Bashley

[Northcampshot]

Evening, is anybody else going to the game tonight or will i be the only shots fan there. Bashley is the nearest team to me so was very happy when we were drawn against them. Hope there are a few other shots fans going to keep me company.

I’ve seen there’s a few shots fans going so you won’t be alone. Hopefully there’s a twitter (x) live feed to keep anyone not going updated.

No meltdown on here if we lose a Hampshire Cup tie, please!

I’m as disappointed as everyone else about the current first team situation, but a defeat tonight really wouldn’t be the end of the world.

[Reg's corner]

Widds in charge tonight? Any first teamers involved?

[Mick Earls Fan Club]

Fair play to those hearty souls going tonight. May you be rewarded with a win and a safe trip.

You've been on here long enough to know that aint ever gonna happen, Alex !!

[Josh]

I'm going. Looking forward to it. New ground

[Anon E Mouse]

There is a coach load going

[CH]

Strong Team full of attackers

Nash

Maghoma
Menayese
Scott
Akpan
R.Jones

Tetek
Henry
Frost
Barrett

Barham

Subs
Dewhurst
Byrd
Vaughan
Ghandour
Mullins

Surprised by this. In April Tommy was claiming the players had run out of steam, but at this rate, these players will have done close to 60 games by the end of the season.

[Alex]

Full first team line-up and subs including Maghoma, with Pat Nash in goal.

Hargreaves and Theo finally dropped… or the only two getting a rest because they have been superb all season, apparently! LOL

Don’t care about the result but that squad should be winning VERY EASILY tonight.

The biggest worry to me is that with this and the National League toy cup he continually leaves out Hargreaves and Widdrington to protect them as they are so valuable


Fact is they are very much a big part of the problem

Imagine we will play a back four and push Ryan Jones higher up the field. Bizarre to be playing such a strong side, TW must be looking for some big performances.

[Alex]

If we don’t score 15 goals minimum TW should be sacked tonight!

What's changed from previous seasons? This cup and NL cup I've been very surprised how first team these cup games have been so far this year.
Does tommy and the players care that much about these competitions?
Its just a genuine question as over the years especially this competition you would normally be lucky to even see a first team player involved.

Does tommy see it as an extra tougher training session for the boys to get prepared for the next Saturday game I.e this game an extra session to get in before making the trip up north.

Great for fans who travel and get to see more of a first team teamsheet out on the pitch but i really thought this new development B squad they started up this year was going to be more for things like this competition.

Hope the team has a good injury free run out/win tonight.
Must say the one I'm mainly disappointed with is that Henry is playing again just like last Tuesday and we didn't really use him for an important game Saturday just gone.
Will be a bit annoyed if he has plenty of minutes again tonight but doesn't play much up at Gateshead.

Having listened to Tommy's interviews regarding these games I think regardless of their level of importance he sees winning games as part of the teams mindset of getting into a winning habit. I also get the impression he sees competitive games as better training than just playing against each other at the training ground.
