Salford v Swindon Matchday & Buildup

[Nemo]

Could really do with a win here, four losses in a row is not what any new coach needs.

Looking at the presser notes, it's not great news on injuries:

Tomlinson is "quite a way away" from training properly. He's striking balls, but not in full training. Marcel Lavinier is further away. He may not return for another three or four weeks, and that could be optimistic.

Reece Devine is back training. Tyrese Shade might have an outside chance of making the squad. He's had a hamstring injury which he's struggled with previously. Today was the first session he's been close to full intensity.

Jonny Williams is still out. He'll need re-assessing early next week. He's been struggling with dizzy spells so may not even make the Harrogate game.

Last game of RHM's suspension. No new injuries. Expecting a pretty similar team to vs Sutton, just because we don't have much else.

Salford 3 Swindon 0 Att: 2690 (650 Town fans) plan for a rebuild in the summer!

[Posh Red]

Unfortunately can’t see anything other than another defeat, however would be just typical Swindon to somehow shithouse a 1-0 win

[Peter Venkman]

Another defeat.

We need the injured players back asap, then Morris can start with a clean slate, its not his fault he has inheritied an injured and weak squad, difficult to change things in the 1 day of his appointment before the deadline window closed.

Very disappointed Tomlinson is quite away away. Discussion about this have happened elsewhere on the TEF about it being a bit of a loss leader so we can buy for next year - I'm a bit surprised given we seen to be chasing every penny.  Perhaps the Peterborough deal over wages is good.

Lavinier a big loss too. Was starting to make big impacts in games.
-------
Given its 'as you were' I'm a bit worried about this one. Austin and a couple of others will have heavy legs.

Cain will be fresh, wouldn't be surprised to see him come in. Let's see how he looks with khan along side.

I was inexplicably optimistic Tuesday, can't see beyond a 2 goal loss here

[Bob's Orange]

We haven't had a draw for a while, so I'll predict a draw.

[Nemo]

Yeah, the only real options I guess are Cain, Wakeling and Darcy over Kadji, Jephcott and McEachran. I wouldn't be surprised to see McEachran start from the bench after starting on Tuesday.

[Whingy the poo]

I watched the EFL highlights from Tuesday night and the pitch at Salford looks awful! 

[Pookemon]

We haven't had a draw for a while, so I'll predict a draw.

Had one more recently than a win  
 
Just can't see us keeping the scoring down against a team of experienced giants so may have to go gung ho.

4-3 defeat

[Saxondale]

I bought a ticket as Im working in Victoria Warehouse in Manc on Sunday so it worked out well to go the day early.  It was back when I was full of optimism about a new broom and all that sort of shit.  Im now tempted to stay at home but I may as well go.

3 nil loss incoming.

I keep predicting defeats and we keep getting them so I'm going for a win this time. 2-1 in our favour with a brace from Charlie.

[reeves4england]

I've witness two games this year, Harrogate (A) and Walsall (H). Both defeats, so I'm hoping the record improves tomorrow. Not optimistic but stranger things have happened.

Injuries and suspensoins are killing us right now. Expect Cain to start after being on the bench midweek.

[Lemis]

Can't see us winning this, Salford to win 4-0

[ChalkyWhiteIsGod]

The injury situation is mad. Has any coach had to shovel so much shit straight away? Fucking hell.
