    ... and another intriguing game watching the Lads.

    Can we beat Swindon, can we catch up more ground, can we keep this run going?

    Err yeah, of course we can ...


    ... haway Lads, 5-0 and back on course after our mini-blip.

    I imagine they’ll play with a bit more enthusiasm. <laugh>
    I liked LJ’s comment about the half time talk being beyond the hairdrier treatment. It was that bad.
    There will be an improvement on Tuesday.

    Even if we'd lost 2-0 I'd have been happy to have written it off as a learning experience and expected us to win the next game, the fact we fought our way back gives me even more confidence. I don't know how the season is going to end but I'm sure that whatever happens we won't bottle it.

    We came from 2 behind, wasnt sure this lot were capable of that.
    (I may stop thinking of them as 'this lot' after that!)
    Despite the 2 pts dropped, am probs more confident we'll go up.

    this season is not as tough as 2 seasons ago we will win the play offs this season but could still catch Lincoln to finish 2nd, Peterborough look as though they will be champions, Hull on and off should catch them, Pompey we go there to win i reckon to be ****e and get a point takes some doing.

    Swindon on paper should be a walk in the park, but will the players turn up, today half the first team at the start were somewhere else upstairs. These **** performances when the supporters need the players to step up to the plate, only lead to animosity creeping in, So Tue i will dust this disappointment off and get behind the lads, however another **** performance like the first half today, will reap what they have sown and will be subject to justified criticism where and when needed, some performances you would think they didn't want promotion

    Portsmouth are the next team we can get above, they're at Doncaster on Tuesday and a point above us. I'd like a Doncaster win even though some might prefer a draw.. We just have to find a way to pick up points in every game.

    Be interested to see if he makes many changes. Did he say Flanagan was a week away when interviewed midweek? Might we see the LOch Ness Monster, Ross Stewart make an appearance? Hopefully Tuesday wil signify the end of the 'O'Nien as a central defender' experiement
    Think I'd go:

    Burge
    McLaughlin Sanderson Flanagan Vokins
    Scowen O'Nien Power
    Jones Wyke McGeady​

    Subs: Matthews, Younger, Winchester, Maguire, Diamond, O'Brien, Stewart

    Be nice if we go into the Pompey game seeing it as "must not lose" rather than "Must win". Avoid defeat there and Hull and we definitely have a chance

    These next two home games are huge

    Just noticed Ollie Rathbone was sent off for Rochdale yesterday so should miss our game. He is by far their best player

    They had a wake up call yesterday mate. No room for complacency. Don't expect a lackluster start to the game on Tuesday. I fully expect us to collect 6 points this week, and can't wait to see where that takes us.
    I'm in the second camp mate. I think it's better that two of our rivals drop two points each, than one drop 3. Looking forward to seeing the table at Saturday tea-time cos I think we'll be right in among it.

    Lets just be at it from the 1st minute and keep it up the whole game. Saturday proved we have the squad to chop n change as needed.

    I just want us to give somebody a hammering although once again a 1-0 will do. 6 points is a must in the next 2 games and is dooable. This then takes a little bit pressure off the Pompey game.

    It's a hard call isn't.

    I think Portsmouth have a better chance of keeping in touch with us but who can tell ...

    ... a draw wouldn't be a bad result but, of course, we need to win.

    We’re going to win this one 6-0

    Nothing against Swindon, just a gut feeling a team is about to take an absolute beating

    I called the Crewe draw 2-2 too so I’m basically the oracle

    One of the few things I like about league is a game every 3 days or so (when we are doing well that is).

    LJ has licence to change his starting 11. For me I would find a way to have Maguire, Jones and McGeady all in the team and McFadzean not. Let's go all attack and blast teams away.
