The Round of 32 goes until the 14th August, so not until after that

Seen plenty criticising the more first-team players and praising the academy lads - got no problem with that but in terms of fitness definitely worth noting the academy youngsters will be a lot fitter right now, as we're right in the thick of the Central League season, whereas idk when the likes of Kraev, Wootton last played a full competitive game.

Can I just say that I think "Round of 16/32" sound shabby, and we should have French-style names: "eighth-finals" and "sixteenth-finals"

One thing I didn't love was Al-Taay playing out of position at RB and not looking great at it. While I think our starting backline is Payne/Wootton/Surman/Sutton (assuming no additions/injuries), I am concerned about the lack of depth at RB. Hope Chief has something is the works.

Valley FC til I die?

Yeah, I'd say we're still an RB and another forward short of a complete-ish team.

Just reviewing the match statistics on Wyscout. Pennington won the ball 27 times including 21 Duels and 6 interceptions.
Consider that the club did a Facebook profile of Ugarkovic last season and he'd won the ball 14 times. It was "wow Ugarkovic".
I don't think that Pennington has ever won the ball less than 16 times playing with the Nix.
I will post a photo of the stats tomorrow. Hopefully.

I'm genuinely glad you're back this season to give us more Pennington factoids 💛 🖤

And our score would be two - love (it came from French word for egg)

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
