Hopefully Swindon won't beat McDons today - much as i hate the franchise they could do us a favour today


Why do you want franchise to win? They are second. I want Swindon to win and us to go five points clear. So far so good. Still, there is a long way to go.

McLeod has just missed a penalty for franchise. Couldn't happen to a nicer man!

Fox booked, possibly for handball or time-wasting.

The BBC Live text is so bad at times!

Agreed, it would be better for the Dongs to lose today and hold Lincoln to a draw in the next game.

Our priority is getting out of this division - winning the league is nice but for now finishing in the top 3 is the most important. If we win and Swindon lose then the gap to 4th place will 9 points i think.

Yes, getting to 90 points is the aim, but theres no reason why we shouldnt win this league, for me it would be annoying should mk dons get ahead of us, I cant stand them

BBC has posted a correction - Martin Butler wasn't booked, it was the Peterborough player who fouled him - stands to reason !!!

Sp at half-time, it's one booking each, but 0-2 to the Saddlers. :lol:

Izale McLeod has not only missed a penalty, but he's been booked as well - having a good game there.

Ziggy's been booked playing for Carlisle, for whom Karl Hawley's scored.

Nottm. Forest have had 2 sent off, and are 4-0 down at Oldham - sorry BTH :cry:

We're still 0-2 to the good........

What Shall I ask for next?

I think I'd like a McLeod straight red card, followed by a Butler drought-ending diving header.

Oh, sorry, "please".

I love the Posh O/S match preview:-

ONE TO WATCH
With Tommy Wright suspended, Hector Sam could be the star man for the Saddlers. The Trinidad-born striker made the move from Wrexham and has been a key member of the squad. He has pace to burn and never gives defence's a moments peace.

68 minutes - Hector Sam replaced by Tony Bedeau (tactical substitution according to the BBC). So it looks like we're not trying to sit back on our lead then !!

We are five points (six if you count the goal difference as being worth a point) clear as it stands, and 19 points clear of Hereford in 8th as it stands.

Only us and Swindon winning in the top 13 at the moment.

Stop the world. I want to get off.
