Xmas points total

[Stef Troll]

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

Errrr......  :roll: I missed Forest and Yeovil while I was recovering from my op, so tragically thats very true! I can't remember when I last saw Town win other than City! 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!

5 points says the man from piemonte

 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!

How about if i gave you the oppurtunity to start supporting Oxford or Bristol City.  If you have the same affect on them,   then everyone's a winner

Then you and Si Pi would have to find another chaffeur to the games!

On your way to Bristol, you could drop us of in Swindon    With you being a good mate and all

Hmmm..... I need a witty response!!

Though, if we win on Saturday though and I'm not there, I guess questions might be asked!  :roll:

Well i can't see us winning on Saturday,  but Monday is another matter completely

26th Dec Colchester Home - I can't see us getting anything
28th Dec Chesterfied Away - Lucky to get a point let alone 3
31st Dec Swansea Home - Thrashed nil point
2nd Jan Hartlepool Away - Lucky again to get a point

[RobertT]

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.

[land_of_bo]

We will beat Swansea
Colchester will be a draw
Chesterfield and Hartlepool will beat us

4 points

Best get and do the predictions!

[adje]

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.

[larwood]

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.

[Stef Troll]

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
