Jed begins recruitment drive (From This Is Swindon Town FC)

He's certainly talking the talk.

I've liked everything that has been quoted from him since the takeover went through.

LOL. James Milner who came through at Leeds and was at Swindon on loan long before his Villa days?! Top knowledge.

I hope I've misInterpreted that and what he's saying is MacD gave him his first chance at Villa.

Likewise. Let's hope the team back him up today with a cracking performance and hopefully 3 points.

Made me smile, but I get what he's saying... Perhaps Barry Bannan Ciaran Clark et al might have been the more accurate examples

Hopefully we won't be put under another embargo then, seeing as our 2012 accounts were due to be filed with Companies House on Thursday?? Didn't we file accounts late last year as well?

Had exactly the same thoughts, Jed really needs to think what he is saying if he thinks nobody had heard of JM before he went to Villa, his foorball knowledge might not be as sound as he makes out.

After todays game, regardless of the result, I hope Jed will be on that phone and .resurrect the loans of Pack and Green. It will be a start and give Kevin a few days to get his thoughts together of who else he needs until the end of season. He only has 19 more days to do it before the window closes and we have 3 more tough games after today.

We filed it late last year due to Black taking up shares of Fitton etc. I'd be pretty confident that there wouldn't be much work to do on the books considering a takeover has just happened, which all the accounting needs to be bang up to date..

Coventry sound proper screwed though. I'm more confident of 3pts today now!

Problem is most of the decent players available for loan will soon all be snapped up so KM needs to get a move on. I will be at Coventry today but am not too optimistic unless Ferry is back and our forwards find their shooting boots! Coventry's home form is not too good so with about 3,000 of us behind the lads you never know? Would be nice to have some stability now. Is there any chance we could get Caddis and Benson back? Caddis could play right midfield and Benson certainly is a better scorer than any of our current strikers!

Is that the same Benson that has about 5 goals this season compared to Collins who has 15?
.
Benson has scored 1 at Cheltenham! Collins has 2 in L1 in the same period
.
Why not try and get Connell while we are at it?
.
Maybe J Smith could come back in to midfield too?
.
I must have been following a different team this year as I saw Swindon were one of the top scorers in the entire league
.
Why can't people support the lads instead of always looking backward!

This is encouraging.

I was thinking of Williams in particular, and how many games he has played in comparison to how many Benson has played. I don't know why LR but you do seem to enjoy confrontation don't you? I still say Benson is a better goal scorer than the current strikers taking into account the ratio of goals scored against chances! As for Connell and Smith, they are no longer Town players but Benson and Caddis are so I really don't know what your point was there...you just sound very silly sometimes.

I have been a regular supporter of the Town since 1966 (attending matches) and played competitive football for 25 years so my opinion is as valid as yours, so please drop the arrogance in future please...i remember you did the same to one of my posts after the paint pot final at Wembley but I let that go!

Steven Ireland please ;-p

Where is all this talk of 3,000 away fans coming from?....have we sold that many tickets?
...
Wife's birthday today - she didn't seem too happy at my offer of a trip to see Coventry away for her birthday present sadly so stuck back at home.
.
Would have been nice to see the new STFC.

Hi Ian, I phoned the Swindon ticket office yesterday and they said 2,400 tickets already sold and at least another 500 paying at gate, this was based on fans phoning ticket office and asking if they could pay on day.

Hi Laz, thanks for that WOW!!

Really jealous as I'd earmarked this game from the start of the season only to realise the significance of the date in November....despite all my efforts and bribes nothing has convinced her....not a football fan in any sense of the word sadly.
.
Hope you're well and have a shout for me please!...say hi to Louis as well if you get to meet up.
.
....better go and update my attendance on the predictions league! :-)

Well said lazaat..
and Yes Benson and Caddis ARE STFC PLAYERS..FACT

We ALL NO LR is a twatt and everything he says is 100% top knowledge and fact....
Don't let the TWATT get to ya

I am delighted to see that Joe Devera is back (on the bench against Coventry). His centre back pairing with Ward was highly effective earlier in the season and resulted in a number of clean sheets. The pairing always looked solid and dependable with the ball mostly played on the ground to colleagues. Let's hope he can win the opportunity to get back into the side and carry on from where they left off when he was first injured.
