Swindon Town vs Doncaster Rovers MDT

[Frigby Daser]

You could but you are playing 4 players out of position and 2 who aren’t fully fit.

Who’s out of position? Cox is a winger (converted into a FB), so is McGregor. Both full backs are in position… ??

Interesting Moonraker stat:

Doncaster are another bogey team for Town. Of the teams Swindon have played 30 or more times down the years, the Robins’ win rate against Donny is lower than against all opponents bar Blackpool.


You could have given me a lot of guesses for the side we have the lowest win rate against before I'd have got Blackpool I think.

I know recently our performances against them have been really poor, but didnt know that.

Town have only beaten them twice in the last 8 games, the last win being 4 games ago when Wakeling scored the winner. And we have only beaten them at home once in the last 7 meetings.

I do remember that we always seemed to lose or draw with them though. 13 defeats and only 6 wins in 30 meetings is pretty shit.

There was a period in the late 90s/early 2000s where we seemed to draw every time we played Blackpool.

In fact, having checked, we played them 12 times between 1995 and 2005, drawing 10 of those ties. One win and one defeat in there too.

2004 - Igoe is "injured" from a tackle by subsequently red carded Ritchie Wellens. 2-2. That's my favourite away one of the 2 or 3 I have been to up there..

"I wasn't hurt but I stayed down and hoped somebody got sent off," he said.

"I know it's a terrible thing to do, but it's easier to play against 10 men than it is against 11.

When I think of Blackpool, the game that springs to mind for me always is the 2-6 home defeat early in 86/87...0-4 at half time, they must have had the bollocking of all bollockings from Macari. Came out and 'drew' the second half 2-2. The support from the Town End during that second half was un-fucking-believeable. Hard to imagine it now.... different times...different Club...

[Jimmy Quinn]

Not sure if it was the same game but remember playing Blackpool around that time on a Tuesday evening and there was a Blackpool fan pissed up giving it large on the touchline in front of the Arkells.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Probably was, the 2-6 was a midweek game...

All ready been mentioned but lots of draws against Blackpool on the 00s.

Our win record against them isn’t great but their winning record against us probably isn’t that great either.

[Wobbly Bob]

Might see what Barden is made of today as Doncaster are top when it came to shots and 5th when it comes to hitting the target, but 16th in % of shots of target.
We on the other hand are 9th in the shot table and 20th in getting them on target and rock bottom in % of shots on target.

Then again, with this being L2 the safest place could yet be between the sticks.

Today's game will be a barometer for me, may come to next week's game against the Jills

Will be following this one from out in the Balearics with a couple of Estrella’s, hopefully I won’t need more to forget about it.
