FA Cup Results 6th November 2010 (Part 1)

Accrington Stanley 3-2 Oldham Athletic
Accrington aren’t doing brilliantly in League Two while Oldham are promotion contenders in League One. But this is the FA Cup and anything can happen. And it did.
Joe Jacobson wasn’t in Oldham’s squad.

AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Ebbsfleet United
Ten years ago, Ebbsfleet were known as Gravesend & Northfleet while AFC Wimbledon didn’t even exist. But AFC Wimbledon done so well, it’s an Ebbsfleet win that would count as a giant-killing. Ebbsfleeet managed to force a replay this time… but AFC Wimbledon might have an extra incentive to get through the replay and into Round 2.
Reece Jones wasn’t in AFC Wimbledon’s squad because he’s gone on loan to Lewes.
Gareth Williams made a late substitute appearance for Ebbsfleet.

Barnet 0-0 Charlton Athletic
Barnet are the lowest-placed team in the Football League and haven’t been particularly renowned for their wins. So a draw with League One promotion hopefuls Charlton is a good result. The only problem is, this is the FA Cup so they have to play the match all over again.
Defender Grant Basey, who left Charlton this summer, played the full match for Barnet and got a good reception from the Charlton fans.

Bournemouth 5-3 Tranmere Rovers
Bournemouth are currently looking like contenders for a second successive promotion while Tranmere’s best hope of promotion is probably to get relegated this season and then promoted the following season. Bournemouth got the expected win despite resting players but three goals for Tranmere suggest they could be up for a fight after all.
Rhoys Wiggins was a 61st-minute substitute.

Brentford 1-1 Aldershot Town
Brentford are gradually climbing the League One table after a poor start but they couldn’t manage a win over League Two’s Aldershot.
Darren Jones returned to Aldershot’s starting line-up after a one-match suspension. Aaron Morris, who replaced him in the last match, was moved into defensive midfield and did a good job.

Brighton & Hove Albion 0-0 Woking
No Welshmen in this fixture as far as I know but well done to Conference South team Woking for getting a draw at the home of the team who are technically the highest-ranked in the competition.

Bury 2-0 Exeter City
Bury turned giant-killers when the League Two promotion hopefuls beat League One’s Exeter City.
Bury were lucky that Stockport County were happy to let them cup-tie loan goalkeeper Owain fon Williams, who probably made Stockport look as silly as Exeter.
Richard Duffy returned to the starting line-up after recovering from illness while there was a second consecutive start for Daniel Nardiello, who hit the post but didn’t score. Rob Edwards was on the bench.

Cambridge United 0-0 Huddersfield Town
Non-league side Cambridge managed to hold one of the biggest clubc in the competition to a draw. Dave Partridge played the full match for Cambridge but also picked up his fifth yellow card of the season.

Cheltenham Town 1-0 Morecambe
Last season, Morecambe were in the play-offs while Cheltenham finished third from bottom. But this season, it’s Morecambe who have had the shakier start, while Cheltenham have looked like promotion contenders. No surprises in this Cup match – Cheltenham go through.
Josh Low came close to putting Cheltenham ahead but didn’t. But he has had a good season and he feels this is because he has such a good relationship with his manager.
