I already know about Pack, looking forward to seeing him in action. I'll look out for Jombati.

For us...probably Woodards at RB. He always seems to give a 110% each game. He gets stuck in, knows how to head and tackle pretty well. Makes some decent forward runs also. He was MOTM against Crawley this weekend. I'd love to say Eliot Richards but he's very hit and miss, he's a product of our youth team. Maybe Anyinsah and Zebroski depending on if Matty Harrold is fit. Both again hit and miss though.

I'd also like you to watch out for us forgetting how to play football in select times in the match. The whole teams forget how to chase the ball down and go in for a tackle. It happens a lot just after half time and in the final 5-10 minutes. They also clear it but only one person chases it and no one supports.

I'm sure I would be doing more of the chasing.

Hopefully Neil Warnock will lead us to a win.

I'm really hoping you don't appoint a new manager in the week, as I guess your team will be fired up on the back of your large travelling support and the new manager syndrome.

Woodards sounds a similar to David Pipe. Is he pacey? as our left winger Mohamed if fucking fast when running with the ball and once he beats the one player he is hard to stop. Shame it takes him 3 or 4 runs to get passed the first player though .

Your attack seems pretty decent to be fair, so I expect you'll provide more of a threat then the likes of Hereford, Macclesfield and Aldershot who were very limited up top. Just hoping that you have still haven't collected your shooting boots from Totton.

See, with or without a new manager I think we'll be fired up. We played well against Crawley and were unlucky not take all three points. As you said, we generally have a good following.

For a start Pipe was RM and Danny is a RB. Secondly, Woodards is an exceptional man. Not a criminal like Pipe. And yes, he is fast-ish. He hopefully will be capable of shutting down the runs.

We do but with Harrold out at the moment that's our top scorer gone. Plus Carayol maybe still be out meaning playing L. Brown at LM rather than his favoured LB.

Pipe played at right back for us for a few months on loan. Thought he was pretty decent but I can't defend his behavior off the pitch. Probably the main reason he is at Newport and not in the FL.

Glad Harrold is out though.

What sort of reception will Duffy and Elliot get from the Rovers fans?

Oh, forgot he even played for you.

I dunno, Duffy may get a bad one because he was a pile of shit for us. Elliot though, I'm not sure. I personally won't give Elliot stick.

He handed Dos Santos very well at Tottenham, scored a 30 yard curler at Oxford and started doing free style against Aldershot which left their winger on his arse .

What Rovers players should I keep an eye on?

And if you can't get a ticket, your more then welcome to join me in the Speedy Skips stand .... Until you score, then i'll chase you out of it with a pitchfork.

Neil Warnock should be shot several several times.

I was joking, Bury.

I know whenever his name is mentioned i have to say something about the fucking cunt.

Di Canios mind games:

Paolo Di Canio wants his Swindon side to use Cheltenham's passion as an example in their pursuit of promotion from League Two.

Swindon currently occupy fourth spot in the division, six points behind their Gloucestershire rivals, following the weekend's results.

Cheltenham were expected to be fighting a relegation battle this term, but the Whaddon Road club have conjured up a remarkable run of results based on raw talent and excellent team spirit.

And Di Canio acknowledged how important that drive is, urging his players to take inspiration from their close neighbours.

"I have watched them a few times and they have fight," he said. "They are nothing special overall but they have bite and anger to stay where they are.

"So I want to change the mentality and be even tougher."

I agree that we are a very hard working side, however to be joint top of the league and to have won 10 out of our last 12 away games with the only defeat being Tottenham suggests that we do have some real quality. Sorry paolo.

Only wish I took up on the 200/1 odds of us to win the league .

Di Canio: "Southampton need to watch out, we will cause a shock to them."

Swindon 1-3 Southampton.

Thanks for reminding me! We're featured on the show tonight. Dan Walker comes home.

I might not be able to go this Saturday.

He's moved to Sheffield Wednesday pal.

Oh yeah, my mum was speaking to his mum the other day and she said he might be leaving Bury, what was he like?

Some stuff going on at home, hopefully it's all fine by then. Don't want to miss us go three games unbeaten now, do I?

A cracking player and a shame he has gone.
He had some blistering pace but could have cut inside more. Some of the shots he did were magical for instance his one at Walsall this season. The only thing is he tends to go hiding the second half of the season.
I can't see him working at Wednesday for some reason but no way do i blame him for leaving.

IAGO!!!

Fantastic signing.

Falque.

There's hardly any away games left this season that I'll be able to get to...

Same John, think I might get too Tranmere, Sheff Wed and Sheff Utd.

Nice for PNE to get a lot of media attention this week.

I'm able to get to most of ours.

Rochdale: Bring on the scum.
Charlton: On a tuesday night but my mates dad is giving us a lift.
MK Dons: Maybe depends how much money i have left over after the Charlton game.
Sheffield Wednesday
Carlisle
Preston
Brentford: Undecided depends how much money i have its months away anyway.
Notts County
Stevenage: Depending on whether we have anything to play for.

Peterborough is the only one i'm genuinely fussed about going to now.

Think we're going Leeds again though. If the tickets are about £35 again though i'm not gonna bother, would rather save the money for holiday

Yeah they'll probably be £34 it's a piss take.

Well my situation is as follows, these are the away games we have left:
Bristol City - Loyalty game, I've been to 6 aways this season and you need 8 to be guaranteed a ticket. If theres a chance to get one if they don't sell I'll try. Can stay with a bird at uni there.

Coventry - Tuesday night so I'll only be going if my mate can drive, but he's 75% sure he can't get the time off work.

Portsmouth - Can't afford/be arsed with the hassle of getting there

Hull - Would have gone 100% but I'm on a college block then and you aren't allowed any time off or else work get the bitch on, disciplinaries etc.

Boro - Will get to that providing we can get tickets.

Millwall - Can't see my parents being that impressed but if trains are cheap I might man up and go.

Reading - Hopefully gonna stop down there with a mate from work and make a weekend of it.

Blackpool - Tuesday night, would love to go and stay over but it will most likely be a 14+ loyalty.

Cardiff - Half 12 kick off in Wales, biggest chance of trouble for the season, take forever and be daft money to get there, basically fuck that.

So yeah, probably 3 more aways at most.

Leeds away fans ticket prices are an absolute joke.
A 17 year old at peterborough is £12
A 17 year old at Leeds is £35

Takes the fucking piss seriously.

Yeah, Yarn, you don't wanna go to Portsmouth anyway, they all have 6 fingers and might catch their many diseases.

I love that i can just go any games what i want without worrying about loyalty cards and shit.

The most local games i will go to will be Coventry and Leicester, my grandad also mentioned going Sheff United if we beat Wolves in the cup...so far ive only gone to Bruges and Bristol this season, wanted to go more

Totally agree, I paid £24 for a brand new, padded seat at the Amex with a great view behind the goal. Our visitors have to pay 34 quid for a cramped seat in the worst bit of the ground. Also there's double standards, visiting fans get kids tickets cheaper but home fans in the same stand can't get concession tickets.

Still, you lot have to pay it once a year, we get stung every other week.

I don't understand why there's a load of mirrors in the away end at Leeds?

Where abouts do you mean? Current away section (West stand) or one of the older ones (cheese wedge or South stand) I'm assuming the latter as that's where you'll have been. Do you mean underneath on the concourse? I usually go in the South Stand and can't say I've ever noticed many mirrors!
