Can't go due to coaching and family commitments - I am not boycotting, honestly!
JH seems to have the knack for Cup Football (he is, after all, defending the trophy his team won last year), so maybe the much needed win will come tonight. A draw offers the less than enticing prospect of a mid-December trip to Blyth (do I remember a mysterious Conference North postponement at this time of year in Lee Sinnott's time?) so a definite result one way or the other would be good. We are right down the bare bones because of eligibility issues - if the sick and the lame are not all fit again it seems to me we could even have Alfreton-style issues about fielding a full bench (which says a lot more about NY than it does about JH, by the way).
Still, despite it all, the right team selection, intelligent use of substitutes (however few we might have) and a positive attitude to keep going forward to the end even if we are winning narrowly should see us through tonight. There is a first time for everything! I shall look forward to hearing the cheers for our goals from what passes for the crowd through my patio doors!
