Poxford v Swindon pre match chat and matchday thread

[Super Hans]

I've been useless all morning thinking about this game. Not sure how to pass the next three hours.

Alcohol is your friend.

Steve Robinson definitely had a cameo in one of my dreams last night. Not sure how to interpret that comment.

Interpret as you wish.  : )

Always had a soft spot for Steve R.  Only time I ever saw us take all the points at the Manor (leaving aside a mid-week Hoddle era Reserve game when we stuffed them 5-0).

I see their Ox has been spray painted again.

Colour scheme this time?

Colour scheme this time?

Just a red STFC on it.

Going to the pub this morning and ordering the beans on toast plus 4 or 5 pints to wash it down with probably isn’t going to work.
Will have to utilise the latest delivery from Lilley’s splendid online shop to settle the pre match nerves instead.
A couple of bottles of Gladiator should do the trick.

Watching Town play on 2nd round FA Cup day will be a novel experience.

I remember the Steve Robinson close range volley to seal the win in 2001.
Most of the loose change went flying out of the jacket pocket during the course of the celebration.

The point has been well made that it’s the fans that make derby games what they are, which is true.
However, the players should still be aware that this game does mean a bit more to the fans even though we can’t be there.
The team has the opportunity (or should that be responsibility) to cheer a fair few people up over this weekend which is important.
Go on, you can do it. Make us happy.

Wouldn't bother going today Bob, that rule doesn't come into affect until the 2nd of December, like you absolutely love the Gladiator though the last 5L I bought was as murky mud on the last pint, when I commented on it the next time the guy serving said 'yeah, it's always like that ' he didn't give a shit, so for me it was straight back onto the dark cider.

Will be listening in whilst battering the punch bag in my garage 

Surely you haven't locked her in the garage again ??.

Got a good feeling about this one today,  defence tightened, DJ And Smith back, nailed on 3 points.  2-1 to the Town.

Not sure I would start with DJ but definately start with Tyler and bring on DJ later for an impact.

Things are looking up with the injured players at last.

Ooooh! A deleted post!

Yep it was, some people didn't like it so I deleted it.

Let’s have no handbags please. This is a proper forum for proper people.

TBH I don't think todays match will need my inane ramblings anyway, I would think everyone that wants to will be watching today via iFollow.
