Forest Green go 2-1 up at Cambridge puts us 8th.

Bloody hell, we've had a shot. Baxter set up Hunt; just over.

3 at the back, or Graham at right back?

I reckon it is

Baxter and Graham on for Lang and Dummigan. Graham for Dummigan is a bit odd unless it's an injury.

Yet everyone will be having a Bunn, O'Grady, Miller, Gardner love in if we steal a point or more.

Somehow, I rather doubt that given what's going on so far.

I seriously considered forking out a tenner tonight. I think I'm pleased I didn't.

Iversen having a blinder by the sounds of it. They'd have been out of sight otherwise.

Monty Burns was a couple of minutes too late as well.

So another player out of position, not smart.

Dummigan is no stranger to playing wide right. He'd be fine and linking up with Hunt could be a good move

If stick with 4-4-2 and go Iversen; Hunt, Clarke, Edmundson, Taylor; Dummigan, Baxter, Missilou, Nepomuceno; Lang, Surridge (if fit)/Miller/Benteke/O'Grady

Subs: De La Paz, Branger-Engone, Hamer, Graham, Gardner, any two of the remaining strikers

He was a token signing to quell fan unrest, I don't think Bunn has any intention of finding a starting place for him.

I've read some bollocks on here, but that ranks fairly highly.

How’s rudemedic picked up 2 points there?

 

Edit: 0-0 HT isn’t highlighted.

My yellow crayon dried up! I've got a new one now.  

I honestly don't think we went there for a draw, 0-0 or otherwise. The problem for me was that we had no creative spark in midfield, coupled with the fact that we did the more intricate stuff ok (close passing in diamonds to get out of trouble or to make headway) but then could find the all important pass. It was either over- or under-hit and freely given away. 

Gardner and Lang were classic examples of this; neat intricate ball control, find a team mate, get it back, move it on, leave an opposition player going the wrong way then waste the final ball. It happened so many times, it was frustrating to watch. Defensively, we were mostly ok apart from a a couple of brain fart moments but, to be honest, Swindon only had real chances when we gave it to them.

We should have won it right at the end when from the free kick after Missilou was brought down. O'Grady followed up Baxter's partially saved header and should have buried it. All in all, though, I thought a draw was a reasonable result. We're the first team to stop them scoring this season and point with a clean sheet away from home isn't to be sniffed at.

It wasn't great, Surridge was a big miss, and there is room for a lot of improvement, but keep this sort of points collecting up until New Year and a new signing or two should see us right.

John-Paul Kissock now playing for Welling in that National League South.

The news that Surridge was injured caused 28 edits after the team was announced, thankfully all within the 14:50 cut off. Six predictors failed to post, namely, AK's11, daniel and Oafc1895 in the Championship and Lee Sinnott, Monty Burns and oafcprozac in League 1.

SAV was the top scorer in the Premier League with 7 points and only missed out by 3 on the attendance.  Ex_pat takes over top spot, astottie moves up 3 places and milnrow latics drops 5 places.

In the Championship, 8 points scored by yarddog73 was the best and was the only one in all three divisions with the correct final score. youngen moved up 5 places, daniel dropping down by the same.

Whilst maddog still holds on to 1st place in League 1, Dave_Og scored highest with 7 points, no one climbed more than 2 places and mcfluff1985 dropped three.

Clarke for me. Made one mistake all afternoon as I recall. Rock solid apart from that. Edmundson a very close second.

And still somone  did a downvote (not you)

You wonder what makes some folk tick at times, don't you?

That, Mr Teeets, is one of the posts of the year.

IIRC, pass the ground with it on your right and there's a car park just past the ground on the right hand side. 

Actually, there a car park at the ground, but it may be reserved only.

I accept no responsibility for being wrong!

Nothing has changed since Luke has left. Sam's questions are borderline propaganda with an answer attached at the end... Get someone qualified in. Not a City fan.

There was once a fairly long running thread dedicated to the errors and cock ups on the "fishul". It's been a while since anyone added to it.

So I think it is now time to give praise where it's due. In addition to being the match day announcer at BP and commentating on away games, Sam has, IMO, been doing a cracking job on the website.

You don't see the constant errors that used to be so prevalent; there is more news content and new features; match reports, both home and away, are usually up within half an hour; we now have manager's pressers in two parts, adding that little bit more to it; player interviews on the last and upcoming games.

It's possible there are other areas that still need a bit of a facelift but, all in all, I think it's a job very well done. Thank you, Sam.
