Of course it will be difficult. Never mind the opposition this is Maidstone United we're talking about. And half the team are cup tied... But, there's still a small part of me that thinks we're going to win. Which is quite worrying.

Think it’s 8 words. Don’t BTW mean By The Way. I went on what was written. BTW is an acronym so did not count it. You have chosen to count BTW as By The Way. It is a question of what you wish to count as the correct way of doing things. I am happy for you to believe it is 8 words. I trust you can remain happy for me to see it as 5.

I believe there was just one change for the Fylde game from the starting 11 at Salford, bringing Cassidy in for Paxman, and Cassidy is not cup tied for Stockport.
Similarly only Robinson is cup tied from the starting 11 at Bromley - although based on the performance that's not necessarily a bonus.
Romain, Edobor, Richards and Paxman are also available.

I agree, and my favourite acronym can be found on Urban Dictionary...
NWS No wipe situation.
-The process of taking a crap without the need to use toilet paper to wipe. -It is generally quick, fast, and easy, while surprisingly satisfying.

I always assumed it stood for Not Watching Stones...

I didn't count it because it is nonsensical as a word. However, you can have it at 6 if you want.

So, after the debacle that was Halifax at home, what can we now say about Stockport away? Well, maybe if we play the keepie uppie hoofball we played last night it may bamboozle the Stockport players who thought they were playing an NL team and confuse them into conceding a goal! Also, all the time we are hoofing and heading the ball aimlessly upwards, Stockport wont be able to play their nice football. So if we really go for it with HW tactics and keep them away from the ball by keeping it in the atmosphere all evening we may scrape a draw to get them back to our place in the hope that they do a Salford, save their first team the midweek travel and send their kids for us to beat. With Lewington in goal we may actually keep a clean sheet, too. FAT semi finalists or finalists or even winners in our relegation year would be fun. It may not do the reputation of the FAT any good though!

If the players don't care about staying up, they aren't going to care about the KSC. We didn't care last year, even when we won it! Always good to beat Gills though, so if we play our first team and they play their kids, it may be a bizarre cause for fans celebration in the midst of relegation gloom. I'm up for it.

I always assumed it stood for Not Watching Stones... Oh a 'new' joke from Justifying Desertion Lamentably. Anyway despite working loads of Saturdays and Tuesdays I racked up game number 14 last night, including trips to Barrow and Gateshead. They are in a place called The North. Try going there sometime. It's quite pleasant.

So I release my crap on here and you find it satisfying. Thanks for the compliment

Given that this is the only game left that actually means something at the moment - prestige and money - while we can only field a weak team, there is a chance, albeit a small one, that they could raise their game and surprise Stockport. More likely they will lose in the usual manner, but our cup record is surprisingly strong, with the only loss so far to Oldham. Could this suggest a change of attitudes in cup games from our players? It certainly happens quite a lot in the cups, where their is usually at least one struggling team, league wise, who go deep, even to the final. For most non-league players, this is their only chance of playing at Wembley, so they really should be giving it their all.
