Need to right the wrong of the cheek of spraying the ox outside the ground when the only time theyare brave enough to do it..
 
I agree. It was like roles reversed from previous fixtures against them. Whilst they had the bullish motormouth in Di Canio we had the stoical Wilder who just got on with it. KR kept talking about the importance of it and Sheridan stayed quiet. It was the quiet man who won out.

We need to pare it back. Just see it as a game to be won and ignore that it is a derby. There are no fans in attendance so it really can be seen as a task to be completed. I also hope that KR’s ambition to win isn’t overtaken by his desire to right the wrongs from the game at the KasStad. The horror show that ended that game and the performance of the subs still haunts him and he needs to ensure the performance is channeled in the right way. No revenge tackles or attempts to overforce the issue.

And if we win? I’ll make sure that I’m on the club website first thing on Wednesday for the commemorative mug and t-shirt combo too.
This is a wind up?
Pare it back and ignore that it’s a derby....?
Yep, just another game?......nope, never has been and never will be so don’t try and treat it like it is. Get the players up for winning this one and ww should be on a run to the end of the season.

Am I the only one who isn’t that bothered by Tuesday night? If I was going I’d have butterflies already but given there will be no crowd/atmosphere means this is only slightly more interesting than a standard fixture for me.
 
I think I'll be bothered on Tuesday evening, but at them moment not really thinking about it. After the bad news yesterday, the game just doesn't seem as important.

I know I'll feel different on Tuesday however.
 
We need to finally win a big game that we’re expected to win. Can’t keep relying on being the underdog or having nothing to lose for a performance, and buckling when that isn’t the case. At some point being the favourites when there’s something on the line has to be a situation that we can cope with.

No better time to start than now.
 
I was pissed off big time of how we lost to them at home and probably 90% of fans showed their anger wether it was on here, on Radio Ox or social media. Robbo and the players got the message and we went on an incredible run, we have stalled slightly and maybe they need another kick up the a**e to propell us in to the play offs.

Which ever way I hope its not a draw as I don't think that helps us either way.
 
f**k all this not bothered B*****s, it’s a chance to beat them C***s, I hope we batter them 5-0 and they go down on goal difference because of it. If they stay up and we finish mid table but they beat us twice it will put a downer on the season for me.

We should win though, they only won last time because we stopped playing and Eastwood threw himself over the top of ball, that won’t be happening this time.
 
Info from a Swindon supporting mate; they were abject on Saturday and at half time two of the subs had a full scale scrap just outside the dressing room which was seen by an Accrington official.
Fake News according to John Sheridan when asked by the reporter - 19 mins in.

(They have had SIX goalkeepers appear for them this season).

 
Stevens
Forde Moore Atkinson Ruffels
Kelly Gorrin Brannagan
Sykes Taylor Barker

Eastwood, Grayson, Hanson, LCP, Hall, Shodipo, Aygei
 
Please please please can we not now suffer a couple of days of “this is a must-win” or, worse, “we’ll absolutely batter them”. The massive expectations before the previous encounter were the reasons for our defeat: KR was terrified of losing (well, worse: not winning) and this feeling transferred itself to the players on the day.
It’s a match we all know we can and should win, but let’s avoid the hysteria and the consequent pressure on the team as a whole.
And then we’ll beat them. 😊

Yet, you voted in the poll that they would beat us?
 
I think they look at our average away fans numbers there and anything above that goes to us. Unlikely we’ll exceed that figure on ifollow I guess.
