Things are obviously looking more positive around the club now than they have been for a long time, but I think that despite the takeover and a big influx of new season ticket holders there seems to be a lack of focus about our support for some reason.
Might just be that I've got some weird odd twisted and incorrect perception of things, but I think a nice minor cup upset early on in the season could really help line everything up nicely.

Agree 100 per cent.
I think a lot of supporters have kept going the last 10 years out of this determination not to see 'Swindon Town die on my watch'. I think the fans are struggling for motivation at the moment.
But now we could start to have a bit of fun. As you say a good cup run could make everyone remmember what weve been missing and wake the fans up a bit.

Agree. An early season run of form in any or all competiions should help some of our fans "believe" again.
If we manage that we might be looking at a sell out for leeds early next month

How good would this have been if it was away. Memories of the Springbok still fresh in my mind, despite the result that was a cracking day out!!

Then we have managers who think they're Wenger and field weakened teams, WTF is that about...Lou Macari partly turned us around on the back of beating Sunderland and Sheff Wed in the LC....got the fans going, got the team going. Unfortunately, we're now in a rut and it's difficult to get out of.
Reg, If Mo plays a second string side I will be absolutely gutted. Weve got loads of good players to come into the team at a later date when things need freshening up. Keep the winning team together. |

We have loads of QPR fans in my neck of the woods, they think Swindon are a joke side, so much so that two of them have taken huge bets off me giving me a three goal handicap start. If we beat them they will double the return.
QPR fans are the new Chelsea armchair I know it all 'we have loads of money' tits at the moment.

Really? Ive always thought QPR fans to be "proper" I know they have all this money now,to be honest it looks a bit like the heart of QPR is being ripped out by the money men and their 70k exec boxes and 200% rise in season tickets.Then again I dont really know that much about it... Ive a feeling MM will play a proper team,I hope so anyway.Sadly im working so will have to gauge the game from the ooohs and aaahs I hear across the railway line.I'll try and start a chant going though.. |

BREAKING NEWS: Ifil out of cup tie
By Anthony Marshall
JEREL Ifil is out of tomorrow night's Carling Cup first-round tie with QPR.
The defender has picked up a groin problem and will sit out the County Ground clash.
With Pat Kanyuka also sidelined, youngster Sean Morrison is in line to start against the Championship side.
Elsewhere, Kevin Amankwaah and Chris Allen return to the matchday squad.
Meanwhile, boss Maurice Malpas is waiting to hear whether his move for Eastleigh winger Mark Marshall has been a success, with progress expected later today or tomorrow.

Cheers for that Sussex, I haven't been on Thisis for about 10 minutes so wasn't aware of this "breaking news".
Hmmn, that makes our defence pretty thin, but Vincent can play centre half, Morrison's available too, so we should be alright for the bit, problem should we get another defensive injury though.

Fitness apparently. They've arranged a reserve game for him and Easton midweek. It's on the official site somewhere. |

It's on the "we'll give it everything" story from MM. At Southampton's training ground on Wednesday.
