Take out the 5-2 scoreline ( sheff ) and they are just better at home scoring than conceding VERDICT local Derby AND A DRAW WOULD GOOD RESULT
A very tough nut, I agree a draw would be ok but a win would be magnificent, I am positive but I think we are heading for a draw, Cotts, I hope will pull off one of his miracles, Up the City..
Be interesting to see how our proper team will react at Swindon after our reserves have potentially been knocked out of two cup competitions in the intervening period. To be honest I would be quite happy out of both cups and because of how the fixtures have fallen we can make 5 or 6 changes for Gillingham and then change the rest for Wimbledon without breaking any rules
TEND TO AGREE, WIN EVERYTHING and just sit back with relief when we lose the first league game..................
At Ashton Gate last season, Swindon were a tough team to play. Niggly fouls, petty little interruptions, time wasting right from the start. Anything to break up the flow of the game. It probably will not be any different this time but with one exception in that they are at home and their crowd may get at them if they don't attack us all the time. I think we will catch them on the break a couple of times to win 2-0.
