We started as we meant to go on and were in front after six
minutes. Wormy crossed from the left, the keeper dropped it,
and Juke Box knocked it in, his third goal in four games.
Then we just bombarded them - we missed a series of
one on ones with the keeper, then on 36 minutes Boothie headed
a cross from the left onto the bar, Siggy hit the rebound
onto the post and Gary Holloway hit that rebound into the
net from four yards out.
The second half went all the same way. Ten minutes in Boothy
slipped through and chipped the back-pedalling keeper from
30 yards. Ten minutes later, after a corner, the ball fell
to Ian Simpemba who dummied a cross, checked inside and chipped
the ball to the far post for Boothy to head home. I gave Lee
Farrell a run-out and he had two one-on-ones with the keeper.
We absolutely smashed them. It wasn’t the best chance
to assess our new keeper, Danny Crane, but I was pleased with
the way that he communicated with the defence. The keeper
can see the whole game in front of him, and the more he can
get that knowledge to the defenders the better. It was a great
mood on the coach back home. We were all talking about who
we might get in the next round. Simon Wormull said “I’ve
got this feeling. I bet we get Crawley…” We did,
and we can hardly wait, though it’s vital to put it
to the back of our minds and concentrate now on the next league
game, on Saturday, Farnborough away.
