I can't remember ever beating Swindon at home, not looking forward to Saturday. Proper bogey side

Just think. 25 years ago this was a PL game.

Just think. 25 years ago this was a PL game.

25 years ago was 92/93!

 

[Indian Dan]

I know. What’s your point?

 

[Conker]

Shows how much the Premier League has improved.

 

[rudebwoyben]

I know. What’s your point?

That you are inaccurate in your point as Swindon weren't in the Premier League in 92/93.

 

[Indian Dan]

But we were 93/94 which was 25 years ago. Fuck me, how can you quibble over a year.

 

[william death]

Our games with Luton & Coventry were top flight ones in the 90s, and all but one of the four will have bigger attendances this season than back then (and the other, Cov away, only had 300 less this year)!

But that's not 25 years ago! That match wasn't even 24 years ago..
Anyway, I'd rather quibble over a year than think about the prospect of having Graham Westley as our manager.

 

[dedwardp]

I imagine these are the sorts of discussions Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Swansea and Brighton fans will be having in 25 years.

Feb 1994 til now is 23 years, 11 months and 2 weeks. Are you in a time warp or something

 

[william death]

Good news for us this afternoon with Forest confirming they have no plans to recall Jorge Grant.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Needed that news after the disappointing Yates departure who is perfect for L2

 

[AdamStag]

Have I really just read a whole page over where Swindon were in the PL 23/24 or 25 years ago?

Slow night lads?

 

[Indian Dan]

3 posts. Don’t exaggerate. I’ve told you a million times.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Back on topic

We have Notts away, then a week off, then Luton away, then Wycombe at home.
By the end of that it's possible we could be well off the pace.
Anyone got a centre back?

Watch out lads we're coming for you........

Completely fucking clueless.

My aim is to be a millionaire by the end of the year. Better to have aims than not, however unrealistic

Is he on some sort of medication or crack ?
After all he said Sam Kelly was a strong player

 

[BelizeHatter]

Two automatic promotion spots wide open now after today's results. 5 points between autos and 10th

 

[Luke Imp]

Poor day for us, results wise. Focus needs to be our performance, though.

We seem to give teams a head start in away games before we decide to turn up. Today, Exeter, Stevenage, Barnet, Colchester, Cheltenham, Crewe. Can't be going into losing positions as many times as that.

 

[thewwfc]

we're still in the mix, can't really expect much better than that.

 

[mowgli]

With our injury problems we have to be happy where we are in 4th only 2 points behind 2nd placed Notts County.

 

[Kenneth E End]

8 points clear of 4th, effectively 9 with GD.

Anyone going to put in a challenge to us?

 

[AdamStag]

Another win for us however late, unbeaten in 7.

Wonder if Notts are starting to choke.

Nah, just a poor selection today that Nolan will hopefully learn from. Bad day for us but great chance to put it right with a run of eight games against 9th or lower. Positive today was Liam Noble, who played the kind of incisive balls we haven't really seen this season.

Still 8 points Kenny.

I think if anybody does threaten you, it’s going to be Exeter or Mansfield.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Exeter seem to be as inconsistent as anyone else in and around the play off places.

And its 9 points regardless, because 8 into 3 games don't go.

Somebody is going to rally, who would you have your money on?
