FA CUP THIRD QUALIFYING ROUND

[littlehampton]

Chelmsford City  V    Enfield Town / Hadley

[littlehampton]

 

An attractive tie for the winners of tomorrow evenings replay. Chelmsford play in the National League South and are currently 11th in the table, having played six matches, winning 2, drawing 2, and losing 2. Last Saturday, they beat Little Oakley 5-1 at home in the Second Qualifying Round of the FA Cup.

The Third Qualifying Round matches will be played on Saturday 2nd October.

LH lets hope we make it for the trip. Quite a while since we went there but may suit us better. We will be the under dogs.

Yes an interesting report and, from what I have previous read from other members, a good unbiased summary of events.

You know the thing I have always remark on is the number of youngster we let go. Consequently I have been struck by the posts commending the Hadley's winger. He seems to have been under the radar. Do we still have scouts?  If he is as good as they think he is,  he sounds the sort player who could bring a bit more skill to our squad.

I wonder if the management have noticed. Remember a young winger from Barking not too long ago. We got him and he was a joy to watch for several seasons.

You missed a very close encounter of the worrying kind on Saturday 4WF, but we survived and have a chance to put things right tomorrow.

The young Hadley player who caught everyone's eye on Saturday was Solomon Ofori. a very quick skilled individual who caused us plenty of problems. We will certainly need to keep very close tabs on him tomorrow evening.

We lhave lost lots of players to higher teams because of a lack of contracts (and the 7 day rule) at this level.How about using it to our benefit for once and try to sign players like Ofori.? Have we got a scout that tracks players in the leagues directly below ours?

It seems me that many others think like you LH in  that we will have to  be on our toes tomorrow!!!! We can only wait and see. Although surely a trip to Chelmsford should be enough incentive for the team to raise the game.

Be assured I'll be watching the live scores on the internet as they come in.

Exactly my sentiments LS. I too have ask whether we have scouts out and about.

You and LS are aware we are a step 3 or 7th Division club, which lives on day to day income that gets the club through.

im sure managers go and watch players at other games when they can in between Tuesday/Saturday games, midweek training and probably full time employment but don’t worry about that

You seems to know a lot about though, OT!!! Are you sure you were never in a Baden Powell follower like me. One advantage was it help you to get you nearer to the Guides. After all we both had Woggles to share!! ??!!!

However, must get back to the serious business on another post......
