Ours hasn't! 10 on the bounce if we beat Walsall tonight?

I remember reading earlier on this thread that Maidstone had remained unbeaten for a number of games and thinking that they would be a team brimming with confidence even though being two leagues below us. The boot's on the other foot now. WE'RE the team full of confidence. WE'RE the team on an unbeaten run. Bring it ON!

They lost again on Saturday and tonight are at home to bottom of the table Havant & Waterlooville a team with just 6 points to their name.A big win would boost their confidence but a shock defeat do the opposite. All meaningless of course (our result tonight will have no bearing) and as you say Sam play as we have been and there will be NO problem.

An easy win against a poor Havant tonight. Two more goals from Levi Amantchi who looks unstoppable near goal, but we also love to give away the odd soft goal. No idea if we can bridge the gulf in class.

Do you think amantchi could make the jump to EFL and be as successful?

It’s weird fans of previous clubs say he did nothing, but based on tonight you’d have to say yes. First he ran in from the wing going past several players and shooting at close range when it suited him. The other was charging through the middle at short range. Apparently several scouts in the crowd tonight, so don’t expect him to be here too long as we won’t have him on a long contract.

So, Havant a-Got-a-clueville, then?

I’ll get my coat.

So Barrow on a long unbeaten run, can only be a win for Barrow right? Er no it's the FA Cup anything can happen. No questioning they are good at home on their plastic pitch. I honesty see this as a really hard fixture and if Barrow aren't fully on it they will turn us over. Saying that I don't think PW has it in him to see any game as easy and will have the players up for it with that carrot of a possible premier team away next round.

It’s a harder fixture than Walsall at home was ever going to be.

Pete Wild certainly won’t be letting the players take it lightly!
Huge game with the potential benefits a massive third round draw could give us

With temperatures set to reach sub zero on Friday evening down in Maidstone, I imagine there will be an early morning pitch inspection.

Even artificial pitches become dangerous to play on during the icy weather.

Hopefully it won’t be as bad as currently forecast, and the game will go ahead as planned.

I wonder where Pete Wild really wanted to stick that pen that he dropped.
