Tues 18th Aug 2015, Swindon T v Port Vale, pre-match, the match itself.

My team would be Streete for Duffy, Brown for Andoh but in the middle with Foley wide, and AJ for Uche.

[Biddulph_PV]

Innis is due a goal. Hopefully he'll score the winner but as we have such a poor record there I would happily take a 0-0 or 1-1.

 

He should have had one after about 30 secs on Saturday.

Take Duffy out of the side? We haven't conceded once in open play for the last 3 matches with him in the team.

From what I'm hearing, Swindon are struggling for attacking options. A couple of injuries and Obika limped off on Saturday.

Good - that means they might put less than 5 past us for a change!

 

I honestly see this as one of our hardest games of the season, largely due to our inexplicably woeful record there, and I'd be chuffed with a point. The main thing is we need to avoid getting hammered again!

Duffy must play tonight surely!!!!

[valeblue]

A point would be like a win for me!

Have they sold Byrne yet?

Have they sold Byrne yet?

 

No but i see various reports say he will go for anything from 1.3m to 2m,so it just shows that if you find a Gem then money is about to buy the right player,lets hope it happens for us in the future

Obika has a calf injury and is a big doubt

I've read somewhere that he's out for a few weeks and that leaves them with only one recognised striker who hasn't been involved in the first two games.

 

Needless to say they could play with 8 men and still beat us.

It would be a boost if Hooper was on the bench tonight,surely we aren't going wait until September to start blooding him in

[Shropshire_Valiant]

I'm a tad more confident than in recent years of our visits to Swindon but the lack of goals is a worry. We have to start taking more of the chances we are creating or the improved defence will mean little in the long run!

Has Hooper had the opportunity to play in a game of any sort since signing.

I dont think he has although Page did say that you can tell he is a goalscorer from how he is in training,i would hope they fix a couple of behind closed doors friendlies and they maybe give his some time in the JPT game if not before.

 

We need a goalscorer in the squad now not in several weeks time
