TheBigDog 1,623 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 It was almost two years ago that Latics played at H&RB in the first round of the cup. The game was moved to Monday evening and shown live. Obviously a shock result was anticipated by the broadcasters and it almost happened with Latics behind 1-0 as the game moved in to the 88th minute. A lung bursting run from Gardner culminating in a fine finish by Hunt got us back level followed by O’Grady flicking on for Lang to turn his man and fire home in the 94th minute. A stay of execution for Bunn but not for long... Of the match-day squad only one is still at the club: Team: Iversen, Hunt, Clarke, Edmundson, Taylor, Dummigan, Lyden, Gardner, Lang, Miller, Baxter. Subs: Coke, O’Grady, Missilou, Branger, McFarlane, Maouche, Hamer There were some fine players in that squad and yet, though we bossed the game for the most part, it took that last minute winner to send us through to round 2. This year with arguably a less talented group of players we should probably anticipate another close encounter. I shall be watching on iPlayer on Sunday. I’m expecting us to win but...

Bristolatic 2,843 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 H&RB kicked lumps out of us two years ago and the ref didn't have a clue. If they still play the same way, hopefully we'll be a bit street wise, hit them with pace, draw them in to fouls that the ref can't miss. And, for Christ's sake get an early lead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Average age 22, maybe unlikely to be streetwise. Wonder if all loanees are available Quote Link to post Share on other sites

al_bro 345 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 We will probably be without our quickest strikers Dearnley and McAleny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We haven’t heard anything from the club about McAleny’s injury, or Badan’s either. We know that Dearnley has a groin strain and could be out for 3-4 weeks but it would be nice to have an update occasionally. Come to think of it, shouldn’t Jombati be back by now? Looking at positives, it does seem that a number of players are making good progress. The short rest seems to have done Hamer good while Jameson and Clarke are getting more confident with each game. CBJ is looking like a strong competitor while Barnett did well throughout the game. And our #frenchandbelgianlads, Bahamboula and Ntambwe, look fairly decent too.
