The Sulphurites biggest goal threats are leading scorer and tall striker Luke Armstrong with 9 goals, experienced striker Jack Muldoon with 6 goals (45 goals from 130 games for them) and attacking midfielder Alex pattison with 6 goals.
I have watched all the highlights of every game they have played and they do keep the ball down and not a hoofball team and they are very direct with passing exposing defences with defence splitting passes and their side has several pretty quick attacking players, especially down the wings.
They get the ball into the box with speed as often as they can and Armstrong pressures defenders into mistakes.
At the back they themselves look susceptible to low crosses and their big old unit of a keeper the 31 year old Mark Oxley seems pretty ponderous in getting down for low shots and has made a few fumbles in tha games so far that have cost them goals.

Met Office have issued a warning for snow tomorrow morning for Swindon. Probably not enough to call off the game but it'll make it extra cold in the stands!

Planning to bring my daughter (5) tomorrow for her first ever game. Worried the weather might defeat us if it's as cold/windy/snowy as forecast!

Good job the wind has eased as the game would have been called off.

Just a few flakes in the air, but mostly rain. It's +1c in Highworth and the wind has eased a little, so I can't see any reason why the game would be called off.

I think Swindon will be about to get the hour long (and still going) blizzard we’ve had 30 miles away.

I hope that you're right but I reckon a thousand less but I may be wrong
Don't we normally lose a few to Christmas shopping round about now ?

Yep, it's just arrived in Highworth. Today's likely to be in the top 5 coldest games I've ever been to!

Yes I think Port Vale's in there, plus Oldham of course. Birmingham at home many years ago was pretty cold. I'm sure there's others but my memory fails me.
