But why does my memory go back to Digby being sent off against Aldershot in the equivalent competition then (Simod Cup?)
Its been a bit of a jinxed competition for us

Considering the number of ex Swindon players they have, and that its unlikely we're going to beat them three times in one season, i'd take a draw right now. Its our toughest league game left considering matches against the other top sides are all at home. If we win i'd begin to get genuinely excited!
Expecting a defeat but would love a draw

Having a quick read on the Barnet forum seems they are as confident about turning us over as we are about beating them, they arent on a bad run at all I have to admit but we must be favourites at home.

Looking at the online ticketing part of the website tickets are selling very well for this. I reckon it could be a sell out.

It only looks full because they haven't released season tickets holders' seats yet.

I was secretly hoping Izale McLeod would be gone in the transfer window - either way, this is a very tough game.

No it isn't, Barnet are rubbish... mainly due to having Lawrie Sanchez at the helm!
Yep, i'm confident!

I think we'll win 3-1 next week, and then go on to win the JPT...had a feeling if Leon Clarke was still at Chesterfield he would have scored the winner against us, but now that's not the case I'm confident we'll beat Barnet and then Chesterfield

I don't care how Barnet have been playing lately - hope they win Saturday as well (Pox) - if we can't beat them it will be a huge kick in the nuts.
But why does my memory go back to Digby being sent off against Aldershot in the equivalent competition then (Simod Cup?)
Freight Rover Trophy not the Simod Cup (which was for 1st and 2nd Division clubs). 2-0 up and coasting towards Wembley.........I vaguely remember Macari trying to assault the ref after the game, or am I getting that mixed up with another game? Andy King got the first Aldershot goal.

Bravado methinks. No one will be confident of turning us over, particularly at home. What is it 4 months since we conceded a league goal? Saying that they've earned their place and it will be tight, but we've more than enough to see them off. Confident, yes. Cocky no.

I think so too but to be fair to them they aint on a bad run themselves, their last 5 games.... H Bristol Rovers W 2-0 H Swindon Town D 1-1 A Accrington W 3-0 A Northampton W 2-1 H Crewe W 2-0 Still if you put that next to our recent record it does overshadow their results hugely.
