Cider red Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yes. under cotteril we have played 7. Won 3 drawn 3 and lost 1. Unbeaten in 4 in the league and the performances are much more positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 We have also signed a cracking CB. Be careful not to screw up the betting slip though, it's difficult with 6 webbed fingers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Is that CB a replacement for tanglefoot Flint? Flint has actually played well of late, seems to have settled. Its hard to say who will be dropped but we will see tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swindon fan Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 How is that piece of filth Ranger doing? Fair comment - if he's found guilty, of course. Complete nutter of a bloke but tremendous on the pitch - when he turns up! Chin up. You'll be out of the bottom 4 soon I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forza Revolution Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Honest question - who would you consider your major rivals ? I see Swindon fans slagging off the city every week on social media etc but none of the city fans I know actually care about how Swindon get on. I always thought it was oxford ?

I see Swindon fans slagging off the city every week on social media etc but none of the city fans I know actually care about how Swindon get on. I always thought it was oxford ? It's always has been and always will be Oxford. I'm a bit too old for all this social media stuff so don't know what goes on there - I would imagine its the wannabes. Bit different for me as I was born and brought up in Chippenham so for me it could have been either Bristol or Swindon distance wise. Although Chippenham is a mostly Swindon town. Really enjoyed the game earlier at ours - and not just for the result - it was a cracking, old fashioned sort of game with 2 dreadful defences. Surprised you are where you are, TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted January 17, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Played 8? Won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2. Exactly the same as SOD's last 8 games... So we've been reasonable for a while with just 4 losses in 16 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 You must be mistaken young man, we have had a massive upturn in form since Cotterill has been in charge. FACT. Not just form, better performances and trying to sort out the mess SOD left us in. He's doing a grand job and everyone can see that Apart from you, naturally.

Nogbad the Bad Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Played 8? Won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2. Exactly the same as SOD's last 8 games... You missed the last, very important bit, of Cider red's comment, 'the performances are more positive'. I could add the atmosphere around the club is more positive, the players are more positive, the fans are more positive, the manager is certainly more positive. From the utter despair generated by the most depressing individual I can ever remember being associated with the club we now have a manager and players who we can be confident will fight tooth and nail to prevent a repeat of the disgraceful capitulation overseen by the completely lacklustre SO'D last season. Is our form picking up, as per the OP's original question? We've got a hellish run of away games coming up but whatever happens in the next month we now have reason for some optimism where before there was none, and there's little doubt that by the end of the season we'll have amassed more points than we would have done under the uninspirational and gloom laden O'Driscoll.

WTFiGO!?! Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 2 or 3-1 City would be where my free bet would go. After Christmas, postponed game disturbances and the FA Cup - I think this is a good as time as ever to build and consolodate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNBT Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I got the feeling we'll win tomorrow hoping at least 1-0 for the clean sheet but be also happy with 2-1 or 3-1 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Played 8? Won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2. Exactly the same as SOD's last 8 games... But SOD's record, at the Gate and beyond, gave no reason for us to believe it can or will be sustained. I'd rather lose trying to win than lose trying to avoid defeat. For that reason thank the Lord SOD has gone. I'm no SC lover: indeed I was flabbergasted and despondent he got the contract he did... I still am. But I'm much happier with what I'm seeing and incredibly more satisfied with what I have seen. If we go down, if we fail, at least we will fail thus far at least trying. That is something SOD never offered, when he arrived or towards the end of his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderJar Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Although Chippenham is a mostly Swindon town. Really? Judging by the train traffic I would say that Chippenham is a mostly Bath rugby town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something SOD never offered, when he arrived or towards the end of his tenure. Personally I think it would have been sustained especially after the Leyton Orient performance. I do think the performances have been more positive so far though. But I don't agree that SOD never tried - have a look at his start - 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. OK he did poorly after that until that 8 game run I mentioned but I don't think he was ever not trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Played 8? Won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2. Exactly the same as SOD's last 8 games... Two of those games were against Championship sides though. Despite some on here trying to put a negative spin on everything, in the league we've won our last two at home and drew our last two away. I'll be waiting a very long time for a comeback as to when O'Driscoll managed that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
