[JJ1990]

Newport are in big trouble. Just have no quality about them in any area it seems. if either of the bottom 2 get their shit together, then I wouldn't bet on Newport staying up.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Thought Swindon were much the better team 2nd half. Newport have one or two capable players but they look very soft at the back and really struggled at times.

 

[valefan16]

Said it last week and could say the same in September when we played them but Newport defensively are one of the poorest I’ve seen at this level, could of had 7 or 8 in both fixtures.

If Carlisle or Morecambe get some form they could be in big trouble

 

[valefan16]

What's Pepple like? Capable of leading the line?

Think it will be a tough game for us but with a fully fit squad we should be decent opposition.

Our subs bench tomorrow should be ridiculous with the full squad available, likely Byers, Chislett, Ronan Curtis, Tom Sang and Rico Richards on there.

Positive signs for us in having those options finally.

Would like to see us stick with 3-5-2 and go with:

Amos

John
Smith
Hall

Clark
Croasdale
Garrity
Harper
Headley

Stockley
Tolaj

Throw Byers on for last 30 for Harper. On paper probably the strongest we’ve looked all season assuming no new injuries, hopefully translate that onto the pitch.

 

[Gassy]

Seen Swindon have picked up results here and there, but seeing them really climb out of the battle is quite impressive.

I really thought Holloway was a terrible appointment and at the beginning that looked to be holding true, but fair play to him

I'd go with that team too. What Moore actually picks is a different story!

When we were top by 5 points, we generally had the players available that we do now, so hopefully that strength in depth will stand us in good stead again.

We need to keep this mini run going.

Yeah he's an absolute rambling west country yokel, but he's picked up points and turned our season around, fair play.

I thought the same, thought his time had passed but he's doing a pretty good job.

 

[GTFCfish]

Swindon should be relegated immediately for letting that Charlatan Hudlin score against them.

 

[codaplenty]

After 2 good wins against good opposition, Fleetwood have the opportunity to make it 3 in a row with Carlisle the visitors tomorrow. If we play to the standard of the last couple of matches we can win. Anything less we will struggle. Carlisle have nothing to lose and everything to gain from Saturday, new players have been brought in and they will be, or should be determined to make a point, or three......

[markus007]

Another disinterested 2nd half performance. Swindon were functional, worked harder collectively and that was enough. I can't see Jardim lasting

 

[ROVERS⚽️]

You always play better against us, I don’t think we’ve scored against you in the League yet

We certainly haven’t at home, we lost 3-1 away last season and threw a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 under Scholfield at there place, but that’s about it goal wise. 1 draw and 4 defeats makes them our current bogey team, arguably alongside Newport. They do tend to be close games though, they are a decent team in all fairness, i think Sharp may be important tomorrow. Big 3 points if we can get back to back league wins, would be some much needed momentum at last DearneValleyRover but I won’t hold my breath.

 

[leedsvaliant]

I only saw him against Grimsby but thought he did well considering it was his first start in the league for us. Pretty much everything that went up to him stuck, and he seemed to bring others in to play well.

Yet to be seen what sort of a goal threat he will be, but the early signs are promising. He’ll definitely give your centre halves something more to think about than Drummond did at your place when he came on for the injured Grigg in the first half.

Hopefully he puts in one of those 'inexperienced young loan player ' performances and not turn into Drogba!

I'd hope that Smith with all his horrible shithousery will get under his skin!

 

[クレイグ]

Good morning. We're going to get battered today. Least it's an early kick off.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Ian Holloway proving quite a few wrong. Happy to see Swindon comfortably move away from the drop. Big U-turn.

 

[Kauto Star]

Really looking forward to the game, however, hate the early kick offs

From what I have been reading about you guys recently it was always going to be about staying in the game until the 60th minute and then you would "blow up" and so it proved. Tranmere at home on Tuesday and Carlisle away on Saturday. Both winnable which would be 4 on the trot and only 1 defeat in 10. Playoffs anyone?

Not a fan either. Obviously worse for the away fans. Much prefer a night game these days.

Saturday 3pm still my preference. Not a fan of midweek games unless a big cup tie such as Arsenal, Villa and Leeds in recent years. Atmosphere for run of the mill league 2 games played in midweek tends to be poor

Oh, I agree. The 3 PM kickoff is superior in every single way.

But I work over the road from VP and I finish at 7 which is perfect for a lazy sod like me!

 

[BlackCountrySaddler]

A tough game for us today, we always seem to struggle away to Bradford.

A win would be 10 in a row but I would take the point now.

 

[Meadow]

Strong lineup for us.

[SaddlerJonny]

No Jellis in the squad, which is a big blow.

Hppefully injured because the CEO has been steadfast on assuring us no one will be sold this window.

 

[Wootball]

Home vs Accrington. Nothing except three points is good enough today.

 

[saddler78]

No midfielder on the bench due to injuries reinforcement needed in that position

 

[Scum.]

Lindsey has made a few changes for us, including Nathan Thompson going straight into our defence (Sherring dropped and Maguire still injured).

Probably our best possible line up. No excuses.

 

[BarraMatt]

That Crowley looks shit. I'd imagine he will be sold at half time.

 

[JJ1990]

Jay Williams with a nasty tackle, shock. Not a red, but not a clever challenge either.

He’s a walking red card. And I’ve only seen him play twice.

Though ironically we needed that type of spite in our team. We have been too soft. That’s why we signed him. And presumably Thompson too.
