I've been surprised by the style and tactics of many non-league teams in the FA Cup over last few years. There's still an oft quoted idea that lower league / non-league is "proper" up-and-at-em football compared to the top-flight; but so many teams now, even non-league, are trying to play football and the pitches, even at those levels, are more conducive to it. You don't see many pitches like the Hereford-Newcastle game and the smaller teams aren't looking to just kick the bigger teams out of their stride anymore and trying to stop a football game breaking out; and instead are looking to match them on the day.


I thought Fylde were a good example of this. Despite going behind to a Will Grigg goal, they battled well, defended resolutely and despite having little up front , matched Wigan technically for a lot of the time.

Welldon has been handing out photos of you, you will be found and dealt with in the usual manner! (A dodgy prawn from a club platinum sandwich between the eyes!) ;)

Consider it done, our top boys are on the case as we speak, the yute are gagging to see some proper action.

Not at the match - couldn't be bothered. Prefer to stay warm.

My reporter says we should be 3 down and there have been chants of "Nielson Out"!!!!

No excuses for this one. At home against a non-league team. If we lose, he has to go. Even more so if rumours of discontent behind the scenes are true.

If Winkie doesn't act, then fans will start to turn on him.
