following Newtons first theory of irrelevance

Cheltenham T beat Gillingham 1 v 0
Millwall beat Cheltenham T 1 v 0
Doncaster drew with Millwall 0 v 0
B'mouth beat Doncaster by 1 goal
Huddersfield beat B'mouth by 1 goal
Carlisle beat Huddersfield by 2 goals
Carlise drew with the Supper Saddlers

therefore logic dictates that we will win by 6 clear goals

Ill go for a 1-1 draw, Butler to score.

Team (hopefully)

Ince
Wrack Gerrard Roper Boertien
Hall Dobson Sonko Ishy
Butler Mooney

I dont want Wrack at right back but i think hes better than weston to be honest...we really need a new right back.

Bit bloody harsh... What do you base that on, Swansea at home?

He had a decent game at Orient and looked tidy, sound and fairly safe... Granted he had the colly-wobbles at home to Swansea, but a new right back? Come off it, give the fella a bit of time at least.

He was very good at Orient. How many people slating him for the Swanse game against a good left winger went to Orient though?

You can't judge a player on one game. He was very good at Orient and is certainly an improvement on Pead or Westwood. That's good.

2-1 Walsall - Ishy and Fox to score (Don't ask why i think Fox!)

I've only just realised how much of a journey it is to Gillingham. i think i may be getting the coach to the game as opposed to trying to get thier using public transport!, Who else Coaching it?

Im going on the coach, going to get tickets tomorrow, game tickets go off sale at 12 noon, can pay on the gate, but save £3.00 getting them in advance.

Supporters Club coach.

Already got tickets.

Uncovered. Best be t-shirt weather.

Look at that stand. Think we only have half of it. The half to the right of the goal I think.


Oh, and Walsall to lose 2-0. Weston to score an own goal.

Stone the bloody crows , the lads hardly had any pre season training ,
He maybe was a bit slow to close the opppstion down for Swansea's first goal , otherwise i though he looked decent , nowhere near match fit yet.
give the bloke a chance.

personally i don't want Wrack anywhere near Gillingham on saturday.

1-1 draw with Butler finding the net. 379 Saddlers in the delightfully uncovered seating.

When i went to collect my tickets for the match today i briefly saw Picken as he was getting out of his car. He was certainly still limping and only had a small bag on him which suggests he is not even training. Ishy looked in good spirits.

Oh yes and it looks like there is only one official coach going tommorow which suggests a low away attendance i say around 200

Most of the players just have a wash bag as the kit is usually there for them to get changed into.
