It'll go one of two ways. Either we'll play a blinder and brush through them, or else... I think there's a 3rd option as AS mentioned on another thread - the game may be 'conveniently' postponed.

Interestingly darren purse has been cut from 20/1>14/1>8/1 with Skybet Lives locally but no management experience as far as I know.
Was rumoured to be joining us on more than one occasion as a player too, I seem to remember. Probably again because he lives locally.

I'm sure KT is hoping he'll turn it around - whether that's because he still believes he can, or because he's influenced by the contract he gave him is open to debate. But once the fans start turning against the management hierarchy and attendances start dropping then it's really only a matter of time.

Special mention for Rob Page who could so easily have gone defensive after they equalised but put on more attacking options, sometimes it doesn't come off, but it did last night and Kenji benefitted with a good 20-25 minute display, maybe that should be his role?
I'm not sure we could have gone any more defensive at that point - the stats must have had Swindon at about 90% possession for the half up until the goal. Agree it was a brave change, though. I'd have easily taken the draw at that point - but the second goal was a real sucker-punch and the third they stopped after JJOT's tackle expecting a foul - and that was that.

Totally agree, ZD was superb.
To be fair, their chubby no. 10 he was up against last night wasn't up to much.

It's all a matter of marketing. Since I started to refer to him as Ken or Kenny I've enjoyed watching him a lot more. Maybe we should all do the same.
As an aside, who was the last Kenneth to play for us? Was it the Good Doctor?

Well played Kenji - Nothing to moan about now. Except perhaps let's move the bloody skip a bit (or maybe a lot) closer so at least there's some semblance of entertainment there.

First look at Gorre as not seen any pre season, has he been going outside full backs in other games? Pretty sure he cut inside every time he had the ball yesterday which often meant Richards and Revell having to check their runs. If the two R's are going to be the starting front men in a 442, would like to see Gorre and Harry just whip it in the box early. Zac looked solid, Phillips nothing spectacular, hope moloney isn't out too long though. Taylor probably pick of the bunch.
He looks heavily right-footed, to me. Maybe RP wants him to cut inside more.

I've heard that they've changed one to basically stop what Suarez did in south Africa 10 when he handled the ball on the line knowing he'd get sent off but he's saved certain goal and there's a chance penalty might be saved. Which it was. Now I think it's a red and a goal, even if it doesn't cross the line. Is this correct?
I don't think so - I believe it would still be a penalty and a sending off. I think the main change is if someone is making a genuine attempt for the ball and fouling the attacking player, then it's only a caution. I believe this will result in less goalkeepers being sent off (and subsequently banned) for those near 50-50s where there's really nothing else they can do other than bring down the attacker if they get there marginally late.
