The fat lady is in full voice for Swindon, we are as good as down, Bradford are there or there abouts, but need to be a bit more consistent. With 3500 away fans cheering on the mighty robins................ in my dreams 350 is nearer to the truth, i can imagine we will suffer again at the back. 4-1 Bradford

Wouldn't write Swindon off, we were doing quite well playing 2 wingers and 2 strikers but Alex Gilliead is effectively out for the season which will mean Nicky Law will come back in and we'll go back to having about 70% possession but not creating any decent chances.

Some decent results of late, but we always seem to follow these up with a dissapointing home draw so 1-1 probably.

Just like us , possession is what we are good at, but we have to play out from the back, and we are always liable to make mistakes in our back 4 , as for scoring goals , well our top scorer is Obika with 5 goals then the prolific Luke Norris on 4.....yep we are full of goals!
If you use any type of wide player you could be in goal scoring heaven

I'm guessing Marshall will play who's been decent on the wing this season. The other three midfielders will look good but not really make a lot of stuff happen. I'd take a 1-0. I doubt we will stick many goals past you so you'll be in the game for 90 mins. If your players are up for a scrap then as I said I wouldn't write you off. You always seem to have a decent record against us as well.

Should be a home win but don't think we've beaten Swindon since like the late 90's? Optimistic 2-0 tomorrow, Wyke to score again but fully expect us to make hard work of it

Appalling by Swindon, no nothing what they did against us but against their own fans. No way they gave 100% most gutless team to come to VP this season by a long way, little effort at times and they didn't seem to give a toss, feel sorry for the Swindon fans if that's what they have to watch every week.

Score line flattered them, we should have been 3 or 4 up before they scored. But when they do take the lead, the players should be putting their bodies on the line to hold onto it. Looked like they were more interested in getting out of there as soon as possible, Swindon used to have a decent team, what the hell happened?

Spot on - plus Luke Williams. All Power is interested in is skimming a profit - hence the cheap option of Williams.

Williams has zero experience of 'grown up' football being a youth coach - and he brings the 'result doesn't matter' attitude to it.

The players take the piss - and, apparently, going on it - they have no respect and should be fucking ashamed to pick up a wage.

This time next year we'll be staring non league in the face.

Brilliant post my friend. This has been what we have had to tolerate pretty much all season. I've been beating this drum for a while now but the players lack fitness, fight, interest, desire, heart, will to win, I could go on and on.

I actually hate this current team but I kind of don't blame them as our management team is inept and about as inspirational as a shitty nappy.

This season has been disgusting and the sooner it ends the better. I read on the vale v Shrewsbury match Fred how much they love their club, based on the way they are giving their all to stay up. Well at the moment I hate everything about Swindon. Of course I'll support them until I pop my clogs but currently I'd rather sit in my pjs and scratch my balls on a Saturday than go and watch our current excuse of a 'team'. A group of can't be arsed individuals who should be charged with fraud.

We should have been 4-0 up when Swindon scored, thought it was gonna be 'one of those days' when they did but as above they have zero fucks about defending the lead when they went ahead so we eventually broke through.

How is Wyke doing well for you? He is conference standard at best, worst striker we ever had and I'm so glad we got rid of him.

He will stop scoring soon enough!

Hilarious, did you think the same with Wells? Keep them coming, have you got anymore strikers we can have that are as bad as Wyke? Because we are happy to take them off your hands, judging by your current form I'd guess no.

LOOK we are a BIGGER and BETTER club than you so of course you can have more of our rejects because we are going to get PROMOTED to L1 and then next season WE ARE GOING TO FUCKING RELEGATE YOU TO L2.

Haven't you lost 4 in a row without scoring? You'd be our perfect replacement.

You must have had a bit to much to drink last night mate, still it provides some good entertainment. You'll get to watch big Charlie live next Sunday 12:30 save it in your calendar, I know you won't want to miss a player of his quality.

It's actually 6 games without scoring BUT you can still get positive results without scoring.

In all seriousness I think he's really good. His hold up play is much better than Hanson's and his one touch lay offs bring the tempo up in the final third which is what we've missed at times this season.

I don't want to compare him to Hanson but he's so much better it's unbelievable. We just need to hang the ball up to the back post a lot more for him to attack because he looks a threat everytime that happens.

He's probably similar levels to Hanson in the air. But whereas that was pretty much Hanson's only string to his bow, Wyke has a better all round game. Seems weird to me that Sheff Utd didn't just cut out the middle man and sign Wyke, but obviously glad they didn't.

Alex Jones starting to look decent as well.

The more Wyke and Jones play together the better they'll become as a partnership.They have only played together a few times but the potential is there for all to see.
