Swindon Town vs Crewe Alexandra - Official Match Day Thread

[Ginginho]

The battle of the railway towns!

Crewe, is a medium sized town, described by Bill Bryson as "The armpit of Cheshire".

Interesting facts about Crewe:
Bentley cars are manufactured here.

There is a crater on Mars named the Crewe crater, named after the town.

It is classed as one of the top three "Working class towns" in England, based on a ratio of people to bookmakers, pubs and kebab shops.

They are currently rock bottom of League One. On paper, this should be our easiest game of the season.
So we'll probably get fucking beat.

However, i'm confident of a victory.
2-0, with goals from Obika & Robert.
6,572 with 106 from Cheshire.

1-0 win. Scrappy game. Red card.

[Costanza]

Have to win this one. No excuses.

If we start with tempo and without any ridiculous errors at the back then I will go for a 4-0 to the Town. If we give away another goal I can see it being very difficult to break Crewe down. Here hoping for a win and the game to go ahead if the pitch isn't frozen!

Max temperature forecast today is 3°C.  Could be touch & go.

Play our own game, and the points are ours.

We need and we will win this game - probably 3-0 but for predication purposes I shall opt for 2-0. Lovely day for footy match...

Routine 2-0 win. Goals from Doughty and Obika - crowd 6781

[Posh Red]

We're are bound to win this because I can't make it today

[Reg Smeeton]

 Crewe are a bit similar to us, in that they're a bit better away than at home.  Whereas we've managed to improve the home form recently Crewe haven't, hence rooted in the basement.

Should they win today their away record will be same as ours. 

I'm assuming we had the frost covers on the last couple of nights.....

So an interesting game ahead, what we do know with our side is we're capable of anything from very good to very bad, not only within games, but within runs of games....so no idea, could be anything today, including late postponement.

Hopefully,we can have this match put to bed into the second half so that Jordan Stewart can get a decent run out. Not too confident though but will go for 3-1 Ajose 2 and Robert

[Paul Mason]

Going to be cold in the arkells today but hopefully a good performance and a win will warm the cockles!

Im going for 3-1 with Ajose 2 and Robert 1 and a crowd of 6,967 (cant see Crewe bringing many and cold may also put some peole off)

[FormerlyPlymRed]

Hoping for a 2-0 win today, important to get 3 points

[Ginginho]

Unchanged first XI:
Vigouroux; Barry, Branco (C), Turnbull, Ormonde-Ottewill; Traore, Rodgers, Kasim, Robert; Obika, Ajose

Nathan Thompson makes the bench, no place for Michael Doughty
TOWN SUBS - Belford, Thompson N, Brophy, Balmy, Iandolo, Hylton, Smith

[suttonred]

Doughty ill then. That's a good start.

[horlock07]

Doughty ill then. That's a good start.

Knowing the luck we have had this season he will have come in with something highly contagious and they will all go down with it!
