We'll take 35,000+

 

[Jim Levenstein]

We'll take 35,000+

Think that is a bit much. Too little time between semi and final to muster 35k imo

Also only a week between the semi final and the final

Team that normally gets through on the last day can sometimes carry that good form and go all the way, won't be easy York were alot of points better off than us this season, who knows it can happen, am I expecting it ? NO.

I said no because quite simply i think York have the fire power to win it ,shame we couldnt get Ollie Pearce deal completed because of that Rat ,i truly hope he never shows his ugly mush at RH again , in fact if i was COSU i would put a life long ban on him and any of his family attending RH ever again . Surely that can be done under Health and Safety rules .

Don't forget, should we get as far as playing York, the game will be played at a neutral ground, not their place or ours. That will have an effect.

…Wonder who our 5 best pen takers on the pitch would be after 90 mins.

This is an interesting point.

Of those that participated in our last shoot-out (against Hampton & Richmond Borough in The FA Trophy) in December 2023, only Husin will be involved.

He converted his spot-kick that day, therefore you can probably pencil him in for a penalty in a prospective shoot-out. Bridge has been the regular penalty taker, although he missed his last (in The FA Trophy this season) and he’s not regularly on the pitch at the end of a match.

Of the current squad, Ralph, Taylor and Scott-Morriss were all on the field at the end of that Hampton & Richmond shoot-out, but we only took four penalties, so someone else would’ve been required to take the fifth. Mooney was brought on for Bridge in stoppage time, so it may have been him, or one of the three defenders mentioned; Scott-Morriss seems the obvious candidate.

Bonne has been a regular penalty taker throughout his career, and is usually on the pitch as he has been introduced off the bench of late; Kendall has taken some but has often been withdrawn by the end of a game. Oli Coker scored four during his time with the U18s.

So, depending on who is actually on the pitch at the end of the game, perhaps:
Bridge, Bonne, Husin, Coker, Scott-Morriss
