    Swindon vs Crewe (1st Vs 3rd)

    Sigh. A step too far for the team. Thought they were fortunate to the the equaliser, but our defence folded once Hunt went off. Can't use that as an excuse, Swindon had big issues of their own. We just didn't perform. Didn't perform to the conditions, didn't perform to a man. The defence held...

    Swindon vs Crewe (1st Vs 3rd)

    Dominate possession, get in plenty of promising positions, but create very little. Frustrating. All the crosses have been straight at the keeper, execution has been poor on the whole. Midfield is struggling, Green aside. Ainley has barely been in the game and Lowery keeps losing the ball. Can't...

    Swindon vs Crewe (1st Vs 3rd)

    Yeah, was just looking at that and thinking there wasn't a lot there to call on if you need to make any changes.

    Swindon vs Crewe (1st Vs 3rd)

    It's a pain in the arse to get to, we usually lose there, most of our lot have been dozens of times and the pricing isn't great for the standard of facilities you get there, shoved in that corner and made to pack into 10 rows for.....reasons. Plus, it's only a few weeks since Christmas and a...

    Swindon vs Crewe (1st Vs 3rd)

    We won't have any new faces in defence, which is annoying. Artell has known since Boxing Day when he hauled Mbulu off that he didn't really fancy him and he's also know since then that Lancashire and Nolan won't be fit(not that the first is any loss). Yet in the 2 weeks since then, he hasn't...

    Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    Given Lowes comments yesterday about not being able to afford Pitman, isn't it fair to say all he has in the budget is loans and bargain bucket stuff like Clarke. Getting a proven player in looks unlikely doesn't it?

    More likely to be Jordan Bowery than Keiran Agard if MK Dons are offloading a striker. At least the latter can hack it in L1, the former definitely can't.

    American Football

    I've seen some in the American media praising the hire for his work with your special teams over the last 4 years. Is that not fair? I do agree though, very odd and it has the potential to go badly wrong. Can we finally admit Jerry Jones has officially lost the plot? Is McCarthy really the...

    Swindon vs Crewe (1st Vs 3rd)

    Whilst I don't disagree with moving Wintle back into midfield, which of the current trio make way? Ainley was excellent against Carlisle and finished strong against Scunny. Does he make way? Does Green, even after 2 goals in his last 2? Or Lowery, who was also good in the last 2 league games? I...

    Swindon vs Crewe (1st Vs 3rd)

    Same. We're threadbare at the back. Lancashire has been out since he played you guys back in October and won't play in this one, so none of that circus thankfully. Eddie Nolan is suffering from back injuries and we're just praying it'll settle down because if it doesn't, he'll need surgery...

    I really wish Artell had kept his mouth shut. Does he know if anything will change between Sunday and today? No. Even if he got it straight from the horses mouth in a Bradford director, things change quickly in this game. He's risking looking like a right chump if this doesn't happen. And yes...

    If Bradford wanted to be the ultimate shithouses, they'd dangle the idea that they will sell him to you in this window for the next few weeks, meaning you won't go into the market for another striker. Then, on deadline day, they mess you around all day and then at the final moment pull of...

    Got to think Championship clubs are a little wary of big bids after his failed spells at Cardiff and Preston as well. Does selling him north of the border get round the 2 club rule? Could a return to Hibs be on the cards? Maybe Hearts or Aberdeen could come in for him? The prospect of going...

    FA Cup 19/20

    Come on dude, think about it. If your lot progress via a replay, then it'll just be you and Northampton in R4. If one goes through and the other goes out, then the team that gets to R5 gets the money. If you both go out in R4, the money is split 50/50. Or, if you lose to Cardiff, Northampton...

    FA Cup 19/20

    Can't deny I'm disappointed. Thought we might do a bit better. The performance sounds respectable, but when you're ending the game with your top creator subbed off, you top scorer out injured and you're best midfielder stuck in defence, it's going to be hard to get back into the game. I'd have...

    Promotion Thread

    Not been bumped in a while, figure it's time. Plymouth and Cheltenham are the big winners, jumping into the top 7 after victories over Scunny and Oldham respectively. Swindon and Bradford draw with each, not a terrible result for either side, both those clubs feel a bit in limbo until the Doyle...

    Now that this game is over with and these 2 don't play each other again, will we see a Doyle resolution sometime next week? Say, before Saturday?

    FA Cup 19/20

    Barnsley at home for us, shaping to be an interesting game. They have a relegation 6 pointer against Huddersfield next weekend so might rest a couple. I'd like to think we can give them a game, just want to avoid a replay. Would rather lose than draw.

    I'd value Wintle at what Westwood went for in 2012. Some will say he hasn't got the same potential, but did anyone see Westy moving to Villa and becoming a PL mainstay for the next 7 years? I'd want nothing less than £1m for Wintle, or at least a high 6 figure fee upfront with plenty of add ons...

    NEW YEAR REPORT

    I echo these comments. This season has been a dream so far, really worried what the next few weeks will hold in the transfer window. I'm naively hoping any departures can be agreed now but put off till the summer to allow this squad to finish what they started, or we can get them back on loan. I...
