Swindon Town (A) 31st January 2006 - League

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Funny, no one seemed to want to start a match thread! Predictions, anyone? Geordie's pub guide is on the front page as well.

[YGA Saddler]

I think we are losing heart Neil!!!

Ill go for a 1-1 draw. Timm to score

[Henlow Saddler]

Its January, its away, its a must win game..... cant see anything other than a Swindon win. I'll go for 2-1 with Walsall getting a late goal after a much improved 2nd half performance.

[Stu]

2-2 draw... If we lose, I do honestly think it'll be the final straw and I wouldn't expect him to be there against Brentford.

Now Jeff knows he won't make any more money out of cup runs, he'll be concerned at the money we're losing on crowds. Defeats at Swindon and Brentford could lead to one of the worst attendances at Bescot for a long time when Scunthorpe arrive.

[Cheesebag]

This was the game last season where we started our end of season run, Wright nicking it at the end.

The most important game of the season. MUST WIN.....






















1-1 :roll:

[PerStener]

2-1 Saddlers..

[saddlerken]

An irrelevant 2-2

[Bernie]

Who is going to play in defence at Swindon?

Merson tells us that:
"Ian Roper is probably out for another week and Chris Westwood's ankle swelled up during the game at Stoke, so we'll have to hope that settles down. Scott Dann is unwell so if Chris is out we'll have to shuffle things around."

Good job Swindon don't have any forwards . . . . .

. . . except for Trevor Benjamin, Lee Peacock, Albert Jarrett etc. etc. :(

[Gutter Press]

Can't see us winning there.
2-0 to the Robins the only bright-side being Bonser realising enough is enough, sacking Merson straight after the game and not allowing him a lift home on the team coach.





MERSON OUT

[Magic Man Fan]

I really can't see us winning now we have no defence. Peacock and Benjamin and whoever else plays will cause all sorts of problems.

I hope we can beat them to take some pressure off but I think we'll lose 2-1 unfortunately.

[Gutter Press]

That said it will be two 'different clarse' goals and a 'couple of world clarse' saves that deny us a point at the County Ground.
it must be great in the small, shallow world of Paul Merson



MERSON OUT

[WFC_Rob]

I'll go for an optomistic 1-1. Peacock for them & Constable for us.

[Exile]

Awful first half, go in to the break with a 2goal deficit, start playing in the second half and finish the match 2-1 losers, much-improved second half performance masking the glaringly obvious fact that we only appear to play for a maximum of 45 minutes a game, and only start to play when 2-0 down.

[KJC]

I predict a game of awful defending from both teams....

us winning 3-2....


hopefully! :roll:

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Preview now on line

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Keates has travelled with the team - seen by the Fat Controller. Team news on front page.

[clarke78]

well the ref has a dodgy name

[jeffsmate]

1.0 down. cureton.

[wton_saddler]

cack! 0-1

[hullsaddler]

How many has Cureton scored against us over the years ? Sounds like it has been Oakes who has kept us in it till now. Still I'm sure an inspirational half-time talk will turn things round!

[toffo]

If the scores stay the same as they are now this is what the table will look like.
Well and truly in the shite!

[Geordiesaddler]

But more importantly, how many points off the play-offs?

[clarke78]

What will it take before something is done?

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Half time report on. We've had a battering chances wise.

[Surrey Saddler]

If you support Walsall, you have to know how to suffer. believe me

[hullsaddler]

Geordie , you are too much of a pessimist- surely whilst automatic promotion is still mathematically possible then we should be aiming for that!
