Title: Simple way to beat Blyth
Post by: Nonleaguer on October 27, 2014, 07:30:21 PM
Keep Robbie Dale out of the game and success will follow. Simples

But for an upright and two excellent saves by Blyths keeper Leek would have secured the victory after squandering a first half 2-0 lead.

Wonder if it will be considered for a Sunday game due to past FA cup traditions?

Bit harsh given that we have had very good tv coverage in the cup in the last 20 odd years.

Think it is, looking at our lineup I don't think that was even a shock!

They are two league below us, we should have enough quality to do a professional job.

We played them 2 seasons ago in the Blue Square North.

I distinctly remember a certain member of the Radio Robins commentary team upsetting the locals as he described Damien Reeves 94th minute penalty to pinch a point in a 1-1 draw.

I sincerely trust Mr Flynn will be on his best behaviour in two weeks time as I will not be available to act as 'security' to ensure he leaves the stadium in one piece this time round !!

Correct. On each of the last 4 occasions we've been at home to a league side we've either been on match of the day or selected for live coverage.

I saw them play at matlock two seasons ago and I distinctly remember they were followed in large numbers by very vocal fans. Away to this team in the cup is certainly no easy game.

It won't be easy but it is one of the easiest draws even away as for the day out bit of a tedious one

They brought five fans to Moss Lane but they were already relegated by then.

Shildon have got Gateshead. Should be a good derby.

Decent chance of that I think as the BBC will want to mix the games up in terms of profile & Blyth v Alty & Norton/Shildon v Gateshead  are the pick of the all non-league ties.

Small piece on Alty here including Reevesy's goal on Saturday. Starts just after 20 mins:

I'm not quite sure why he isn't playing at a higher level...great player.

That sounded like a real gut wrenching defeat for Leek.

Same attitude as at Barwell applies here.  Plenty of folk applauded out professional approach to that game, same again please.  With £18k at stake, and a place in round 2 at stake we cannot afford anything but another professional performance.

One tactic, refer to them being a "Scottish" team,as they refer to us as a "Lancashire" side;

On the basis they are 21st in the Evostick and Barwell 12th, you have to fancy our chances. Admitidly they have a few games in hand but looking at 3 wins from 13 games so far.

Play our own game as usual and we should win. But we all know Alty.

I wont be going unfortunately as have a party later that evening and it is just too far away to get back in time.

The most likely to be shown on TV:

(1) Warrington Town v Exeter City

(2) Canvey Island / Havant & Waterlooville v Preston

(3) Coventry v Worcester City

(4) Weston-super-Mare v Doncaster

(5) Gillingham v Bristol City

(6) Crewe v Sheffield United

(7) Portsmouth v Aldershot

I would have thought non-league team at home to League One side in a West Yorkshire derby with a bumper crowd is probably more appeal to the TV companies.  They tend to like the non-league team at home too.

It's more than "tend to like" - I can't recall the last league tdam vs non-league team FA Cup tie that was televised (perhaps one of United's games v Burton, Exeter or Crawley but that doesn't count as ITV would broadcast United training sessions if they could).

Yes... Mad Frankie's challenge was to name any recent televised FA Cup matches where a league side was at home to a non-league side. We've now started naming instances where non-league sides were at home to league sides, which is the very thing he said happened all the time...
