Why? And certainly not in a match like this. As I understand it our u21 team often contains quite a few 16/17 year olds with little or no experience of men's football.

#savetheplanetLittle old Maidstone flying up from LGW on Monday!
I think it's a bit disrespectful that quite a lot of people on here are expecting 5-0, 7-0, 10-0 victory. It's ridiculous. This is the cup and as we all know anything can happen .I'm enjoying all this chatter. We are a tier 6 side. Our regular strike force can't play. We have one other striker that can play. If Appiah is ruled out we will probably play an injury prone centre back that is 50:50 to make it. We could/should have been 4 down at Ipswich after 15mins. It would be lovely to come and win again but realism says that you ain't gonna score just one from 38 chances. We had our day in the sun and it was wonderful. It is nice to be brining another big crowd but all this nonsense about if you get through.
What I hope for most is that we remain competitive for as long as possible to keep the atmosphere up

No scheduled flights so assuming private and therefore no lost time in the normal airport at either end, kit man will drive the van and all the gear so should be a lot quicker than coach via M25 etcSeriously?
Be quicker just to hop on a coach!

These posts almost being back-to-back, phenomenal stuffNo debate for me, play our strongest 11
The truth as usual, lies somewhere in-between.These posts almost being back-to-back, phenomenal stuff
Exactly. It would be foolish and cruel to chuck youngsters into such a match.It’s also the pressure any youth players would be under- imagine making your debut in a 5th round knockout game where losing will not only eliminate you from the cup but would essentially make us the laughing stock of the country.
It's not like any of them are exactly knocking on the door is it.Exactly. It would be foolish and cruel to chuck youngsters into such a match.
Cruel?Exactly. It would be foolish and cruel to chuck youngsters into such a match.
Seriously?

Again. Absolute, downright nonsense. Good luck to them and well done to them. Really not disrespectful to predict a very likely result though.I think it's a bit disrespectful that quite a lot of people on here are expecting 5-0, 7-0, 10-0 victory. It's ridiculous.
On what basis?
Look at the teams we loan them out to, often levels below Maidstone. I’m fairly confident our U21s would get absolutely bullied and lose.
Instead of us, the Man City first team?8-0 if we put a decent side out and score early, two in the first ten minutes to knock the stuffing out of them and blast them away by half time.
Make them wish they had got to play the Man City reserve team.
Team going full strength in FA cup 5th round shockOne of the easiest fifth round draws in FA Cup history and we’re going full strength, I love this club.
I don’t agree that it is a ‘big ask’. Our team is in a better place than last season.Don't underestimate what an achievement it will be if we manage to make the play offs again.
Gonna take a huge effort from the squad if we going to get there.
It's doable but a big ask, yesterday's matches changed very little. Was still a big ask before then also.
It’s the lowest ranked team to reach this stage in 50 years or something.Team going full strength in FA cup 5th round shock

Doesn't look much change the last couple of days. It should pick up again after Preston on Friday night.How's tickets looking?
Estimate 24000 minimum on the night. Could well be moreDoesn't look much change the last couple of days. It should pick up again after Preston on Friday night.
At a guess i reckon about 18K at the moment (awaits abuse)
It wasn't, I spoke to him the day after and once he started rolling there was nothing to stop him. Appreciate it does look deliberate from some of the footage, but it definitely wasn't. The surface is steeper that I looks and pretty slick from memory. He was back out in the pubs in Maidstone that night.Fuck him. It was deliberate. He didn't give a shit about who was below.
We don't have the squad to do that.It’s the lowest ranked team to reach this stage in 50 years or something.
Other teams playing this kind of mismatch fixture have typically rested at least half of their usual starters. Would be mad for us to not do the same.
By playing our first strength team, no pissing about.We put 6 past a team in the playoff positions in the league below us and realistically it should have been more. I really don't get the panic or worry playing against Maidstone. The game will be won by half time.
From memory?! Have you got previous?It wasn't, I spoke to him the day after and once he started rolling there was nothing to stop him.

You can see him in the video roll forward on purpose. Strange how it's happen to anyone else isn't it.It wasn't, I spoke to him the day after and once he started rolling there was nothing to stop him.

Where did you hear that?Little old Maidstone flying up from LGW on Monday!
Where did you hear that?
Apparently someone local let off the fire alarms at the hotel the night before Ipswich.
Not that it did us any harm.
