2.40 at Newbury CHESTERFIELD continues his comeback. On the back of one very promising run and one in which he faded very quickly he'll be maybe 8/1.

Has he got more chance than us today?

[Dancingwilldoit]

He's got better odds for sure

Ran well.
Definitely Red looks a good prospect for the National.Ill be backing him and Vieux Lion Rouge.
My Cheltenham tips will be available shortly .
As I speak Swindon are all over us .

xxxx HELL WHAT A WIN! AND RESULTS GONE OUR WAY AS WELL!

Come on Dancing we have to enjoy these moments or we may as well not bother..
I honestly cannot remember when we scored a last minute winner and thats the second time we've scored very late on after the Gills equaliser.
I assume its down to Caldwell upping the fitness levels and introducing fighting qualities to the team.

Must admit I did a double take when I saw the goal come up on Sky. Turned the radio off earlier as we sounded dreadful and I thought - here we go again.
Fitness only comes into play late on if you haven't shipped in a hatfull by then. Fair play to him for yesterday but all it has done is help drag Swindon down with us.

All sports fans suffer from cognitive dissonance, what they want to believe colliding with reality. And we distort reality.

To have some chance of escaping (and Torquay's plunge out of the league started by going down on 51) we need 49 points by the end of the season. Eleven games left. Six wins sounds possible if you say it quickly. But 18 points over 11 games; if you went like that for the whole season you would get 75 points and a play-off place ( a pretty big transformation from relegation certs ). Compare that with a team already on 36 points. 13 more points needed means they only have to perform at the level which over the season would have them finish just above the bottom four ( only a slight improvement on their season so far ).

I'm sorry, but when you are physically as far away from the Blues as me sometimes you can see the wood for the trees. We managed 4 shots in the game, we were outplayed, we selected SEB in front of Ched and kept him on until the last 10. We had two loan failing keepers and three left backs if you count the unwilling right-footed loanee. And our opposition was the only one of our rivals who have relied on the same policy as us, grabbing inexperienced young men about to be expelled from their various academy wombs, and who, as a bonus, have weighed themselves down with Tim Sherwood. Still they had 21 efforts on goal was it?

It's a choice between Bob Hope and no hope.

Their manager said after the game "Chesterfield set up brilliantly,their manager is excellent and I knew it was going to be difficult"
Mind you this was after Caldwell gave a glowing report on Swindon before the game so maybe a bit of mutual backslapping going on.

Is this the fight of survival? or just a fluke?

[Dancingwilldoit]

Fluke. We will be brought down to earth again tomorrow night.
