For me it's always been Bristol City, even if the 82'ers try their best to ignore us. And we don't even play them that often, so where's the logic in that then? Dunno, but that's just how it is with me. My brother, mind, hates Oxford with a vengance. I don't get it, although I'm happy to go...

JJ1532, great post, very interesting read. I forgot that you lot are unlucky enough to have Vale as your rivals, this year's Bristol City on the forums. Trust one of them to pop his head up and have a dig.

1-3 FT, Thomas & (of course) Ajose on the score sheet. I wasn't there, but listening it sounds like Crewe were in it, and on top, for most of the game, and deservedly went ahead. So they can be pretty unhappy about that. But now we have a forward line, promotion challenge here we come.

So Crewe's saviour last season, top scorer with 8 goals in 27 games, comes back on a visit with Swindon (10 goals in 21 games 2013-2014 season). What are the odds on a debut hat-trick?

I expect Swindon to win this 2-0. Sure we have 6 players otherwise engaged, but we can still put out a team, 'course we can: Vigouroux Barry Branco Turnbull BOO Traore Rodgers Obika Robert Stewart Thomas Subs: Belford, Randall, Marshall, Brophy, Ojamaa, Balmy Oh, before I forget, just a few...

If I understand the rules correctly, Stewart doesn't count as he wasn't a Swindon player when called up. I'm not certain on that, perhaps someone more knowledgeable can confirm.

Indeed they did play well, they measured the game to perfection, Adkins influence.

Oh dear, I was right. So just back from the game. Sheff Utd will gain automatic promotion. They are well organised, strong and powerful, big, have good players, and a big squad. They've obviously massively benefited from Adkins. They're nailed on. On to the game itself. If ever the cliche...

I agree with just about all of the above: - we're due a defeat and I think Sheff Utd will be looking for a bit of closure after the play-offs - I'm also tipping Sheff Utd for automatic promotion and will be happy for them when it happens - not only This Charming Mike, but the local media too...

Arrgghh! Where's Tom when you need him?

I must admit, it's a real head scratcher. I've always had a soft spot for Vale. I mean, they're from Stoke but not Stoke, so that counts for something. Their ground is a proper old fashioned ground, the sort I like, and gives you a real feeling that you're at a match, rather than an...

Sounds like Southend were unlucky, Cooper saying we were fortunate to win. I'll take a flukey three points any day.

Yawn. I was wondering which bunch of idiots we'd have to put up with now that Bristol City have thankfully left the division. Didn't take long for Vale to fill the gap.

A historic day. Vale get a point at Swindon.

Reckon we'll lose this one 1-2. Our luck will run out and Vale will record their first win at the County Ground since 1953, or something.

Funny old game. Dave Hockaday on the radio was saying the second Bury goal was a foul, and if the game went on another 5 minutes we'd have won. But Bury fans don't get upset: he was also saying Bury should have buried (sorry!) the game in the first half and never given us the opportunity to get...

Out of interest, what was the bid for Goldson?

What? The roundabout, mate. The fucking roundabout in front of the ground. It's more than decent! :mad:

A mixed write-up with factual errors (mixing the Thompson brothers up), mistakes (Brandon Ormande-Ottewill was signed as first choice left-[wing]-back, not Jordan Williams, biggest risk is losing Byrne, not Smith or Kasim) and missing the glaringly obvious, namely that the Chairman, Manager and...

Ronald McDonald could present it from a circus for all I care; it's on at 9pm and it doesn't have Manish patronising us. Thumbs up from me.
