I hope we play a reasonably strong side tonight against Hemel. I know it’s only the Herts Charity Cup but it would be embarrassing if we play mostly U23s and get well beaten by a stronger Hemel side. I’d normally expect 200 at most for the HCC but hopefully we can get double that tonight.
Personally I’d like to see Akanbi start again to see if he can be less ineffectual than on Saturday. Morall, Lawal and McDonald should also get 90 minutes alongside one or two youngsters - Gauthier perhaps. Otherwise I hope we play a reasonably strong side.
if we win we’ll be at home to Hitchin in the Semi-Final, as we will in the Herts Senior Cup 2nd Rd sometime in December.

Hemel have their FA Cup 4th qualifying round on Saturday. I can see them resting players for that.
Hopefully a big crowd still.

Is there extra time if it is a draw after 90 mins or straight to penalties ?

Is there extra time if it is a draw after 90 mins or straight to penalties ? For the last few seasons a draw meant straight to penalties. I’d be surprised if that ‘s changed (but don’t take that as definite). |

Jeffers is starting. And he’s captain.
Let’s hope he doesn’t score because that would surely break the bank with all the bonuses he will earn.
