We are in the "South" region of the draw, where there are 38 clubs, of which 13 are in the National League. Our ball is #36.
It appears that the furthest travel we could get (and forgive me for not knowing which is the longest) are Brackley Town, Hereford, Torquay, or Leiston / Peterborough Sports

We, as in Welling United or Taunton Town, I assume. Everyone seems to be forgetting that we are not through to the next round.
£3750 in the bank, potential of £4500 if we win the next in a home round tie. Not too much damage in the league action tonight, so a game in hand over some, and a few new nice signings to bolster the squad.

Sorry, but that was not well played.
We will always look poor until we get that resolute back four sorted.
Something that impressed earlier in the season.
Not the opener, may I add.
After we went 2-1 up, it looked like we might have done enough but then came the dreaded equaliser which was certainly no more than Taunton deserved.
Obviously well pleased we won that penalty shootout though. You could see how much it meant to the players, staff & fans alike.
We need to dig deep & play better on Saturday against high flying Yeovil.
We are Wings!
Totally agree with this. Where we looked good at the back earlier in the season we now look very shaky. Afraid since Curran has been in the back 4 it's looked that way. Can only assume Nico Jones will slot in there.
If Abrahams is to remain playing, I think we need a slight change of system as it clearly isn't working in the current format.

According to Danny Bloor Adam Roscrow is due back soon. Hopefully he may boost the attack. Its true we really need to sort out this leaking of goals especially after getting in front. This late late conceding goals curse pis killing us.
It is interesting to get an idea of the way non league works, and how non league managers work. They are nice and friendly, then the moment one criticises them at all, they totally cut one off, no matter how accurate and constructive ones comments are, as managers like to surround themself with yes men, so they just keep making the same mistakes, as they dont learn or constantly improve.
We have been in the bottom 4 all season long, and 40% into the season no real signs this will change any time soon. It is pretty obvious why, as the current manager actually sets his team up like last season's manager, one isolated player up front, which makes it hard to score, so we score an average of a goal a game, and concede an average of two goals a game. So in our 18 league games we have scored 0 or 1 goal 12 times. In short, which team is more likely to score, a team with one striker, or a team with two strikers? We played a team the other day who played with three strikers, and scored four goals... there's a lesson there.
Then our accuracy in shooting is very poor, which has never been addressed, so that Chippenham game was a real turning point for me, as I suddenly realised there has been no improvement in the team for 5 months, nothing has really improved much since the preseason games. So the win against Taunton was nice, and a minor miracle, as playing Taylor Curran is like giving the opposition a goal head start. This league is too quick for him, so the majority of his rushed passes go straight to the opposition. A really good first half, players running hard to make options for each other, then a mess in the second half as we went back to our overly cautious football. Danny was dealt a really bad football hand, having so little time to get a team together, but all that is in the past, what happens now is what counts.
We made hard work of this one and really should have one it in 90 minutes yet again can't hold on to lead and concede a late goal. The penalty shoot out was nail biting stuff.
