Swindon v Hartlepool matchday thread

[Andy King]

Today marks my return to the County Ground, albeit from the directors box. Hopefully 3 points and a cheeky cigar at half time.

[Stef Troll]

We will take the lead either at half time or by the 70 minute mark.  Hartlepool will then equalise late on and the game will end up 1-1.

People will then contact Radio Wilts (like they did against Rochdale and Dag + Red) saying that we should have won the game (even though in both games the draw was the fair result).

People will then complain about Hart and his nagative tactics, which will then lead to people questioning Fitton.

Hopefully we will win, but cant see it making a difference as we are still shit and will get relegated. 

[Ardiles]

Realistically, we need 5 points from this game if we're going to stay up.

A shock 3-0 win today!!!

2-1 and a win at Brentford to give us false hope.

STFC always offers false hope before snatching it away at the last minute. Its the law.

[stfcinbmth]

1-0 cos a win is long overdue

[Sussex]

A comfortable win today. What could possibly go wrong.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Agreed. Can't see anything other than 3 points.

3-0 Andrew, Grella, Ritchie.

[Spencer_White]

Hartlepool win. I think up until now the players have still been trying hard, but Exeter may have been a turning point. Weve been competing and having close games up until now, this could be the start of things really falling apart.

[Batch]

Agreed Spence. Hart will have to earn is money to keep them motivated and up for a fight.

I think Exeter could be the tipping point from the fans too. It could get ugly today if things go wrong. There is only so much shit people will put up with and to be honest the players have got off reasonably lightly this season. That said maybe the long realisation that we are going down has just sucked the 'fight' out us all.

agree with this, plus hartlepool are a better team than us 2.1 defeat

[thedarkprince]

We'll draw and all the other teams around us will win.  Good night Vienna.

[mrverve]

Anything other than a win and the board have to stop worrying about this season and get a new manager in ready for next season. Give him the rest of this season to try out the youngsters, different players etc. in preperation for the inevitable mass clear out that's to come after Prenton Park.

A dreadful season which is compounded by the optimism that all of us shared in July. Truly abismal from start to finish.

[chalkies_shorts]

Another defeat 2 nil. Hartleppol have got a fair record at our ground recently.
Because I'm an adult I intend to remain seated when the teams come out and IF we score a goal I will remain seated rather than do my demented chimp routine. It will be a protest of Ghandi proportions.

[Crispy]

First time in a long time i've felt positive.

I'm thinking of taking my flag.. Do you think the club will let me set up on the Adkins family stand?
