Playing in front of 11k in a packed small ground is far more challenging than playing in front of 14k in a soulless bowl Swindon fans worried about complacency but you can guarantee he'll be absolute desperate to win this one. He's obviously got a major bee in his bonnet about getting dumped by us as a kiddy. Still, he went on to play for the likes of Ashford Town and Tonbridge Wells so he shouldn't let it get to him so much.

So time to re-evaluate your opinion of Taylor then since he does indeed score goals? You've rather painted yourself into a corner here where you are wrong about either the useless one or the clueless one. Nice work. The poor bloke gets a bit confused sometimes. He'll try and play it off as some sort of wind-up schtick when DC and MT prove him wrong for the umpteenth time but it's all very transparent.

some of the WUMs on here could learn a thing or two from Mr Luke Williams I think. Nice try Lukey Luke Williams: Charlie Colkett "couldn't care any less about Bristol Rovers think"
Any suggestion that Charlie Colkett could struggle against potential Bristol Rovers boo-boys is nonsense as far as his head coach, Luke Williams, is concerned. Colkett, 20, was briefly on loan at Bristol Rovers earlier on this season and scored three goals in 17 games in all competitions for the club in what was his first foray into the Football League since joining Chelsea in 2007. He was recalled by his parent club in early January and less than a week later he signed for Swindon on loan until the end of the season. Swindon and Bristol Rovers, two West County rivals, meet at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday and Colkett could be subject to a hostile reception from the Gas, but Town head coach Williams rubbished any suggestion that he could be daunted by getting booed by the home support. " I don't think he could care any less, to be honest. I don't think any of us could care any less of what Bristol Rovers think, not one bit," Williams said. "It certainly won't affect Charlie. I mean, the boy's been training with the likes of John Terry and God knows who else - the last thing on his mind is what Bristol Rovers think, to be honest. " Playing in front of 14,000 at Bolton (January 14) is a far more challenging affair than playing against Bristol Rovers, with all due respect to Bristol Rovers, which is a club that I know, I played there as a young boy and it's a great club without any shadow (of a doubt). "But Charlie is mentally strong to completely focus on his own performance and it really won't be an issue." Loanee Colkett has only featured twice for the Robins so far but he has immediately made a positive impact on Swindon's fans and coaching staff. On his debut, against Bolton, he assisted an 89th-minute winner and on his home bow, last Saturday, he was awarded the man-of-the-match award by the sponsors. Williams is pleased to have youngster Colkett among his ranks and explained how his loan at Bristol Rovers came to and end which allowed him to move across the M4 to the County Ground. " I have spoken to Charlie and Charlie was on the bench for Bristol Rovers when they played against us, he went back to Chelsea and said 'you've sent me to the wrong club because the other team have all the ball'. "I think, speaking to people at Bristol Rovers, they were obviously very impressed with Charlie but felt they needed somebody in midfield that would run beyond the front players more often than Charlie - he likes to recieve the ball to his feet. "I think that was probably the reason why they felt they could free up a place in the squad to bring in a player more suitable for what they desire, of course that left an opportunity for us to bring him in."

Don't understand all this petulance over pedantry...as for the game, no result will surprise me but can see a score draw being on the cards. What 0 - 0? 20-20

Why's this an "official Derby Game" rather than an unofficial one? If BB's out DC seems to like James or Moore as right wingers, if Leads (not sure why he was subbed off at Walsall) is also out I'd personally go with Broom rather than JC. I just hope he doesn't go back to the diamond in order to inc Sincs to mark Colkett, who seems to have fitted in well at Swindle. Lumley Leads/Broom Locks Burns Brown James/Moore Clark Lines Monty Harrison Taylor Although I doubt Partington & Sweeney will be happy to just be bench warmers? Leads took a big whack to his ribs about 5 minutes before the end of the first half against Walsall so I would imagine that's why he came off. I felt that up until Bodin and DL came off we were well in charge of the game at the Bescott but Moore and Broom were not adequate replacements. Broom looked very, very poor for me when he came on and Moore was completely ineffectual so I'd be disappointed to see either in the line up for Swindon. Providing BB and DL are still out I'd go with: Lumley J. Clarke/Lockyer/Burns/Brown Lines/Sinclair/O. Clarke James/Taylor/Montano Can't for a second imagine we'll see this this though...

Never heard of the Geordie Gashead? He scored some vital goals in our 06/07 promotion season.

It's Republic Day in India. Darryl Duffy, WYHHB? It's Australia Day today too. Look out for an Aussie signing? Is Stuart Nicholson still playing out there?

A day after Burn's night, we sign Burn. Is it a special day today as could be a clue to our next signing? It's Republic Day in India. Darryl Duffy, WYHHB?

The Giroud goal is the best purely for his flick inside in the build up and how far and fast the big man traveled to get up the other end. All three goals go some way to proving that a half decent cross is massively overrated.

HA HA HA HA I get it. PatheTIC. Like tick tock. Like a clock. Because his name's Klok. Which is a homonym for clock. That's very good.

Loads of links to the current side/management team. Obviously Beadle and Ryan Green stand out but Martin Horsell was with us as a lad, never played a game though I don't think. I think Tristan Plummer was here before joining City's academy at a very young age. Is Rhys Evans still part of the coaching set up?
I’ve liked Hereford ever since we signed Ryan Green and then later Andy Williams (who I thought was going to be magic). Will not forget that Hughes screamer in the 6-1 demolition back in 08/09 either. To think Hereford were in League One just eight seasons ago.

The difference is that DC has actually delivered here - he's got us promoted twice and, if we WERE in the Championship that would have meant 3 promotions. On that basis, I'd stand by him whatever. LJ has done f**k all. Kept them up last year but haven't seen anything to suggest he's THAT a good a manager to warrant them giving him any longer. That said, I pray they stand by him and he continues to lose every game, week in, week out. Spot on. Comparing LJ and DC is like comparing chalk and cheese.

You've turned into a proper conspiracy theorist of late. What happened, did Wael take his Commodore 64 to a competitor? It was a Vic 20..... and i welcome competitors into my Box It takes all sorts I suppose!

Have to say I'm very disappointed that MM and Easter are included in this. McChrystal has shown that he can still do a job and there is no-one better in the club at talking and organising those around him. Easter still has something else when he is included. These two bring great experience and stability to the squad in my opinion. We must have a couple of pretty impressive new signings lined up that bring those qualities at upper League 1/ Championship level, otherwise I fear we will miss them immensely. I hope we get to give them a send off, MM especially - him sinking to his knees at Wembley is a real Gas moment in History. Easter is a shame but MM going is very disappointing for me. I think he's still got a lot more to offer the squad.
