A must win really. Swindon are our bogey team.

Still have nightmares of that game in 2015 when we should have won comfortably and ended up with a draw after a 90 min penalty.

We must be due to destroy them. So please let it be on Tuesday.

I will be in a restaurant celebrating my wedding anniversary and will be relying on this board for updates and my own ability to slyly check my phone while at the same time appearing interested in what my wife is saying.

Don't like Swindon they are our real bogey team ..we haven't beaten them in the league since 1964 ... Even when we play well they manage to snatch a draw or win ... If we beat them ..I will start to believe ....".

Not a must win for me, but most definitely one we cannot afford to lose. That would be 4 loses in 10 games and close to losing half our matches so far.

We keep not picking up points away from home and it could become like a millstone round our necks.

Biggest concern for me is on the injury front. Vincenti and Beavon now on top of Andreu. Hope it's not too bad a news.

I'd happily take a point there & 3 off Crewe on Saturday!
Not a bad 7 days work!

If we keep on winning our home games (and I think we'll beat Crewe) then we need to be picking up the odd win away (at least 1 in 3, hopefully more) and it will be enough to keep us up there. I think other teams will weaken as the season unfolds (as have less strength in depth than us - only my opinion!). If we are in touch with the top 3 towards November, I really will fancy us to have a good season.

Won't have less strength in depth for much longer if our players keep getting injured.

After their win Saturday they will have confidence. We will be their toughest opponents so far. Think we are better than them so a win away with Nazon scoring and Jones.

Hope we can win but will take a point, if we are serious about going up we can't afford to lose 40% of our games.

I'd normally say take a draw but we've got to win there someday.

1-1. Doyle to rescue a point with ten to go in an even, ill tempered affair.

Agree with Otis that ‘must win’ not necessarily the case, particularly with 3 Home games to come against teams we would ‘expect’ to beat (Crewe next who took a good 0-5 hiding at home vs Carlisle yesterday).

Perform like we did against Cambridge and I’m fairly confident that we will come away avoiding defeat. Looking forward to it, I’m sure the fans will be in good voice once more!

Don't think I've seen us win there yet!

Might give it a miss then again it's only Sunday.

I've never been, but would consider doing so just to knock on Andy Partridge's door and shake his hand.

This is Coventry City, can stomp all over the top of the league no matter what division we are in one game then the next lose to the bottom of the league who havnt scored for 5 games and conceded 10.
All the same rose tinted glasses n all that, 3-1 City

Sorry to say I think we'll lose this one, as alluded to earlier in the thread that they're a bogey team for us. Hope I'm wrong though.

Won't be happy if we lose tomorrow night (obviously) but if between now and the end of Octover we have won our home games (Crewe, Forest Green and Colchester - all winnable) then if we can pick up a few points from the away games then we will still be thereabouts and I will be happy. The away games look a bit tricky (Barnet,Luton, Accrington, Swindon and Morecambe) so 5 points - hopefully more, and I will be very happy. November onwards - we kick on !!

1-0 defeat, Hussey to score, drop to 9th out the play off places with Robins resigning after the game and Bobby Gould taking over for the rest of the season.

Defeat im afraid. Bogey team and we are still a bit frail on the road.

Ponticelli and Dion KE both came off at HT today in the U23 game. Wouldn't be surprised to see both on the bench at Swindon tomorrow

Far too early in the season to call this a must win or even a must not lose, I'd take a 0-0 draw if you offered it me now, keep the confidence amongst the back 4 high and hope for a spark of magic from Jones or a scrappy bundled goal from Duckens.

First game I wont be at or be otherwise engaged for, is there any chance of finding an overseas stream with the new FL app setup? Has anyone managed to get one so far this season?

There aren't really streams without paying, think there was for 1 game but it soon got cut off.

These are the games we must not lose if we hope to get promotion this year.
Crucial to get a point and keep the momentum going
Another clean sheet would be a great start.

Away win would be great, a draw acceptable.

Its about time we beat them to be honest, will never forget the horror 3-1 defeat when they were in the top league for the only time and were comfortably the worst team in the league, and then if I recall correctly a shite 1-1 draw at home.

Can't see better than 1-1 against one of our bogey teams. But a point tomorrow and 3 on Saturday will keep the promotion form firmly on course.
