For those interested,  I got the chance to write about this and diss Neil Young in the process

Nice dig at our "much missed" former manager 

Right. Radical view coming up, and I expect to be slaughtered by some of you.

I know a lot of Alty fans were unhappy when we fielded a weakened team against Stockport last season - but this time we absolutely must do in my opinion. The FA Trophy is, to my mind, third in our pecking order after the FA Cup tie at Portsmouth and the increasing chance of another crack at the playoffs.

Portsmouth is the immediate priority - the financial possibilities for the club are endless. The prospect of an awayday at Mourinho's new employers, or something similar, is mouthwatering. But if we can get Pompey back to Moss Lane, it'll be a dead cert for live TV, and even if it were the end of our run it would generate tremendous financial benefits, as well as putting the club in the public consciousnesses and attracting potential sponsors and investors.

I firmly believe that we cannot afford to lose key players to injury or suspension (Andy White is only one booking away from a ban).

I'd rest Thompson, White, Hannigan, Johnston, and Hulme. Yes, I know Joel Torrance in goal is a massive shout but I believe he's a tremendous prospect, and Densmore, Jones, Mullarkey, and Hampson, bolstered by Moult, are perfectly capable of protecting him.

If we lose at Bootham  Crescent the world won't end. If we lose at Fratton Park because key players are missing THAT would be a disaster.

Hope that doesn’t affect our preparations for the 4th round.

Nah - we can put the youth team out for it.

If we score a technically better goal this season than Shaun Densmore's today I will be amazed. Bursting to see it again on Robins TV.

I'd justed texted Hash to say we wouldn't win when we scored those two quick goals. Hereford basically folded from then, apart from the first few minutes of the second half (obvs had their arses kicked by the manager). I think they're a better side than they showed today, which makes our win even more outstanding.

Any news on Tom Hannigan ?

Thanks Stan. Fabulous bit of skill from Jordan, and his interview reveals the whole story.

Second best for the first 15 then bossed it.

My mom was Williams and special mention to Malarkey who superb with little game time behind him.

As Darlington lost 5-1 today I suspect we'll score 7 on Tuesday

What Darlington did is irrelevant. We play Gateshead on Tuesday, and they'll be fresh from their free weekend.

I find it surprising that a club the size of Portsmouth don't offer electronic ticketing. If little Kings Lynn can manage it....

There’s 15 GBG pubs of current or recent editions in Pompey though

If I can take a three day break in Norwich, and do 17 of the 25 GBG pubs in the 2019 edition before bussing it to Kings Lynn, it should be a doddle to clear that little lot. I used to be very partial to Gale's HSB, brewed nearby in Horndean, but Fuller's bought them out and closed the brewery. Vandals.

Their forum is already dismissive of us, eg "should be a turkey shoot". However, Portsmouth are rather underachieving this season, and are in the lower half of League 1. Prior to putting 4 past Southend in their most recent league outing (and there IS a turkey shoot !) they'd only scored 16 goals in 14 games. We're perfectly capable of earning a replay. I hear the sound of ringing cash registers.....
