9/11 correct, I'll take that! Brooking playing was a surprise and if he has picked up an injury then that was a really poor decision, especially for 90 mins.

I'll be honest, I thought the first half was terrible. Lingfield were arguably the better team for large parts of it and the senior players who played did themselves no favours at all. McShane looks like he needs a loan to me as I don't see him getting to the required level just playing 20 mins at the end of games here and there.

Second half was much better and I thought Murphy looked really sharp. As @dorking-eagle said, getting him back and playing somewhat regularly would be a massive bonus for the second half of the season. I also really liked the look of that Carlos Richards who is on trial. Looked extremely quick and good on the ball, albeit a bit rusty when it came to end product.

Farnham away in the next round will be a big test so it will be interesting to see what sort of side Marc puts out for it.

Marc said (can't remember if it was the pre or the post match interview) that Brooking wanted to play. The injury is certainly unfortunate.

I would have thought Farnham will be on a midweek in January as the fixture is a little bit behind where it should be already.

Assuming we don't risk any 1st team 'starters' against Farnham then I would say Farnham will be the strong favourites. I am looking forward to revisiting the great fish and chip restaurant I have been to there before though! 😋
