Swindon Town v Notts County Official Matchday Thread

[Tails]

This is the sort of game we usually slip up in. Doing well in the league, terrific home form against a shite side who will set out to defend. Not feeling too confident, although if we can play our game we could, potentially, win quite comfortably.

I'm going to go for 1-1.

[4D]

7-1. Confidence lads 

[Peter Venkman]

We could win easily given their form, but as Tails says this is the sort of game that we often fuck up on, that said, there is a belief in the town from the players and fans and if we hit them from the off they can not cope with how good a side we are.

Not sure it will be a very big crowd, probably about 7,215 with about 225 Maggies there.

I see on ther forum the old "disgraceful £25 entry" rears its head again, yes it is a lot of money for a league one game but if you look at the Notts site a comparable seat there is £24, just £1 less and you get to watch shit football and not the silky smooth football that you pay that extra quid for at the CG.

Predictions from them.....a lot of them very confident they can beat us or at least get a draw.

Should be a win. At home, got rid of our bugbear on the road, mason back, we should tear them a new one.

3-0. About 6995 with 212 making the trip from County. Someone told me the other day (a Forest fan...) that County and Forest actually get on alright for two teams from the same place. Is this true? It can't be surely...

Looking forward to this tonight. Not making the mistake of sitting near forwards man again either, sat in the DRS.

3-0 to us.

So about 7,000 then?

No, ABOUT 6995. The vagueness is precise!

[Nomoreheroes]

Should theoretically be a home banker. A comfortable 2-0 or 3-0. But, I don't think it will be!

[Notts red]

Still have a soft spot for my home town club but not enough to stop me hoping we turn them over. Theyll no doubt attempt to park the bus and frustrate us so the earlier we score the better. Good to hear Mason is in contention.

[Tails]

Notts County fans seem to have the same preconception as every other club in the league.. That we had financial trouble and sold all our best players & therefore aren't a strong side. Which may have been true, except for the fact we probably have some of the best individual talents in the league.

I said yesterday it might not be a wise idea to start Mason, but given his fantastic ability to create something or well, score from anywhere, he could be key against a side who I predict will sit back and try and hit us on the counter.

OOOONE OF UUUUUUUUUS

Yeah, I always get nervous before a match like this that we should win-history has taught us otherwise. Stupid Swindon and your propensity for losing matches you should win...

I think bringing him on would be better- presuming we play the same team from the Rotters game, it'd be great to have the option of a fresh mason against a non-fresh County defence/midfield.

Think we'll give a good hiding to these bastads! 2-1 to us in front of 7629, and a few beers in the TE bar once again! C.O.Y.Rs!!!

[Bathtime]

Liking the evening games especially this one which will be a home win without question - hoping it won`t be as dull as the Tranmere game so my expectation is high - 2-0 or even 3-0. Will look at odds on Ranger scoring first with these final scores...bring it on.

[Gnasher]

Feeling confident, which is never a good thing. 5-0

That's a bit tame, from you.
