Good to see both squads producing results. Must make you confident about rotating! Will be exciting to see how we perform against higher level opposition.

It's pleasing to know that I can bring anyone in and still get a performance, it makes my life so much easier.

With a few spots up for grabs on Saturday, the pressure is on everyone to perform. Thompson starts his first game after injury, whilst Yakin II comes back in for Palmer. With Dance out the cup game, and Palmer likely to start, it is between the two starting today to fight it out for the last spot.

Post got two goals in an otherwise quiet first half, which saw us passing the ball around with ease. Cribley and Goyzueta traded goals in the second half but the game again lacked quality or entertainment value. Goyzueta fired home in injury time to seal the win, as we now turn our attentions to Wrexham.

Ratings: Thame 7.2, Banana 8, Manbearpig 7.9, Thompson 6.9, Firebird 7.7, Patrik 7.7, Yakin II 7.6, Post 8.8, Biggun 6.8, Litmanen 7.1, Williams 6.5. Subs: ​Goyzueta 8.6, Baker 6.8

 
I'm finding the net more and more. Also 3 caps and a Man of the match award make me feel happy ;)
 
Biggun has finally scored a competitive goal!!! Was about time considering he is AMC, in a team which has been scoring for fun!

We took the lead in the 10th min, as a Whyte cross was missed by the keeper, and Mason was on hand to tap in. There was more of a hint of good fortune about our second goal, as Mason looked suspiciously offside when he powered the second goal in.

A Schwarzenegger OG 10 mins after HT was not helpful as we looked to kill off the game. He made up for it though by scoring in the right net, diverting a Whyte cross in. Mason finished his hattrick from the spot after a clumsy tackle, and practically confirmed the game for us. Onwards we march, Wembley awaits us!

Ratings: Redgrave 6.9, Thunderfoot 7.4, Schwarzenegger 8.2, Burheim 7.3, Whyte 9, Palmer 7.4, Yakin II 6.9, Mason 9.6, Peters 7, Baker 6.9, Roberts 6.7. Subs: Williams 6.8, Pinter -- , Biggun --

 
How come so many players have SIT? They wanting more game time or something? Going to be hard to keep them all happy haha.

That's mainly it, a couple of them complained because I was playing players who wanted more game time. It's a vicious cycle. Manageable for now though, whilst I keep winning.
 
We're all looking solid. As long as players don't get ahead of themselves and want to move away, you'll be fine. Rotation doesn't seem to affect our performances so that'll remain okay hopefully.

I think AFC Wimbledon might be a very doable draw for us actually :).
 
Still no goals in from manbearpig on set pieces. are you sure that hes on the near post? Hes got to be the tallest and highest jumping guy on the pitch by a mile.
