Four wins ? Seems highly unlikely Basically the question is: will 33% of the last 12 opponents roll over for Rovers? Given how Portsmouth and perhaps Accy have rolled over away from home I think Rovers will get the points from the non-relegation threatened sides. The draws are the difficult bit. With the draws + the winds you’re basically saying can Rovers get a result from over 50% of their remaining games and I’m not sure that’s going to happen. But on the flip side I don’t think Rovers will need 49 points. John Sheridan about to leave Swindon. There may be a new manager bounce there |

There may be a new manager bounce there Our appointment of Tisdale was a WTF moment, but Swindon proper one-upped us with Sheridan. I have absolutely no idea how that man gets jobs. A prime example of how crackers the managerial merry go round is. |

If you are unable to perform against the bottom team as a player at home you should be sacked. You know when a schoolkid spontaneously, uncontrollably laughs, and a bit of snot shoots out and sometimes shoots back just as quickly? That post reminds me of those days.... |

Let's hope rodmans injury is serious. He is a numpty. Getting relagated to the bargain basement could do us a favour. Classy. |

On the face of it that comment may sound tame, and just a personal opinion, but Admins have already had to delete at least one racist thread that that user created this year. I guess it's been a series of incidents that have led to the red card.

Back to the game yesterday...
Was a strange one.
First half Wimbledon had all the ball, 61% possession, yet barely had a shot. Whereas we had a number of half-chances on the break.
The game ends up almost equal on possession, we had 19 shots and until the closing stages they'd only had 4 (ended up with 10).
But for all our half-chances Wimbledon had the clearest opportunities: 2 clear headers missed, centre of goal, only a couple of yards out; 2 fine saves forced out of Day, one of which from a 1-on-1; probably should have had a penalty too.
Oh, and the 2 saves from Day were both near post! :-)

I can't see any rules have been broken, unless am missing something like one person has used 2 accounts? |

Sadly it is the curse of social media - such comments can be made from anonymity. I just wonder what the poster is like in reality. |

Sadly it is the curse of social media - such comments can be made from anonymity. I just wonder what the poster is like in reality. Well, yes, of course, nasty, un-called for, and (as Rodders has proven since returning to the side), complete and utter nonsense. But in isolation doesn't warrant a ban, 'tame' compared to other stuff, and, unfortunately ten-a-penny out there in socialmedial-land. |

Alex Rodman, model pro, PFA representative, intelligent (BA & Masters) articulate, fitness fanatic and a pretty good footballer!, hope to see him pulling on the Quarters asap, looked like Hamstring to me.

What it called for from any thinking gashead was the very opposite of the posted comment, as he sits on the fitness table for next month does our upturn in form sit there with him 🙀 |

Second half we played better, but could have lost. ...but is it strange, all games a bit like that, ebbing and flowing? |

Quick one. Has the Blackpool home not been arranged yet? We have 13 remaining, 39 points to play for when we only need about 15?
