Swindon draw Accrington Stanley in Round Two.

Eminently winnable game.

Oh well what's another year!

Sorry you witnessed another capitulation Noah.

I thought when we took the lead against a poor Swindon team that would do it.

However once they equalised the danger was there.

Whether DC likes it or not Hunt and Flanagan must be dropped.
Gordon is wasteful when well placed.

DC needed to play Hakeem Sandah alongside Lyle Taylor today.

Arthur Read and Jack Payne unlucky to be on the losing side.

I wasn't there but listened on the radio and we had our chances to win the game.

Yes we are missing key players but so are other teams.

Safe journey home.

Very frustrating once again.

Oh well bring on Barrow!

Flanagan starts with an early booking.

I'm sorry but Goodliffe should have started in his place

Sadly TOOT he was never going to start today.

The key words he was in the match day squad said it all.

The magic of the F A Cup has come around for another season and DC takes his charges to the Nigel Eady County Ground to do battle with Swindon Town. The Robins now managed by Ian Holloway are hoping for the new manager bounce.

However, even Holloway will struggle to get much out of the Robins this weekend and I reckon we can secure that elusive first away win of the season with a 1-0 victory.

Now the incentive is boosted by prize money of £41,000 to the First-Round Proper winners.

Our loanees Donnelly, McDonnell and Scully can all play, but Oscar Thorn is cup tied but we have recalled young striker Hakeem Sandah from M&T.

DC can also name up to 9 substitutes for the Cup so Matt Jay, still only 28 (he of the Advertisement – Carlsberg Customer Complaints Department – wrong number - clearly he has been languishing in that office for years).

Sadly Tovide, Bishop, Oni and Edwards are all injured.

I would like to see the following line up:

Macey

Egbo Goodliffe Donnelly Iandolo

Woodyard McDonnell Payne Read

Sandah Taylor

Subs:
Smith Anderson Flanagan Kells Gordon Hunt Hopper Scully JAY

After all we do want to win the game, don’t we?

Weather will be 13 degrees Celsius, cloudy with a 27% chance of precipitation.

Safe journey to the travelling faithful.

Enjoy the game everyone and safe travels Wessex.

Goal scorer, who else but Lyle Taylor

Is in the squad for the Swindon FA Cup tie.

No really this is not a trick but let's hope he can treat us to a good performance.

Where will we finish

Top seven which was my original prediction.

Clearly time for my medication.

But seriously if we can make two decent signings at Christmas then it is definitely on.

Just got to find the 72 points now!!!
