Notts County v Swindon Town Match Day Thread

[Jimmy Quinn]

In-deph as usual😁

Could really do with this being off, Delaney and Sobowale have knocks so we have one fit centre back, as well as Smith having a broken face.

Holloway (jokingly) suggested playing Gunning in the presser.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all to see at least one of them in the starting XI.

Clarke hada sore groin too, that would be a big miss. Offy also struggling.

At least, according to Ollie. Maybe he's gone all mind games!

[Frigby Daser]

You would want Delaney to stick to Jatta, who is big and strong, even if he doesn’t have a first touch. Their new forward/left winger Josh Martin is a real livewire too. That’s before you get onto McGoldrick and Jodi Jones, who is now back from injury. Then there’s Dan Crowley pulling all the strings (who Ofoborh should stick to like glue). It’s a proper squad, playing good football. I’m surprised they aren’t walking the league with the players at their disposal.

If Delaney can’t start, you’d expect Clarke to drop into the back three with Kirkman and Wright, and Kilkenny to slot back into midfield.

Come on you reds!!

Pre match lack of pert buttocks jiggling around in tight orange hot pants in The Roebuck Inn.
Went to Hooters after the game last season, can't remember what I ordered but must have been ok.

Only Minturn remains of that matchday squad although Khan & Uwakwe are still nominally ours, but probably not for long if everyone gets their way.

Will give the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem pub a miss today.
Turns out that it might not even be the oldest pub in Nottingham let alone the country.
Still, anything with Ye Olde in it will guarantee that the tourists will keep coming.

Having a go at a slightly dry January this year.
The mindset probably needs changing but will give it a go.

The home game was one of the better performances under Kennedy and we were a little unlucky to come away with nothing.

Under Holloway we are a different kettle of fish entirely & should present a whole new can of worms for County today and I can't think of a cliché to save my life.

Ultra possession based passing teams can be relatively easy to play against at this level, but the opposing side needs to be very well organised with a specific gameplan.

One clean sheet away from home & 14 league games since the last one.
A tall order to keep County out today, but maybe we are due a successful defence of the onion bag.

If we are struggling with knocks then so must they be, after what is this today, the 5th game in 14 days?

A smash & grab daylight robbery of the relatively rich by Ian & his Merry Men would go down very well with the impoverished (football wise) Town fans watching today.

Although the majority in the away end & possibly also those in their warm or maybe chilly chateau's bear more of a resemblance to Friar Tuck these days, we can still bang out the tunes that would make Alan-a-Dale proud.
And much like the Hooters Girls we also look good in orange, if only from a distance.

Hopefully a content & safe getaway for the travellers before the weather arrives.

3-1 Notts County

I just cant see us coping well against their power and pace. Might be one of those crash back down to earth performances.

[Nemo]

Definitely on then we think? Team could be a bit scrapped together at the back.

I think we'll lose reasonably heavily today. I don't think that's a disaster based on how the Christmas period has gone otherwise.

[Wobbly Bob]

Chilly with no sign of any frost up here.

Should be good to go.

[Bob's Orange]

Expecting Jatta and McGoldrick (if they play) to keep our defence honest today.

2-0 defeat.

[Wobbly Bob]

Whoever spends less time on the deck today out of Tshimanga & Jodi Jones will be the deciding factor.

[Peter Venkman]

[Peter Venkman]

No Smith that isnt great, no attacking options other than Ameen on the bench.

[welshred]

Well definitely struggle to score without Smith, which is a shame.

[Bob's Orange]

Well definitely struggle to score without Smith, which is a shame.

Nonsense, Drinan's on fire, their defence is terrified!

Good day for last January's Glatzel to re-emerge.
