Has RCC been playing since his move?

Nope, on the subs bench each time.

Oniony though

He'll be minty fresh, all his shots go into Orbit. (groan)

 

[skybluetony176]

I'm going for a 2-0 loss

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

To which he'll reply 'Are you receiving me?'

A win at Swindon? Wake Up! Only the Mayor of Simpleton would expect that. A draw would be Respectable Street. I'd Like That, but would be Stupidly Happy with a win and the boys would be feeling Ten Feet Tall. But it's early in the Season's Cycle so a draw away would do. Hopefully we won't be coming away The Disappointed like we usually do. It could be a Complicated Game, but as long as our midfield isn't at Cross Wires and sitting too deep, we can get the attacking Rythm going like the second half Saturday, play the game on the Grass and strike Gold.


We don't have any players called Nigel.

Chris Marsden was a great player...still annoys me we weren't prepared to pay a paltry sum for him. His career after us speaks for itself. He was pure underrated class.

wasn't that the game on sky, and they missed the andy mutch goal due to technically issue ?

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

That 1-1 at home was the game Chris Marsden had a fantastic game and we played them off the park (not being sarcastic, but it was the biggest
1-1 thrashing think I've ever seen!)

I remember that as the one where the delays were so bad outside that eventually they let us in for a fiver cos we'd missed loads. Was still an enjoyable game though and Marsden was sublime. Was gutted when we didn't sign him up. If my memory is correct, Wegerle had a good match too and scored, no doubt benefiting from having a central midfielder feeding him who could actually pass the ball.

For me he ranked alongside Willie Carr, Denis Mortimer, Gerry Daly, Stuart Robson and Dean Emmerson ..some, of the best midfielders we ever had.

Not really. He didn't play in the top flight again until 6 years after he left us!

 

[Nick]

Not feeling as confident this evening, hopefully I'll be wrong though.

Quick question. Genuine. Seems a mission to find a radio station that either commentates the match or find 94.8. I've tried FM radio apps but they don't have 94.8 on. Can anyone suggest anything that works?

Are you in the area? If not, you need to use I follow.

Not very intimidating and that carpet could do with a good clean too.

Was that his last game for us before we screwed up and lost out, and then spent the cash on one game wonder Sandy Robertson. :banghead:

Back to tonight, lets get at least a point!

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Anyone else gridlocked on M5 on way down? Lorry fire aparrently

 

[vow]

 

[Esoterica]

Cool. Hope he keeps DKE out wide. I like that set up better away from home when we can counter quickly down both wings. Think it will help to balance the deep CMs.

 

[Nick]

Same as we finished, hopefully we will get at them from the off.

 

[vow]

Big Max starts, good to see Dion KE back in the fold.
Feel a bit sorry for Hyam as he played v well the first 2-3? games, has he been injured at all or just down the pecking order?

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

My train gets in at 7.30, can someone help me on how long is the walk to the ground?

He was signed as development and then got his chance through injuries. Think he's 4th choice behind Davies.

 

[sw88]

Hope Biamou gets a goal or two tonight!

Are you thinking it's 4-4-2? I think MR (unfortunately) is gonna play his usual 4-2-3-1 with Nazon just behind Biamou.
Would like to see it 4-4-2 though with Kelly in a slightly advanced position in the middle.

On a side note, Hussey is out for them, so that's one less goal to worry about, although seem to remember that Matty Taylor always scores against us?

From their website......From the front of the station turn left onto Station Road. Facing the White House pub, head right onto Corporation Street.

At the traffic lights turn left onto Manchester Road. At the end of Manchester Road turn right onto County Road.

The entrance to the stadium is the second left. This walk should take approximately 10 minutes.

The County Ground is walkable from Swindon Railway Station and will take you around 10-15 minutes. Leave the station, cross the road and proceed up the road between the two pubs (Great Western and Queen's Tap), continue to end of road. Turn left, proceed along Manchester Road, through traffic lights as far as you can go. At the junction turn right. The County Ground is about 300 yards up this road on the left.

[oucho]

That's the XI I'd go with

15 mins at a brisk walk!

Thanks to John Bishop for providing me with the directions.

 

[capel & collindridge]

It's about half a mile. Go down Wellington Street opposite the station and follow Manchester Road past the bus station till it meets County Road.

Funnily enough I asked my missus to just get me a drink and she came back with some fizzy, orangey stuff.

I said 'What is this?' And she replied 'This is Pop.'

 

[torchomatic]

Biamou will score tonight.

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

I came by train.
10-15 minute walk. If you follow signs you will make it.

 

[skybluegod]

Yep Biamou to score along with another from Nazon. Think it will be 2-1 City

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

We hammered them. Should have been 7-1 minimum. Remember hearing Alan Green on radio after game saying richly deserved equaliser.
All respect I might have had for him evaporated there and then.

 

[sw88]

Biamou will score tonight.

We can’t all be wrong, can we?

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

We have a bad record against them. 4th game in three years for me tonight. I think I will recognise 3 players Willis,budge and Jones. A bit like Watford away 82/83.

 

[Otis]

We can’t all be wrong, can we?

Yeah, all both of you can't be wrong.

 

[Marty]

2-0 win biamou and Kelly.
