Well i have a friend who goes to a fair few Swindon games . Every time he watches Swindon we lose or draw. The 1 time i went with him, we won. I think hes not going to the boxing day game, so if we win, then i will have to persudade him not to go to any more Town games. Sounds fair, right Mace

Thats not good! As for Boxing Day, I've promised the girlfriend but come the morning of a frantic dash up from Guildford isn't out of question!

We play better against the teams that are perceived to be better than us That would be just about every team in the league then After Blackpool that would seem right, so perhaps we've a better second half of the season to look forward too!

I'd be happy with 1 more point than 4 of the 4 or 6 teams above us. That way we will have continued to claw them back, and maybe pass 1 or 2.

I ve got a feeling we are going to witness a performance similar to when we beat Wigan a few seasons ago when they were bombing our division.So Im going for a narrow victory-only trouble is we've got no one as near as good as Dan Invincibile,who tore Wigan apart that day.

Didnt say we'd get 12, just id be happy if we did. I think all of us would.
Its just the way you casually said i'd be "happy with 12 points" Like its an almost reasonable thing to expect,whan it is in fact the understatement of the year .I'd give up booze at Christmas if it would mean we'd get 12 points.

Ok with 4 games in 8 days, its an important time to grab as many points as possible So from the next 4 games, i was just wondering (1) How many points you think Swindon will manage to get realistically (2) How many points you would be happy with 26th Dec Colchester Home 28th Dec Chesterfied Away 31st Dec Swansea Home 2nd Jan Hartlepool Away From the 4 games, i think Swindon will probably get 5 points. I think we will beat Colchester at home, because they will come to Swindon and attack and not just sit back. This will enable Swindon to play more counter attacking football, and wont simply have to break teams down. I think we will draw against Chesterfield, followed by a draw at home to Swansea. We will then probably lose to Hartlepool as its a bitch to travel to, and we always seem to lose there ! However i would be happy with 7 or more points from these 4 games. With such a small squad, there will be chopping and changing, and injuries. 2 wins, and a draw from the next 4 would do us nicely. 12 points and i will be Well so far so good in terms of my prediction However, having watched the Colchester game, and listened to the Swansea and Chesterfield games on the radio, it seems we have improved in leaps and bounds. The defence seems to be more solid these days, and we dont look like conceding every time a team goes forward. However going forward we seem to be struggling, but as long as we pick up points, im happy
