Following Tuesday, I wonder what to expect on Saturday...will the win be the inspiration to better things that the manager hopes, or will the poor league form continue and generate further frustration? I honestly don't know...Swindon are hovering above the relegation places, but then so were Walsall and Southend, and Rochdale not much better before we played them. I can't imagine many changes to the team that started v Oxford...I would hope Madine and Clough will start, but they must be given better service. As to the defence and midfield, the former more or less takes care of itself.... Henry should be persevered with on the right of midfield, Spearing and Vela should start, but who to play left-side I'm not sure. A. Taylor is not the answer, unless played as a full-back to free Moxey in a more forward role... perhaps letting Tom Walker go was somewhat remiss. At present I would continue to use Ameobi and Anderson as subs, and hope that if used they actually make an impact, likewise Procter, although I hope all 3 aren't used in one fell swoop again. If Howard's distribution does not improve I would hope that Alnwick might be considered sooner rather than later, but would be surprised if the keeper was to be changed on Saturday. As today is National Poetry Day, and with apologies to all poetry lovers, I offer this appraisal of the team's current woes.... A young football manager name Parky Plays a style that went out on the Arky His defence is quite stable But his midfield unable To feed strikers who are wide of the Marky
Hope Saturday's football is better than that !!

Very good GD I won't even try to compete but let's hope Parky reads it and gets the message. Who knows what will happen on Saturday? Despite their lowly position I have little confidence that Swindon will be any different than the others and that we'll suffer another sad, demoralising defeat. Teams have realised we have little of a threat and they aren't in any way frightened of us. Clearly then they'll be expecting a morale boosting win themselves as we slip further down the table. I have a feeling Saturday night will be another glum one but oh how I want to be surprised. 2-0 to Swindon I'm afraid.

Ironically, it's 27 years to the day (7th Nov still have the programme somewhere) when we drew 1-1 following on from a 3-3 game at Swindons ground way back in 1989 in that infamous rollercoaster ping pong league cup game which we eventually lost and got fizzy driving around all those roundabouts trying to find their ground. I still don't see us scoring and I do believe if we stick with Parkinson we will go down with the most boring dull football ever.
Swindon 2 Bolton 0

One can dream!! I always try to think with my heart and hope for the best, and yes, it's difficult to see them scoring let alone winning, but as ever there is always the next match upon which to pin those hopes and dreams. A scruffy 0-1 will do for me, in fact 3 points in any combination would be most welcome.

Nice poetry greydad it puts a light hearted view on our season so it's most welcome but what would be more welcome would be 3 points and also would be poetry to my ear drums listening to the final results tomorrow.

Quite right Trotter, it would be great to be re-acquainted with the feeling of travelling back from a match with a smile rather than a grimace on one's face.

No chance i'm afraid. The team are as last year useless away from home.
Midweek proved to show that we really are a poor attacking team with little hope. The only hope is that Swindon are as bad as us and we get a point. Think that may be the case.
1-1 set piece or scramble for us.

Why is the Manager of the Month award such a dwngerois this to receive??? It's a poison We all know how crap we've trundled out since PP got the award but now look at Bury since Flitcroft received it They haven't won a game since and got turned over 3-1 today at Peterborough On another note, that £1 POUND goalie that Bradford have signed from Blackpool is nominated for player of the month !! You couldn't write it..

I don't think the award itself does anything. Sure Fergie, Jose and Arsene picked up a few. With a smaller manager it may stroke thier ego and make them think they're getting it right. I don't think weve got it right all season even with those fortuitous wins. Our recent form is as bad as last season.
Think it's time now for Ken to bring in some help. Parky needs to go. Shocking football with no end product
