Swindon vs Latics

[Hurrikeen]

Tough game coming up against a side that are a punters dream for goals galore.

Iversen

Hunt - Clarke - Edmundson - Taylor

Missilou - Gardner

Branger - Baxter* - Nepomuceno

Surridge​

*Probably O'Grady unfortunately

I have a feeling we may come unstuck here, but I'll remain optimistic and go for an entertaining 2-2.

Good record here and with people talking about our 8 month unbeaten away record as well it all adds up to defeat.
No real reason to think that though. It all adds up to nothing more than paper talk.

I like the way bunn is going about things personally. We ain't prolific enough but if the midfield can start chipping in to help sturridge out, we should start winning more consistently. Especially if and when Baxter finds form and fitness again.

As for Swindon I don't really know much about them other than they ship goals looking at the table. I'd probably take a point here but we are more than capable of taking 3.

1-0 surridge

You always seem to do well at our place and I'm expecting a close game. We were beyond horrendous in our last home game v Bury, then last weekend was the best we've played for ages to stuff Yeovil.

Doughty should be back in for Saturday which is a massive plus. We've, hopefully, stopped the comedy goal giveaways and I'm with you on a 2-2 entertaining game.

Toughie for me this ,last week we played a side who had a good record at our place and ended up drawing this week we playing at a ground that we got a good record at so I’m hoping for at least a draw but good and bad records do come to an end eventually so basically I ain’t got a clue

My second home game of the season. If its as entertaining as the first (Tranmere) then all who attend are in for a treat.

No doubt we'll start slowly and come into the game, I'll go for a score draw.

 

[hold'um Oldham]

So everyone is backing the draw except for me. But then again I do have us down to win every game so that's no surprise. I'm wrong a lot

Just seen the team so here’s a revised prediction.

Swindon 3-0 Latics

 

[Simpo]

We've only conceded 1 goal away from home this season, decent.

 

[Attila the hun]

Settle for that

 

[Hurrikeen]

Sounds like Swindon were the better team without really threatening too much, but we were robbed of a (likely) stoppage time goal when fouled by the last man.

Not really a fag paper between the two sides. I thought Oldham were organised and defended brilliantly the whole game. We didn’t create a single clear cut chance and whenever we got into a half decent position, defenders would block, head away corner after corner. They were absolutely awful going forward but we didn’t do enough to win and both teams cancelled each other out a bit.

Matt Taylor deserved to be sent off. Oldham broke as we pushed for a winner after a long throw into their box was cleared and Taylor clipped the guy’s heels on the half way line, just as well as I doubt very much he would have caught him! There was a bit of a melee and Sid Nelson and an Oldham player received yellow cards but that was where the excitement ended.

I think both sets of fans will probably be content with a point.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Definitely lacking up top when Surridge is injured.

 

[hold'um Oldham]

Given surridge is out and Baxter not fit I'll take that. Deffo need to do something in January if we are to push on
