After a few joicy fixtures in the league with Exeter we now find ourselves two leagues and forty places adrift from them. As a fan owned team they have shown incredible resillience to be pushing for promotion in league 1 sitting 3 points off the playoffs with 10 points from their last 5 games. The Grecians urnings have been slightly diverted towards Barnet with £1 from every away supporter going to Barnet FC to pay for the bus shelter stand which is behind the goal. It is there that we will be situated on Saturday; our own bit of Hive from Hive.
In terms of Barnet's team putting to one side Deano's anger at our second half performance it was good to get a win on the board before the two week break from the league and we will be looking to give a good account of ourselves in this fixture. Exeter as well as being the gateway to Cornwall is home to a storming Norman Cathedral and a lovely Wetherspoons based in an old country house. Unfortunately the short notice has ruled out Great Curtis Railways on cost grounds and the South West trains pootler is replaced by a bus for some of the way so I don't expect a massive away following, especially given this is not a new ground for many and our fans have treated the Cup this season with the same respect that Dean Brennan treats Laurie Walker.
In terms of team line up the first person to say this is a "free hit" will receive a match thread yellow card
. We don't have a midweek fixture (Bedfont and Broomsticks doesn't count) so we may as well go with our best team and try and pull off a cup upset. I would go:----------------------------------------Hayes--------------------------------
-------------------Rye----------------Oluwu---------------Kenlock-------
-----Collinge-----------Shelton-------------Hartigan------------Coker--
---------------------------Hobson------------Brunt--------------------------
-------------------------------------Kabamba--------------------------------
Subs:- Bellagambin, Cropper, Kanu, Kizzi, Stead, Chapman, Clifford
I am doing this one on the Percy Bus. Hoping we can progress to the second round and get some more money to invest in the squad.
COYBS.
