saw probs just under 100 town fans or just over, did anyone see me?

Bent over feeding a horse?





Fair play for going.

Clearly states winner of each round wins the amount in the brackets.

I knew I was right....Marinerian is never wrong!

I read on here the other day that somebody thought it would be better to forget the Trophy to concentrate on the league. In that case, I suggest you leave Dusty on the bench - he has got form, y'know, for lifting the Trophy. His finger prints are all over it ;)

Must admit I wondered if you might be wrong but you're right.

Wikipedia says too:
"The prize fund is cumulative, so a team that starts in the preliminary round and wins through several rounds would receive £2,000 for the preliminary round, £2,300 for the first qualifying round, £3,000 for the second qualifying round, and so on."

Just suprised no-one picked me on on it before !  ??)

Oh well good news and thanks for pointing that out.

Not sure it changes my view a huge amount but it certainly does a bit.
And as it happens we've come through with a slightly understrength team anyway too so it's a "win-win" all over.

Quoted from 1600

I hope we've learn something anyway - you don't ALWAYS have to pick "the best/strongest team" to win.

I know you're probably looking for a bite seen as you have mentioned it several times so I will promptly give you the satisfaction.

Not sure how last night wasn't our strongest side available, except for upfront and possibly Thanoj.

First choice keeper, first choice defence minus Pond. Wood was rested in the last few games and apparently ill. First choice midfield minus Thanoj (who you wouldn't play on a pitch like that anyway). Southwell in for the injured Neilson and Colbeck.

Only upfront was different and then who knows if Rankine is going to be first choice as he only just got here.

Finally we had to bring on our two first choice strikers in Cook and Hannah before we actually scored to win anyway!

As for reserves every single one who started last night are always in our 16 man match day squad when fit. (except Rankine obviously) and all of them except Southwell (replaced injured Neilson and Colbeck), Miller (replaced injured Pond) and G Pearson have started the majority of our league matches this season.

IMO it was our strongest possible line up apart from Hannah last night, maybe Rankine instead of Cook but to early to say on that as he's only just got here.

Seems that it wasn't pretty but we got the job done, which is the main thing. Games like that are never usually easy.
