    Going to be another tough test. Looking at their form it looks good on paper but when you look at the detail of who they've played recently it's not that good. 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses but 3 of the 4 win have come against Walsall, Carlisle and Scunthorpe and 2 of the draws have been against Colchester (against 9 men and being 1-0 up until the 92nd minute) and Crawley. So it might not be a bad match for us to end this losing streak.
    Either way it will be interesting to see what formation and players Hughes picks after a week of training and if we see more progress in the way he wants us to play.

    Survival is all that matters, happy of we make ourselves hard to beat and would take a draw to stop the rot and one point to the survival fund.

    Good luck to Hughes because whatever team he picks, we are shocking :joy:

    That McKirdy looks a great striker of the ball and can shoot from range so I think he will bag one. Hopefully we can score this time round as we should have against Mansfield

    Must win.

    Cement our place in mid-table.. But that is beyond our players. Maybe MH has worked some magic. We shall see.

    The End

    I expect us to win the next three and breathe a collective sigh of relief.

    I'm not sure we're going to beat Swindon.

    They've been scoring for fun lately, and our defence remains as weak as ever.

    Is it young Harvey Rowe who's putting the ball a few times on the training video?

    Looking at that video the pitch near Harrogate Road that was flooded looks to have drained very well as that was the pitch they were on and where the video was shot.

    Absolutely crackers that McKirdy and Robinson were available at Vale and we decided to go for Robinson instead ...

    The same McKirdy who had failed to score a single goal for Port Vale and 5 goals in an apparently underwhelming spell at Carlisle prior to that

    He was garbage before his spell at Swindon and would have probably been met with the same fanfare as Robinson was if we’d have signed him, I doubt we’d have got out of him what Swindon have you only have to look at Doyle to see because someone thrives one place doesn’t mean they will elsewhere. We have been a strikers graveyard for years and rarely play to their strengths.
