FA Cup

[behind the goals]

Banbury best unbeaten run in senior football this season 11 league 7 cup(18) Hayes & Yeading 10 league 7 cup(17) & Liverpool 10 league 5 cup(15) going to be one really tough game, wonder if we will see Zanzala in the match day squad if not maybe Adam could ask after the game.

[Middleton Nick]

Think i'd rather have James up front with Gordon.

All the more reason for the Barrow players to be fired up to end it.Notice from the report of yesterdays game that they only had two shots on target and had their keeper to thank for avoiding defeat. They also have another cup game on Tuesday which may test their fitness come Saturday

A depressing thought. Roll on January

[Methuselah]

People have to realise that the Bluebirds can be a good team looking at how they have played this season.OK the wheels have fallen off a bit recently,but they do have fighting spirit.What does let them down is indecision and this is what we saw on Saturday when the ball was passed back to Farman instead of being passed to Romeo Hutton who was free on the right wing and could have run down unopposed and maybe crossed the ball creating a scoring opportunity.If Mark Cooper could sort this out we will have no problem beating Banbury.We have a team of mostly young players who will eventually come good.

[Pedro]

Think people need to realise we are still in work in progress and this team needs a bit of a clear out.
Thie game is a banana skin and I would not be surprised to see us get beaten.
I would be happy if we stay mid table.
Mark Cooper comes over dower but then he is from Yorkshire.
I think he has obvious ability and the only way to go to a bigger club is to get Barrow success.
For me this season is a holding season and we certainly have better players but also had a large number of injuries.
We had a physiotherapist Sean Riley who seemed to manage to get players fit pretty quick one season ,maybe,that's what we are missing

[Middleton Nick]

Stop signing players who have a bad injury record like Devitt. That's a start.

[Sonofsam]

Or start playing one of our better players like tom white

Agreed; him and Banks linked up together very well. Always find it strange White doesn’t get more game time at the moment

Well ITV will be hoping that little old Banbury give us a whipping. In order for that to happen however, they will have to play well above their League form and we will have to play quite a bit below ours. Statistically upsets even at this stage of the FA Cup are actually comparatively rare.

MC should show the squad the BBC highlights from the last televised round between Bromsgrove Sporting (same division I think as Banbury Utd) and Grimsby. About as boring and one sided as it should have been with Grimsby running in 5 and most viewers asleep by the end. Having said all of that this is the FA Cup and long may it continue to provide hope and expectation to the underdogs.

[Matty]

Don't have a good feeling about this. We've seen it too many times before.

[boyliegladbach]

I'll be disappointed if we dont put at least 5 past them.

[SayitagainSam]

I'll be disappointed if we dont put at least 5 past them.

And the scorers will be?

[Suffolk Blue]

I'll be disappointed if we dont put at least 5 past them.

And the scorers will be?

Ollie Banks, River Banks, Barclays Banks, Sperm Banks and Blood Banks. I think 5 might be a little on the optimistic side.

Having said that I think its only fair to point out that we have failed to score only twice (excluding Villa) this season and both of those were in the first 3-4 games. People assume we dont score. What we dont do is score enough.

Banbury played at Bromsgrove Sporting the Tuesday before Grimsby and won 3 - 1.

In reality Barrow should win the game this Saturday, we have a number of ex league academy players in our squad some with league 2 experience and higher (MK Don's, Northampton and Baggies), young and quick but Barrows experience should come through.
