    Vaughan isn't feeding off scraps anymore, he's routing through the skips outside the back doors.

    And results are all any true fan should worry about, even you must realise we have to get out of this league first time and if by getting a draw at the league leaders means being defensive so be it.

    Apologies. I think fans forget just how horrible L2 is. Forest Green and Northampton who were simply horrible teams are firmly in the promotion mix. Hence, I'll put up with lots more turgid one-nillers if it means we're not here next season!!

    He's certainly been as good as anyone this season, after last season most had written Anthony off but at the moment he's the better of the two O'Connor's on show and I don't think many would have predicted that at the start of the season.

    You have to laugh. He's citing our goalscoring threat from midfield. Goals this season Reeves = 0, Cooke = 0, Palmer = 0, Taylor = 0, Connelly = 0

    Ah that is why they committed 17 fouls to our 14. Bookings 4 for them 2 for us. A penalty for them but a stupid handball, rather than a misplaced tackle and finally a Red Card to them.

    I wonder what their thoughts are, about their own team being rather ‘physical’?

    And this is where their fans don't see what we do ........... In both those games - They played without Doyle. Yet they still persist and insist they can cope without Doyles goals (others will step up etc) ...........
    Not based on our two games against them, they can't ;)

    You need him, just depends on if you firstly meet our demands and then secondly Doyle's demands. Likes the smell of the folding stuff does Doyler.

    Is that Dave Hockaday?. If so, he will be still bitter that he got sacked at dirty Leeds after we beat them in the league cup a few years ago!

    The Christmas period is expensive if you have kids, the football has been anything but entertaining, and many can access the game live on TV.
    Credit to the fans who travel but understandable for those who don't.

    Having seen the last two home games, can I be bothered to get up at 6am, travel half the country and spend about £75 on travel food and tickets to watch a game of anti football where Bowyer will be happy with a nil nil.

    Can't say I'm tempted.

    I’d like to see the team that finished on Wednesday, start at Swindon but I won’t hold my breath

    I’m the same, No one from our crowd bothering, we won’t take more than 600/700 for a number of reasons

    Christmas expense
    The quality of football
    The fact we travelled relatively well to the last 2 away games and people pick and choose.

    So many fans at Carlisle were saying that’s it for away days until we start to see some entertainment

    We were saying exactly this walking away from Carlisle and Macclesfield before that. Give us something to shout about. Our away atmospheres can be dire at the best of times but those two games couldn't get any worse. You end up questioning your own sanity. Not as bad to take when you are a division or two above, you expect to be on the back foot and scrapping for points, but creating nothing against teams barely above non league standard really takes the piss.

    Go gung ho and throw caution to the wind and they might carve us open and beat us, and the gap becomes 9 points?

    Come away with anything from Swindon and its a bonus. Exactly the sort of game where you can set up to frustrate.
